When I first heard about USD1, I didn’t feel much. The term stablecoin seemed to be commonplace. Whether it’s USDT or USDC, they have become part of our daily transactions. However, when I truly delved into the logic of Lista DAO, I discovered the uniqueness of USD1.
Its goal is not to become the 'next giant,' but to be the 'most convenient choice.' In the BNB ecosystem, USD1 is designed as a lubricant for liquidity, allowing funds to flow more smoothly in lending, liquidation, and cross-chain transactions.
I once witnessed a cross-chain test firsthand. A friend exchanged stablecoins between different chains, and the slippage made him wince. But when he swapped for USD1, the entire process was surprisingly smooth. He said, 'This is how stablecoins should be.' At that moment, I also realized that the value of USD1 is not in its size, but in the experience.
Some in the community say that USD1 is like a backup water pipe. It may not be very noticeable under normal circumstances, but when the main water pipe has a problem, it becomes the lifeline. For the Binance ecosystem, the existence of such a native stablecoin is the strongest assurance.
Stability is not just about price stability, but also about trust stability. What Lista DAO has imbued in USD1 is this 'invisible yet perceptible' trust.
Perhaps in a few years, when people talk about stablecoins again, they will think of the smoothness of USD1, just as we think of the earliest USDT today. It represents a seemingly quiet experiment that is enough to reshape the landscape.
