Bima Labs is building USDD, a stablecoin that is pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by Bitcoin. The stablecoin can be minted by depositing Bitcoin liquid staking and restaking tokens as collateral. The project plans to accept collateral from multiple chains, including Bitcoin, Bitcoin L2s, Ethereum, EVM-compatible networks, and Solana.

Bima Labs 正在构建 USDD，这是一种与美元挂钩并由比特币支持的稳定币。可以通过存入比特币流动质押并重新质押代币作为抵押品来铸造稳定币。该项目计划接受来自多个链的抵押品，包括比特币、比特币 L2、以太坊、EVM 兼容网络和 Solana。

“Users can deposit their Bitcoin liquid staking tokens (LSTs) and liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) from a wide variety of providers to mint USBD from Lorenzo, Lombard, pStake, Bedrock, Acre, DLC.link, ALEX Labs BTC, and more,” said Sridhar.

“用户可以存入来自各种提供商的比特币流动性质押代币（LST）和流动性重新质押代币（LRT），以从 Lorenzo、Lombard、pStake、Bedrock、Acre、DLC.link、ALEX Labs BTC 等铸造 USBD， ”斯里达尔说。

Once users mint USBD, they can use it for lending, borrowing and swapping, among other use cases. “We envision a world of new credit, debt and hybrid use cases powered by USBD, whether you’re in China, the U.S., Brazil or Europe,” Sridhar added.

一旦用户铸造了 USBD，他们就可以将其用于借贷、借贷和交换等用途。 “我们设想一个由 USBD 提供支持的新信贷、债务和混合用例的世界，无论您是在中国、美国、巴西还是欧洲，”Sridhar 补充道。

This announcement comes at a time when Bitcoin is emerging fast as a major dApp ecosystem, driven by the rising demand for crypto staking and restaking protocols and now stablecoins.

这一公告发布之际，由于对加密货币质押和重新质押协议以及现在稳定币的需求不断增长，比特币正在迅速崛起为主要的 dApp 生态系统。

“Whatever was accomplished on Ethereum within 4-5 years is being done on Bitcoin within a span of 4-5 months,” said Sridhar. “The Bitcoin ecosystem has a higher total addressable market, more asset utilization in places like Latin America and the Middle East and North Africa, and ultimately more potential to unlock higher yield opportunities.”

Sridhar 表示：“以太坊上 4 到 5 年内完成的事情，比特币也能在 4 到 5 个月内完成。” “比特币生态系统在拉丁美洲、中东和北非等地拥有更高的总潜在市场、更高的资产利用率，并最终更有潜力释放更高的收益机会。”

Currently in testnet, USBD is planned for a mainnet launch in the fourth quarter of 2024. The project also plans to launch its governance token BIMA before the end of the year, according to Sridhar.

目前，USBD 正处于测试网阶段，计划于 2024 年第四季度推出主网。Sridhar 表示，该项目还计划在年底前推出其治理代币 BIMA。
