Getting Started
What is Aegisim and what does it offer?
Aegisim is a next-generation digital money protocol operating at the frontier of decentralized finance. It offers yield-bearing stablecoins — YUSD and jUSD — designed for maximum security and passive income.
Aegisim combines Bitcoin-backed reserves (for YUSD) and JLP-backed collateral (for jUSD) to provide users with stable, dollar-pegged assets that generate real yield through staking. The platform also includes a DEX, transparency portal, and a points rewards program — making it a full-featured DeFi ecosystem.
How do I get started with Aegisim?
Getting started with Aegisim is straightforward:
1. Connect your wallet — visit app.aegis.im and connect a compatible Web3 wallet.
2. Buy YUSD or jUSD — use the Buy & Bridge feature to swap supported tokens.
3. Stake your tokens — go to Stake & Earn to stake YUSD for sYUSD or jUSD for sjUSD.
4. Earn yield — rewards are distributed automatically every seven days.
No complex setup required. Aegisim is designed to be accessible to both DeFi newcomers and experienced users.
Tokens & Products
What is YUSD and how is it backed in Aegisim?
YUSD is Aegisim's flagship stablecoin, designed for maximum security. It is fully backed by Bitcoin reserves, making it one of the most secure dollar-pegged assets in DeFi.
Key features of YUSD in Aegisim:
• Bitcoin-backed collateral — reserves are verifiable on-chain through the Transparency portal.
• Staking yield — stake YUSD to receive sYUSD and earn approximately 4.11% APR passively.
• TVL over $38M — reflecting strong community confidence in the protocol.
• Yield as a Service (YaaS) — connect your wallet to receive rewards every seven days automatically.
What is jUSD and how does it differ from YUSD in Aegisim?
jUSD is Aegisim's second stablecoin, backed by JLP (Jupiter Liquidity Pool) tokens. It targets users seeking higher yield in exchange for moderate additional risk.
Comparison within Aegisim:
YUSD — Bitcoin-backed, safest, ~4.11% APR, TVL $38M+
jUSD — JLP-backed, higher APY ~4.01% base + liquidity rewards, TVL $1.4M
Stake jUSD to receive sjUSD and earn yield. Both tokens maintain their dollar peg while generating returns, with the difference lying in collateral type and risk profile. Aegisim gives users the flexibility to choose their preferred risk-reward balance.
How does staking work in Aegisim? What are sYUSD and sjUSD?
Staking in Aegisim converts your yield-bearing stablecoins into receipt tokens that automatically accrue value:
• Stake YUSD → receive sYUSD (staked YUSD)
• Stake jUSD → receive sjUSD (staked jUSD)
Your receipt tokens grow in value relative to the underlying asset as yield accumulates. Rewards are distributed every seven days directly to your wallet. To unstake, simply return your sYUSD or sjUSD through the Aegisim platform. There is a cooldown period before withdrawn funds are fully accessible — check the Stake & Earn section for current parameters.
Security & Transparency
Is Aegisim safe? How can I verify reserves?
Aegisim places security and transparency at the core of its protocol. Multiple layers protect users:
• Proof of Reserves — Aegisim provides on-chain verifiable reserve data through its Transparency Portal, audited by independent third parties.
• Smart contract audits — contracts are regularly audited by leading security firms, with reports available in the Legal Portal.
• Bitcoin-backed collateral — YUSD reserves in Bitcoin provide a battle-tested, high-liquidity backing.
• DAO Foundation — governance is overseen by the Aegisim DAO Foundation, ensuring decentralized decision-making.
Always verify contract addresses through official Aegisim documentation before interacting.
What is the Aegisim Transparency Portal?
The Aegisim Transparency Portal is a real-time dashboard showing the full collateralization state of YUSD and jUSD. It displays:
• Total Value Locked (TVL) across all Aegisim vaults
• Reserve breakdown by asset type (Bitcoin, JLP)
• Collateralization ratio for each stablecoin
• Historical reserve data and attestation reports
This level of transparency is a core principle of Aegisim — users should always be able to verify that their stablecoins are fully backed. Visit app.aegis.im/transparency to explore the portal.
Ecosystem & Features
What is Aegisim DEX?
Aegisim DEX (available at app.aegisdex.io) is a decentralized exchange that is live now and integrated into the Aegisim ecosystem.
The DEX allows users to swap tokens, provide liquidity, and access DeFi trading directly with Aegisim's stablecoins. Portfolio tracking within the main Aegisim app for DEX positions is coming soon, with full integration planned for future updates.
The Aegisim DEX complements the staking and yield products to create a comprehensive DeFi suite.
What is the Aegisim Points program and how do I earn points?
The Aegisim Points program is a rewards system that incentivizes active participation in the Aegisim ecosystem. Points are earned by:
• Holding YUSD or jUSD in your wallet
• Staking tokens (holding sYUSD or sjUSD)
• Participating in liquidity activities on Aegisim DEX

Points accumulate over time and may qualify participants for future rewards, airdrops, or governance participation. Connect your wallet at app.aegis.im/earn to start earning Aegisim Points today.
