Collateral
Overcollateralized loans on ICON against sICX (staked ICX), with cross-chain Hub collateral support for assets bridged in via Balanced's xCall infrastructure
Peg Mechanism
CDP-style mint: users borrow bnUSD against eligible collateral on the ICON Hub through the Balanced Loans contract, paying a 0.2% origination fee and a 2% annualised interest charge; loans must remain above the protocol's collateral ratio or are eligible for liquidation. The same bnUSD supply circulates wrapper-free across connected chains via xCall, so cross-chain balances net back to the canonical ICON issuance.
Jurisdiction

Proof Of Reserves
No proof-of-reserves entry in the static profile.
Contracts
5 deployments tracked across Base, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and BSC, plus 1 more.
