Where USDA lives: supply by blockchain
USDA is spread across several networks. The largest, Ethereum, holds 63% of supply. Check that the token on your chain is the issuer's official contract, not a bridged copy.
How USDA is backed
USDA is minted against crypto collateral locked in smart contracts, usually worth more than the stablecoins issued, with liquidations or hedges protecting the peg.
Minting and redemption: USDa is minted by depositing collateral or USDT (1:1) into Avalon CeDeFi, while redemptions require loan repayment or conversion to USDT.
USDA risks
A sharp crash in the crypto collateral can outrun liquidations and leave the system under-backed.
Bugs, governance attacks or bad price feeds can drain collateral or trigger wrongful liquidations.
Copies of a stablecoin moved by third-party bridges depend on those bridges. Prefer the issuer's native contract on each chain.
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
