River is building a chain‑abstraction stablecoin system that lets users deposit collateral on one chain and mint the omni‑chain stablecoin satUSD on another—without bridging or wrapping. The result is native access to yield and leverage across ecosystems, without selling underlying assets.
Over the past two years, crypto have expanded into a multi‑chain landscape:
Despite this growth, liquidity remains fragmented across isolated chains. Running a single strategy—say, collateralizing ETH on Arbitrum while holding BNB on BNB Chain—often requires multiple bridging steps and DEX swaps, raising costs and operational risk. More chains have created optionality, but not systemic capital efficiency.
River’s Chain‑Abstraction Stablecoin System
Most stablecoins are anchored to single chains and rely on third‑party liquidity when moving across networks. River takes a third path—chain abstraction: hide chain boundaries so users provision capital once and deploy it anywhere.
Built on LayerZero and the OFT standard, River enables:
It can be described as a global on-chain account—accessible across ecosystems without re-creating accounts or re-establishing positions on every network.
Product Traction
River’s product is live and scaling rapidly. In the past two months, its chain-abstraction stablecoin system has achieved:
Wherever assets reside, River can activate them across strategies and ecosystems without friction.
DeFi TVL now exceeds $150B, with stablecoins at $270B in market cap.
Yet the market still faces:
As more DeFi protocols, stablecoin issuers, and public companies launch their own Layer1s and Layer2s, liquidity risks are becoming even more siloed. River’s chain-abstraction stablecoin is built to connect ecosystems, not add another isolated chain.
Chain-Abstraction Stablecoin
Connecting Liquidity and Value Across Ecosystems
River isn’t simply another stablecoin. It is built on a natively omnichain architecture designed to change how assets move and interact across chains.
Ethena’s hedging strategy, Liquity’s liquidation model, or Usual Money’s minting mechanism can be forked; however, the chain-abstraction architecture that underpins River cannot be replicated in the same way.
Most stablecoins were never designed to solve the integration of cross‑chain capital, liquidity, and yield. satUSD was engineered from day one as an omni‑chain asset, deployed with LayerZero technology and the OFT standard. This approach currently has no comparable solution in the market.
The process is instant. Without bridges or wrapped tokens, transactions move across chains like early peer-to-peer crypto payments and settle faster than bank wire transfers.
River’s ambition goes beyond issuing a stablecoin. Its aim is to let any asset, anywhere, take part in value creation, distribution, and circulation — instantly, securely, and without friction.
To connect with value. Flow with River.
About River
River is building a chain abstraction stablecoin system that enables cross-chain collateral, yield, and liquidity, all without bridging. Powered by the omni-CDP stablecoin satUSD, users can earn, leverage, and scale across different ecosystems natively.
River features the first omni-CDP module that allows users to collateralize assets on Chain A and mint stablecoin satUSD on Chain B — without bridging the assets.
