Forget ETH LSTs, LRTs, and lending ETH on Aave or other DeFi protocols.
There’s a new ETH exposure primitive in town and it’s built different.
Introducing dCDS: a new DeFi lego where users earned 20% yields last month, even with just $15k in Total Value Locked in the protocol.
Users who deposited 200 USDT in dCDS earned around $40 in a combination of USDA+ stablecoin and ETH gains within a single month.
Now, of-course these returns do come with risks. But what kind of risk?
The risk is that you are taking an exposure to ETH.
A risk most of us already want and are comfortable with. That's why over $93B sits in ETH-backed derivatives today. But here’s where it gets interesting…
The most calculated play for ETH right now
We’re retail. We don’t have infinite capital.
Some of us have $1k, some $5k, some $50k. Some of us chase yield farms and airdrops not just for passive income but for tokens. That’s the game.
Just look at Pump.fun. The biggest use case in crypto today? **Buying tokens.
**
Now, what if you can hold your desired tokens but still get an exposure to ETH price.
Well, that’s what dCDS enables. dCDS stands for decentralised Credit default swaps.
It is designed to be the most global and inclusive product ever which over time can accept any token or any stablecoin across any chain.
Here’s how it works:
-
Deposit the token or stablecoin of your choice (USDT, AERO, etc.)
-
Take exposure to ETH price
-
If your token goes up → you win
-
If ETH goes up → you win
-
If both go up → you win doubly
The best part
You earn high stablecoin premiums for it
Why? Because you’re passively acting as a virtual put option seller. For those unfamiliar with options, they're derivatives contracts that give buyers the right to lock in an asset's price for a future date.
For example, someone buying a put option on ETH with 1-month maturity secures the right to sell ETH at today’s price, even if ETH drops later.
If ETH goes up instead, they don’t use that right and the premium they paid goes to the put seller — that’s you. So, in the background, by depositing capital in dCDS, you act as the virtual put option seller. These premiums comes at intermittent times and keeps on coming whenever someone mints an Autonomint USDA+ stablecoin on the other side.
Even with small TVL, simulated yields show potential APYs > 200%.
We will be accepting tokens in dCDS as per demand and will be keeping ‘Caps’. Currently the tokens accepted will be capped at $100k and then will be scaled as per demand. We have started with accepting 2 tokens and 2 stablecoins so you can check those out.
The objective behind creating dCDS is to serve the retail user, the one most projects have overlooked.
While the rest of DeFi is busy catering to whales and institutions, building products for the already wealthy...
At Autonomint, we’re doing the opposite.
Our motto: **Retail First. Always.
