Introducing Polaris. A self-scaling stablecoin operating system. Uncorrelated yields. No T-Bills. No CEXs. No compromises. Here's what we've been building 🧵
Polaris USDp (USDp) Pre-launch Stablecoin Tracker
USDp
Pharos can still tell you how this asset is supposed to work, when it expects to launch, and what sources to watch. Live market, peg, liquidity, and safety surfaces activate only after the first post-launch data sync.
Full launch status and history
Public testnet open on Sepolia at testnet.polaris.finance (the earlier app.testnet.polarisfinance.io host no longer resolves); official documentation is live at docs.polaris.finance. Polaris has moved from polarisfinance.io to polaris.finance (currently a coming-soon page linking the testnet, docs, and @polarisfnd), took its earlier blog offline, and now brands the asset USDp rather than pUSD. Security review in progress with professional audits upcoming per the former polarisfinance.io roadmap; mainnet date uncommitted: the former site stated no date was set and prioritised security over speed, so the earlier 2026-Q4 expectation was retired on 2026-08-05. A $1M angel round with Ethereum Foundation, Liquity, LI.FI, Altitude, and Fusion participation was reported on September 4 2026, without a mainnet date.

Polaris consolidates on polaris.finance; former domain now serves only a move notice
A polaris-docs commit repointed documentation at polaris.finance; polarisfinance.io now shows only the move notice and the retired blog survives solely in web.archive.org captures. The Sepolia testnet app remains labelled Alpha, docs state no production addresses, audit status, or launch status may be inferred from testnet values, and no mainnet date or audit announcement accompanied the consolidation.
SourcePolaris closes $1M angel round with Ethereum Foundation, Liquity, and LI.FI participation
Polaris reported a $1 million angel round joined by the Ethereum Foundation, Fusion (IPOR), Altitude, Liquity, LI.FI, and more than 30 founders and contributors including Anthony Sassano, to build pETH as yield-bearing collateral for USDp and GOLDp. No mainnet date accompanied the round, and the Polaris blog carried no post about it.
SourcePolaris documentation renames pUSD to USDp
The official docs at docs.polaris.finance describe USDp as the native Polaris dollar (115% minimum collateral ratio, pETH collateral, Earn Vault), and the Sepolia testnet app at testnet.polaris.finance uses the USDp label throughout. The docs repository was created on June 8 2026 and its diagrams switched to USDp wording on June 22; the earlier Polaris blog posts used pUSD.
SourceTokenBrice publishes 'The Path to the North Star' founder narrative
Long-form post outlining Polaris's three-pillar mission (counterparty-free yield, ETH-correlated yield alternatives, restoring DeFi credibility) and tracing the protocol's lineage to Robert Lauko's bonding-curve research; mainnet timeline still uncommitted.
Source'Sustaining the Ecosystem: pETH & pUSD Flows' published
Documents Polaris's autonomous protocol-revenue distribution mechanism routing borrower interest and liquidation flows to USDp (then pUSD) Stability Pool participants by holdings.
SourcePolaris introduces self-scaling stablecoin operating system
Three-token model (pETH, pUSD, POLAR) with immutable code design and uncorrelated yield from protocol revenues; pUSD has since been renamed USDp.
SourceImmutable CDP, Yield Included
USDp (formerly pUSD) is Polaris Finance's pre-launch Liquity-style immutable CDP stablecoin on Ethereum, built by co-founders TokenBrice and 0xLuude as what they call the successor to Liquity's ethos: immutable core contracts, no admin keys, and no off-chain assets. USDp is minted against pETH collateral via , and the angle comes from protocol revenue: borrowing interest, swap fees, conversion gains, and DEX fees, rather than from depositing reserves into Aave. The public testnet is live on Sepolia with audits still ahead and no mainnet date set, since the team says it prioritises security over speed, which leaves it time to prove that you can ship immutability without sacrificing usability. For a market saturated with centralized fiat-backed tokens and yield products built on leverage, USDp is a deliberate bet that there's still demand for the Liquity V1 philosophy, upgraded.

pUSD: No Counterparty, No Ceiling
How USDp (then pUSD) delivers counterparty-free yield that scales alongside protocol adoption and the developing ecosystem supporting it.

Sustaining the Ecosystem: pETH & pUSD Flows
Polaris replaces emission-based incentives with an autonomous protocol-revenue distribution mechanism that flows to participants based on their asset holdings: no governance-driven allocation, no bribery.
The Path to the North Star
TokenBrice traces Polaris's origins from Robert Lauko's bonding-curve research to today's three-pillar mission: counterparty-free yield, ETH-correlated alternatives, and restoring DeFi credibility against a backdrop where only $184.79M of the $338.9B stablecoin supply is non-freezable.
