Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal

Who We Are:

Ethena Labs is at the forefront of the next wave of De
Fi, dedicated to building products for modern finance. Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum that provides a
- native solution for money, USDe, alongside a globally accessible dollar savings asset, s
USDe.

Our core mission is to provide truly
- native financial solutions that are globally accessible and bridge the gap between Trad
Fi and the digital asset economy. We believe in transparency, efficiency, and empowering both individuals and institutions with greater control over their assets.

What we are Doing:

Ethena Labs is actively building and deploying a suite of groundbreaking products designed to address key challenges and unlock new opportunities within the digital finance landscape.

Our flagship product, USDe, is a synthetic dollar backed by digital assets, and takes the novel approach of using a
- neutral hedging strategy to maintain its peg. This provides a truly scalable and
- resistant digital dollar.

Building upon USDe, we offer s
USDe. s
USDe provides
- native rewards generated from funding rates in derivatives markets, offering an alternative to existing products tethered to the traditional financial system.

Furthermore, we are actively developing solutions to facilitate institutional adoption of digital assets. In partnership with Securitize and Blackrocks BUIDL fund, USDtb provides a more traditional,
- backed stablecoin option, leveraging established financial infrastructure to appeal to institutional clients. Expanding on this, i
USDe is designed specifically for traditional financial institutions, incorporating necessary compliance features to enable them to access the
- native rewards our protocol generates, in an
- friendly manner.

Finally, our most ambitious undertaking to date is Converge, our joint blockchain initiative with Securitize. This hybrid blockchain is designed to be the nexus where De
Fi meets the needs of Ce
Fi and Trad
Fi. Converge aims to be a primary issuance layer for tokenised assets, integrating seamlessly with existing De
Fi protocols to provide institutions with an environment to participate in the decentralised economy.

Through these offerings, Ethena Labs is not just creating new financial products; we are building the foundational infrastructure for a more open, efficient, and interconnected global financial system.
