A fiat-backed stablecoin issued by Capitaldesk, designed for institutional settlement with reserve custody, independent reconciliation and auditable controls built into issuance rather than added afterwards.
Current deployment — TRON Nile test network
The contract is an upgradeable proxy with six separately held role keys — owner, master minter, pauser, blacklister, rescuer and registrar. No single key can both issue tokens and reassign the roles that govern issuance.
Transfers are restricted to an allowlist of registered addresses. This is a deliberate constraint of a controlled issuance environment, not a temporary measure.
How tokens are backed
Every token in circulation corresponds to United States dollars held in a segregated account for the benefit of token holders. Reserve balances are recorded in a double-entry ledger and reconciled daily against three independent sources.
A daily reconciliation compares all three. Any variance is recorded and alerted rather than resolved silently, and the system refuses to approve new issuance while reserves are short.
What happens between a wire arriving and a token existing
Redemption runs the same sequence in reverse. Tokens must be received and confirmed on chain before any dollars leave the reserve account.
Applied continuously, not at onboarding only
| Control | Applied |
|---|---|
| Customer due diligence | Beneficial ownership to 25%, sanctions and PEP screening, documented approval by someone other than the preparer |
| Address screening | Every payout address screened independently of the customer |
| Transaction monitoring | Activity compared against the profile each customer declared at onboarding |
| Periodic review | Every relationship revisited on a risk-based cycle |
| Audit trail | Hash-chained and tamper-evident; an altered record is detectable at the exact row |
Where this stands today
USDX is deployed on the TRON Nile test network for validation of the issuance and reserve infrastructure. Tokens on the test network carry no value, are not redeemable, and are not offered to the public.
Mainnet deployment is subject to completion of an independent smart contract audit, custody arrangements for reserves, and applicable regulatory requirements.
