# Overview

**Delta Money** is a **digital dollar issuer**, connecting **TradFi institutions** to **on-chain finance**. Powered by **DUSD** — a **fully backed tokenized dollar** collateralized by a **diversified basket** of **fiat currencies**, **crypto assets**, and **derivatives**.

**DUSD**, Delta’s **digital dollar**, offers a **scalable solution** for users seeking **USD-denominated stability**. It is fully **collateralized** by a diversified basket of **cash-equivalents**, **yield-bearing stablecoins**, and a **strategically balanced portfolio** of **long-short positions** on leading **crypto assets**.

The **peg stability** of DUSD is supported by maintaining a **one-to-one or higher collateral ratio** against its **reserve assets**. This is achieved through holding **fiat currencies**, **short-term dated sovereign debt**, **stablecoins**, and **delta-hedging** spot **volatile assets** to mitigate **price fluctuations** in the underlying collateral.

The protocol’s **reserve delta** is a **governance-controlled parameter** that optimizes **stability**, **risk management**, and **revenue generation**. This **dynamic approach** distinguishes **Delta Money** from **fixed market-neutral synthetic stablecoin issuers**, enabling the **Delta ecosystem** to **capture upside exposure** — guided by a specific set of **governance parameters** that size **risk-adjusted allocations** across **reserve assets**, while **limiting downside risks**.
