chUSD and schUSD is a fork of Ethena USDe with minimal changes We send much love and many thanks to our friends at ethena.fi for sharing the fruits of their labor.
Chateau USD (chUSD) is a synthetic dollar mintable with USDC, and USDT. Chateau holds 100K-200K in our hot wallet available for immediate redemption. The rest of chUSD is invested in BlackRock's BUIDL Short term US treasuries fund with next day redemption. chUSD can be staked for schUSD, which earns yield from private credit strategies.
Chateau partnered with Covenant VC, a New York City based hedge fund, to deliver their private credit portfolio with exceptional high Sharpe returns onchain. To learn more about various types of assets in the Private Credit market, please visit the page.
