Who We Are:

Ethena Labs is a leading company in the DeFi space focused on developing innovative products for modern finance. Ethena's primary offering is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum, providing a crypto-native solution for currency, USDe, and a globally accessible dollar savings asset, sUSDe.

Our primary goal is to offer globally accessible, crypto-native financial solutions that bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset economy. We prioritize transparency, efficiency, and empowering individuals and institutions to have greater control over their assets.

Our Mission:

Ethena Labs is actively creating and deploying a range of cutting-edge products to address key challenges and unlock new opportunities in the digital finance sector. Our flagship product, USDe, is a synthetic dollar supported by digital assets and utilizes a unique hedging strategy to uphold its peg, ensuring scalability and censorship-resistant properties.

We also provide sUSDe, which generates crypto-native rewards from derivatives markets' funding rates, offering an alternative to traditional financial products. Moreover, in collaboration with industry partners, we are developing USDtb, a stablecoin backed by traditional assets, tailored for institutional clients, and iUSDe, designed to facilitate traditional finance institutions' access to crypto-native rewards with compliance features.

Our most impactful initiative, Converge, in partnership with blockchain leaders, aims to serve as the nexus where DeFi intersects with CeFi and TradFi, creating an issuance layer for tokenized assets integrated with existing DeFi protocols, fostering institutional participation in the decentralized economy.

Join our mission of building a more open, efficient, and interconnected global financial system.
