Everything you need to know about Braid and our stablecoin infrastructure.
Braid is a stablecoin infrastructure layer that enables seamless integration of yield-bearing stablecoins into any application. We provide a simple API that allows you to add auto-earn capabilities to idle USDC and USDT balances.
Braid acts as an abstraction layer between your application and various DeFi yield protocols. When you integrate our API, idle stablecoin balances automatically earn yield through our optimized routing system, while maintaining instant liquidity for withdrawals.
No, Braid is non-custodial. We never hold your assets. Our smart contracts facilitate the movement of funds between yield protocols, but you maintain full control and ownership of your assets at all times.
Currently, Braid supports USDC and USDT on multiple chains including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. We're continuously expanding our supported assets and chains based on market demand.
Yield is generated by routing stablecoins through vetted DeFi protocols that offer lending, liquidity provision, and other yield-generating strategies. Our system automatically optimizes for the best risk-adjusted returns.
While we work with audited and vetted protocols, DeFi carries inherent risks including smart contract vulnerabilities, market volatility, and protocol-specific risks. We implement multiple layers of security and continuously monitor all integrated protocols.
Integration is simple with our REST API or SDKs. You can start with our sandbox environment, then move to production with just a few configuration changes. Most integrations take less than a day to implement.
Braid charges a small percentage of the yield generated. There are no upfront costs, subscription fees, or transaction fees. You only pay when your users earn yield. Contact us for detailed pricing information.
We work closely with legal and regulatory experts to ensure compliance. Our infrastructure is designed to be compatible with existing financial regulations, and we provide tools to help our partners meet their compliance requirements.
