Tron’s USDD was launched just a few days before the infamous TerraUSD crash began. Since then stablecoin has managed to grab the empty space. However, the token carries similar algorithms as Terra. At the time of initiation, the TRON DAO Reserve mentioned the setting of a basic risk-free interest rate of 30% per annum. This pledge was even compared to the Anchor Protocol on the Terra offering an APY of 19.5% on UST.
