Sonic has officially launched USSD, a USD stablecoin deeply integrated into the network layer, designed to enhance the efficiency of on-chain payments and value transfer. USSD is built on Frax's frxUSD framework, inheriting its core advantages of dynamic collateral ratio adjustment and algorithmic stability mechanisms. Through native network integration, it achieves lower transaction latency and higher capital utilization. Unlike traditional cross-chain stablecoins, USSD is not simply a port; instead, it is deeply coupled with the Sonic network from the underlying protocol level, enabling it to directly participate in node validation and transaction sequencing, becoming part of the network infrastructure. This design not only reduces reliance on intermediate protocols but also provides DeFi News applications with a safer and more stable source of liquidity. Currently, USSD has launched its testing phase on the Sonic mainnet, supporting seamless integration with mainstream wallets and decentralized exchanges. In the future, the project plans to gradually introduce community voting rights for the collateral asset pool through a decentralized governance mechanism, enhancing the system's transparency and censorship resistance.
