Introduction to Chad Finance

Welcome to the official documentation for Chad Finance, a decentralized stablecoin protocol engineered to enhance capital efficiency, ensure stablecoin peg stability, and deliver risk-free yield opportunities within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This GitBook provides a comprehensive resource for understanding the protocol’s architecture, components, governance, and roadmap, with a focus on technical precision and operational rigor.

Overview of Chad Finance

Chad Finance is a decentralized stablecoin protocol designed to address critical inefficiencies in DeFi, including liquidity provision, capital immobility, and stablecoin stability. Built with a modular architecture, the protocol integrates three core components:

1. Chad Swap: A decentralized exchange (DEX) forked from Uniswap V3, with a protocol fee switch enabled by default, redirecting 10% of swap fees to the protocol treasury.

2. CUSD: A decentralized stablecoin that can be minted by collateralizing liquidity provider (LP) positions on Chad Swap, with stability mechanisms to maintain its peg.

3. sCUSD: A yield-bearing derivative of CUSD, implemented as an ERC-4626 vault, with yields generated through auctions of protocol-collected swap fees.

The protocol is optimized for deployment on Layer 2 (L2) networks, leveraging their scalability to drive liquidity, unlock idle capital, and create a self-reinforcing ecosystem. Chad Finance is governed by a vote-escrow (ve) token model, ensuring alignment between long-term stakeholders and protocol success.
