Yesterday in the Solana Chinese community, I saw a saying that left me stunned for half a day: Dirk, the co-founder of CUDIS, said that Solana's goal is to "attract retail users from outside the crypto space" and make blockchain as simple as swiping through short videos.
The group erupted in cheers; some said "SOL is about to break out," while others calculated "how much incremental growth new users can bring." But I was fixated on the phrase "outside users," and suddenly felt a chill run down my spine—when novice users come in with real money, will their first thing be to buy SOL or to find a non-exploitative entry asset?
In the next second, I made a decision: to exchange part of my SOL position for USDD from @usddio.
My friend laughed at me: “The ecosystem is about to explode, are you selling SOL to buy stablecoins? Isn't that backwards?”
I asked him: “If you are a newcomer, would you dare to directly convert your salary into the highly volatile SOL, or would you first try out an asset that is 'transparent in value and as stable as a deposit'?”
I am very clear that the so-called 'out-of-the-circle narrative' essentially involves more ordinary people entering this field with a vague trust in blockchain and an extreme desire for asset security. What they need is not a story of explosive growth, but a safe, understandable, and honest starting point.
USDD is the starting point. It doesn’t complicate things with technical jargon; it simply does one thing: with 130%+ on-chain over-collateralization, it makes the value of each USDD transparent and reliable. Newcomers don’t need to understand smart contracts; they just need to know 'my money is backed by real assets.'
This is the true #USDD as a stable witness—during the era of public chains frantically 'going out of the circle,' it does not aim to be the shiniest star, but rather the most solid foundation. When new users are attracted by the rise of SOL, USDD will become the first place they feel safe to store their funds; when they want to explore DeFi, USDD will be their safest 'practice asset.'
So, when you are optimistic about SOL's 'out-of-the-circle story,' why not also consider: who will be the real beneficiaries of this story, those highly volatile native tokens, or the stable foundation that can provide 'a sense of security' for new users?
My answer is already written in the on-chain records of USDD.
