Ranked list
- 1
Reservoir Protocol
CDPs · Monad, Ethereum, Plasma +14
Reservoir is a stablecoin protocol built around the rUSD stablecoin, with yield-bearing versions srUSD and trUSD, and about $69.7 million in TVL. It is multichain and relies partly on real-world assets, so reserve and counterparty details deserve a close read.
ScoreScore 7.0 out of 10TVL $69.6M−2.3% - 2
River Omni-CDP
CDPs · BNB Chain, BSquared, Ethereum +9
River is a multi-chain stablecoin protocol that lets users post collateral on one chain and mint the satUSD stablecoin without bridging. DefiLlama shows about $79 million in TVL, but fee and risk details are not published.
ScoreScore 6.8 out of 10TVL $74.3M−3.9% - 3
Parallel Protocol V3
CDPs · Hyperliquid L1, Base, Ethereum +2
Parallel Protocol V3 is a small, multi-chain stablecoin protocol that issues USDp against yield-bearing collateral and pays savings yield through sUSDp. It is audited and transparent about reserves, but its size and track record are modest.
ScoreScore 6.8 out of 10TVL $852K−1.1% - 4
Decentralized Euro
CDPs · Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum +2
Decentralized Euro (dEURO) is a euro stablecoin minted against crypto collateral on Ethereum, with lending, savings and shareholder modules. It is a small, young protocol whose headline 10% yield depends on borrower demand.
ScoreScore 6.5 out of 10TVL $1.11M+8.8% - 5
LiquidLoans
CDPs · Pulse, Base
LiquidLoans is a collateralized debt position protocol on PulseChain and Base where you lock ETH or PLS and mint the USDL stablecoin at 0% interest. The appeal is no interest and no admin keys; the cost is a thin 110% collateral buffer and a small, volatile ecosystem.
ScoreScore 6.4 out of 10TVL $1.88M−6.5% - 6
BTCFi CDP
CDPs · Bitcoin, Base, Core
BTCFi CDP lets Bitcoin holders lock BTC as collateral to mint BtcUSD, a BTC-backed stablecoin, built by the team behind Bifrost Network. It is a small, niche protocol with a named audit but little published detail on fees or liquidation terms.
ScoreScore 6.0 out of 10TVL $6.72M−3.8% - 7
QiDao
CDPs · Polygon, Base, Ethereum +11
QiDao is a CDP protocol that lets users borrow stablecoins against crypto collateral without selling it, advertising 0% interest. It is multi-chain but small by TVL, and key details are not.
ScoreScore 6.0 out of 10TVL $2.10M−1.4% - 8
Vaultedge
CDPs · Base, Plasma
Vaultedge is a small CDP-style borrowing protocol on Base and Plasma that lets users borrow the USDVE stablecoin at 0% interest, with a one-time fee, while their collateral keeps earning yield. It is early-stage and low in TVL, so treat it as a higher-risk experiment.
ScoreScore 5.8 out of 10TVL $141K−1.2% - 9
Preon Finance
CDPs · Arbitrum, Polygon, Base
Preon Finance is a collateralised debt position (CDP) protocol on Arbitrum, Polygon and Base that lets users borrow the STAR stablecoin against crypto at 0% interest. It is a low-TVL protocol where the main trade-off is a tight 110% collateral floor.
ScoreScore 5.5 out of 10TVL $211K−0.9% - 10
Button Wrappers
CDPs · Base, Ethereum, Avalanche +1
Button Wrappers is a small DeFi protocol listed for splitting crypto assets into senior and junior tranches. Its app now presents Buttonwood lending pools, and with low TVL and no listed audits it suits experienced users only.
