# Xeus Finance Whitepaper ## What is XEUS? Xeus Finance is a decentralized finance reserve currency protocol built on Binance Smart Chain (BSC). The protocol is powered by the $XEUS token, which is backed by a basket of assets like BUSD, LPs, etc. Xeus introduces unique economic and game-theoretic dynamics into the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) market through bonding and staking ## What is the aim of XEUS? XEUS aims to become the de-facto reserve currency of the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), one which is truly owned and maintained by a decentralised protocol which serves the majority. Our goal is for $XEUS to be a common trading pair which is backed by real assets. ## How can I benefit from XEUS? The main benefit for stakers comes from supply growth. The protocol mints new XEUS tokens from the treasury, the majority of which are distributed to the stakers. Thus, the gain for stakers will come from their auto-compounding balances, though price exposure remains an important consideration. That is, if the increase in token balance outpaces the potential drop in price (due to inflation), stakers would make a profit. The main benefit for minters comes from price consistency. Minters commit a capital upfront and are promised a fixed return at a set point in time; that return is given in XEUS tokens and thus the minter's profit would depend on XEUS price when the minted XEUS matures. Taking this into consideration, minters benefit from a rising or static price for the XEUS token! ## Who created XEUS? Xeus is a fork of Olympus. Our team is mostly anonymous. We aim at becoming a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). ## Who runs XEUS? Currently most of the decisions are taken by the developer team, but we expect to be able to turn this into a DAO-governed model as soon as possible! --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
