Reserve Rights-pris

One of the most important types of cryptocurrency is called a stablecoin. As the name suggests, stablecoins are resistant to volatility that troubles other digital currencies. This comes from the fact that they are backed by other assets of value. Their price is pegged to fiat currencies, with the USD being the most common.

However, one problem with stablecoins is that they are mostly centralized. Their supply is controlled by a company, like Tether in case of USDT, or Circle in case of USDC. Over the years, the crypto industry attempted to make an alternative form of stablecoin that would be decentralized and censorship-resistant. This led to the creation of RTokens, and Reserve Rights (RSR).

What is Reserve Rights?

Reserve Rights stands as a decentralized protocol for asset-backed stablecoins. Operating with a dual-token system, it aims to craft stablecoins that are resistant to censorship. The primary stablecoin, RSV, constitutes the initial crypto token, while the second, RSR, functions as an ERC-20 token, fulfilling dual roles. Notably, RSR operates as a governance token, enabling holders to propose and vote on protocol alterations. Additionally, RSR is pivotal for over-collateralization for the protocol's stablecoin, RSV.

The Reserve Rights team

Matt Elder and Nevin Freeman co-founded Reserve Rights. Elder, who previously worked at Google and Quixey, now serves as Reserve's CTO, bringing his wealth of engineering expertise to the project. A seasoned entrepreneur, Freeman leads the team as the CEO, spearheading Reserve's vision. The project, launched in 2019, has witnessed significant growth under their guidance. The Reserve team has expanded to include over 200 talented individuals, including developers, engineers, legal experts, and compliance staff.

RSR: Reserve Rights’ native token

The native cryptocurrency of Reserve Rights is known as the RSR token. It was introduced in May 2019, with an initial launch price of $0.005. The project's team pre-mined a total supply of 100 billion units. Currently, the circulating supply of RSR tokens stands at 50.6 billion.

How does Reserve Rights work?

The project’s RSR token is used as overcollateralization of Reserve stablecoins via staking and governance. Therefore, RSR exists as a backstop to make Reserve stablecoin holders whole in the unlikely event of a collateral token default. The only way for RSR holders to provide this overcollateralization, is by staking their tokens on Reserve stablecoin staking pools. In return, stakers are rewarded based on the revenue distribution of the protocol. Besides from that, RSR is used as the Reserve Rights governance token. Therefore RSR holders can vote and propose changes within the protocol.

RSR token use cases

The RSR token serves a dual purpose, offering users opportunities for staking and governance participation. Users wield the capability to suggest modifications and vote on proposals advanced by fellow users. Moreover, RSR tokens can be staked, playing a role in overcollateralizing Reserve Rights' stablecoins, thereby allowing holders to garner an annual percentage yield (APY) linked to their staked quantity. Additionally, the token can be seamlessly traded on the open market, opening up opportunities for exchange.

RSR token distribution

Reserve Rights allocated its tokens as follows:

• 49.4 percent of the total supply was locked in a smart contract called the "Slow Wallet" for gradual release.
• 3 percent was allocated to Huobi Prime's initial exchange offering (IEO) participants.
• 2.85 percent was reserved for the project.
• 1 percent was distributed to private investors.
• 43.75 percent of the tokens were released into circulation.
