The Neutrino Index operates as a decentralized financial (DeFi) platform built on the Waves blockchain. It changed the name of its index token from USDN to XTN. The ecosystem features two native tokens: XTN and NSBT.
XTN is an algorithmic, crypto-collateralized indexcoin supported by three tokens from the Waves Ecosystem: WAVES, WX, and VIRES. Its primary role is to drive user engagement within Neutrino by rewarding individuals who supply liquidity to the system.
The second token, NSBT (Neutrino System Base Token), serves governance functions. It enables users to vote on the future direction of the Neutrino protocol and helps maintain the stability of collateral reserves in Neutrino’s smart contract.
New NSBT tokens are created when a user locks WAVES tokens into a contract. This action provides extra backing and protects the system against deficits. Holders can stake their tokens to earn a share of the fees generated from WAVES to XTN swaps.
