Asteroneo has pushed its USDC bridge stay on the Neo X EVM sidechain, the primary such bridge on the not too long ago launched blockchain. Now, customers can migrate USDC from the BNB Chain and mint NeoUSD on the Neo X chain.
The Asteroneo improvement group states that every NUSD token is collateralized by 1 USDC token on the BNB Chain. When migrating USDC from BNB Chain to Neo X, the USDC is locked on the BNB Chain bridge contract, and NUSD is minted on Neo X. When NUSD is bridged again to BNB Chain, it’s then burnt on Neo X, and the USDC is launched on BNB Chain. There’s a 0.01% price incurred by the person when migrating NUSD off Neo X and redeeming for USDC on BNB Chain, estimated to happen over 3 to five minutes.

To an effort to extend the bridge’s safety, Asteroneo purports to have carried out a easy, barebones construction to restrict sophisticated processes and potential exploitations. The group states:
The bridge options an exterior multisignature pockets to safe the funds from assaults, a backend that tracks suspect actions, and a double database to maintain all on-chain knowledge and bridge TXs, so as to be certain that we don’t run into any exploits. Every bridge transaction additionally has a selected nonce that’s consumed on the opposite chain so as to keep away from double spending.
To assist hold NUSD pegged to US $1, Asteroneo has deployed an arbitrage bot. If the value of NUSD drops under $1, the bot (or a platform person) can use GAS to buy NUSD and bridge to the BNB Chain to redeem for $1 price of USDC. The bot/person can do that till the purchases of NUSD improve the value of NUSD to parity with $1.
Nevertheless, the Asteroneo group believes that when the GAS-NUSD liquidity pool reaches a sure degree, worth stability will improve, and it’ll develop into harder to de-peg NUSD from its $1 goal.
Objectives for NUSD
The Asteroneo group anticipates the brand new bridge will facilitate numerous kinds of DeFi-related exercise, equivalent to easier worth discovery for tokens, LP swimming pools with stablecoin pairs, buying and selling alternatives, and preliminary DEX choices and token launchpads.
Wanting ahead, the Asteroneo group intends so as to add assist for extra stablecoin choices (i.e., USDT, DAI, and TUSD), add assist for greater than ten blockchain networks that customers can bridge between, and combine NUSD borrowing and lending by a collaboration with Intersect Finance.
Asteroneo has acknowledged that NUSD would possibly lose its relevance sooner or later sooner or later, presumably as a result of extra entrenched stablecoins like USDC or USDT would possibly see widespread assist on Neo X, or Neo World Growth launches an official Neo X bridge. Ought to this develop into the case, the group plans to launch a stableswap characteristic that may enable customers to change stablecoins. Asteroneo will stop LP rewards on related swimming pools and migrate the hypothetical rewards to potential USDC or USDT LPs in that potential timeline.
