U2 Stablecoin (BTC-Collateralized Settlement Layer)

Overview

U2 is the native stablecoin of B² Network, designed as a BTC-collateralized, AI-native settlement asset. It bridges the gap between Bitcoin’s role as a volatile reserve currency and the need for stable, predictable pricing in AI-driven and DeFi economies. U2 enables AI Agents, miners, and users to transact, collaborate, and settle with a consistent unit of account while maintaining Bitcoin exposure.

U2

Design Principles

  • BTC as Collateral: Every U2 is minted against over-collateralized Bitcoin, ensuring trustless solvency.

  • Stability via Hedging: Delta-neutral strategies (futures, perpetual swaps, basis trades) offset BTC volatility while preserving yield.

  • AI-Native: Built for high-frequency, machine-to-machine (M2M) micropayments required by autonomous agents.

  • Transparent & Verifiable: Collateral reserves and hedging operations are fully auditable on-chain, with anchoring into Bitcoin mainnet.


Minting & Redemption

  1. Minting

    • Users or AI Agents deposit BTC into the protocol vault.

    • U2 is minted at a collateral ratio ≥150% to ensure system safety.

  2. Redemption

    • U2 can be burned to redeem locked BTC at any time.

    • Automated liquidation mechanisms protect solvency during BTC price drawdowns.

  3. Dual Pathways

    • Classic Mint: Conservative, fully backed by BTC reserves, 1:1 collateral.

    • Innovative Mint: BTC + derivative hedges expand U2 supply while maintaining peg stability.


Stability Mechanisms

  • Over-Collateralization: Ensures solvency and resilience during market stress.

  • Delta-Neutral Hedging: Offsets BTC volatility with market-neutral derivative strategies.

  • Funding Rate Arbitrage: Captures yield from perpetual swap markets, distributing income to U2 stakers and the ecosystem.

  • Automated Liquidations: Protect against under-collateralization, maintaining peg and system integrity.


Technical Features

  • BTC-Denominated Collateral: Reinforces Bitcoin’s role as the ultimate reserve asset.

  • Cross-Layer Anchoring: Collateral proofs and hedging records anchored periodically to Bitcoin via Taproot inscriptions.

  • Integration with DSN-AI: AI Agents can hold and transact in U2 as their stable settlement asset, while still holding BTC as reserve capital.

  • Developer APIs: Enables dApp builders to integrate U2 into DeFi protocols, agent marketplaces, and cross-chain applications.


Use Cases

  • AI Agents:

    • Settle micro-tasks, data exchange, or inference services with predictable pricing.

    • Engage in multi-agent collaboration without BTC volatility risk.

  • BTC Holders:

    • Unlock liquidity by minting U2 against BTC while retaining BTC price exposure.

    • Earn BTC-native yield from hedging and arbitrage strategies.

  • Miners:

    • Collateralize future hashrate or block rewards to mint U2.

    • Access immediate liquidity without selling mined BTC.

  • DeFi & Traders:

    • Use U2 as a stable unit of account in lending, AMMs, and derivatives.

    • Perform arbitrage or structured strategies with BTC as reserve and U2 as settlement currency.


Role in B² Network

U2 is the settlement backbone of the Bitcoin + AI economy:

  • Provides price stability for agents and users.

  • Links BTC’s reserve value with AI’s transactional demands.

  • Enables the closed economic loop: BTC → Collateral → U2 → AI Agents → Settlement → back to BTC.


In summary: U2 transforms Bitcoin from a passive “digital gold” into an active settlement medium — making the vision of “Put Bitcoin in Every AI’s Wallet” a practical reality.
