Product Launch
USR (USDx Saving Rate)
USR（USDx Saving Rate) is the systematic interest saving rate of USDx. With the launch of USR, USDx will become the first fiat-back stablecoin implementing systematic interest. Users can earn interest income on their USDx holdings by simply depositing USDx into the USR contract. Instant redemption of principal plus interest earned is also supported.
USR is funded by interests earned by constituent stablecoins of USDx, which are automatically converted to dTokens upon each mintage and sequentially supplied to dForce Yield Markets to earn interests. Presently, interests collected by constituent stablecoins are 100% redistributed to USDx holders who deposit USDx into the USR contract.
Real-time APY of USR is 9.24%.

DeFi Integrations
![Image for post|830x430]
On 31 August, dForce proposed to add a dToken pool (dUSDx/dDAI/dUSDC/dUSDT) on Curve.Fi. dToken is a yield aggregator launched by dForce, featured by harvesting the highest underlying yield in the market, as well as gas optimization through a set of strategies that is anticipated to save at least 60% of gas consumption associated (compared to direct interactions with underlying lending protocol for asset supply and sale of governance token mined). By providing liquidity to dToken Pool on Curve.Fi, LPs will have access to:
- The highest underlying yield in the market (all governance token farmed, including COMP, will be automatically converted into underlying stablecoin and added to underlying yield).
- Participate in dForce (DF) Liquidity Mining
- Mine CRV simultaneously if the proposal is supported.
- Receive fees that come from trading volume.
The integration is underway and is expected to go live in October.
