Are you ready for a new era of Web3 Data Economy?
@H2O_data brings you the first non-pegged stable asset with liquid staking for the $OCEAN and $FIL ecosystems.
Find out how $PSDN plans to follow in the footsteps of $Y2K and $BTRFLY, two of $NEWO's incubated projects.

1️⃣ What is $H2O?
@H2O_data is a friendly fork of $RAI but using $OCEAN as collateral.
In a nutshell, users can borrow $H2O by depositing $OCEAN into a safe vault.
We saw disastrous events last week with the $USDC depeg, and participants now understand the importance of removing counterparty risk.
It is clear that we need a decentralized stable asset and dollar independence.
$H2O is a stable asset with a controlled float regime, similar to $RAI.
Supply and demand determine the H2O/USD exchange rate, and the protocol constantly devalues and revalues it in an effort to keep prices stable.
2️⃣ Use Cases
✅ Reducing volatility of data prices in Ocean-powered data marketplaces
✅ Enabling $OCEAN holders to get more leverage
✅ Providing stability to DAOs as a reserve asset
3️⃣ Working Mechanism
Similar to Safe vaults on Reflexer
If colleteral price surges > more borrowing power > generate more $H2O > vault users sell $H2O > $H2O price decreases
Revaluing stage ; Positive redemption rates incentivize Vault users to buy $H2O from the market to repay their debt
During the devaluing stage token holders can short $H2O while safe vault users can mint more $H2O. The redemption rate becomes negative to incentivize the process
4️⃣ $PSDN$PSDN embraces the governance minimization approach of Reflexer where they aim to autonomously set any parameters through external smart contracts
This will take time to achieve; however, removing possible human error would be extremely helpful towards decentralization
$PSDN/$OCEAN LP is staked to create a backstop mechanism in case the protocol is undercapitalized.
$H2O resource flow is directed by $PSDN governance until reaching ungovernance.
Emissions and tokenomics were revamped in January to mitigate selling pressure at a 1/10 rate.
After decreasing emissions, the PSDN price stabilized and has been on an increasing trend due to the LSD narrative.
✅ The endgame for $H2O is to be the first non-pegged stable asset collateralized by dataFi LSDs. With this goal in mind, they recently announced $psdnFIL, a liquid staking wrapper for $FIL .
6️⃣ Conclusion:
$H2O will be backed by more data assets, and with more usage of these data protocols, exposure to $H2O will increase. While the capitalization of dataFi grows, $H2O might become a reserve asset of the ecosystem.
As H2O reaches a higher adoption rate, protocol revenues will increase, as well as the revenues that are going to be distributed to $vIPSND holders.
$PSDN might be a great play for exposure to $FIL ecosystem and LSD narrative for the short term, and an undeniable revenue machine for DataFi for the long term.
