Solid under the hood
Solid is built on modern Ethereum infrastructure and the Fuse ecosystem, combining:
ERC-4626 vaults
Safe smart accounts
MPC key management
Gasless transactions (paymaster)
Users interact with a simple interface — the complexity stays under the hood.
Solid Protocol Architecture
At a high level:
Users deposit USDC/USDT
It is converted into soUSD
soUSD is deposited into yield strategies
Yield accrues continuously
Users can withdraw or spend at any time
All assets remain non-custodial.
How soUSD works
soUSD is an ERC-4626-compatible yield token.
Instead of your balance increasing in “tokens,” the value of each soUSD increases over time, reflecting earned yield.
This makes soUSD:
Simple to track
Efficient for spending
Compatible with DeFi standards
How soUSD generates yield
soUSD earns yield through curated, conservative DeFi strategies, such as:
Lending markets
Liquid yield vaults
Risk-managed stablecoin strategies
Strategies are selected for capital efficiency, liquidity, and security — not maximum APY at all costs.
Enterprise-grade asset protection
Solid uses:
Segregated smart contracts
Audited vaults
Strict permissioning for strategy execution
No single party can unilaterally move user funds.
Solid’s security architecture
Solid combines:
Safe smart accounts (battle-tested)
MPC key management
Gas abstraction
This provides security similar to enterprise custody — without giving up user ownership.
Transparency & Contract Addresses
All core contracts are:
Public
Verifiable on-chain
Documented for developers
→ See Contract Addresses (Developers section)
Risk Disclosure
Solid is built to minimize risk, but all DeFi carries risk, including:
Smart contract risk
Strategy risk
Liquidity risk
Solid does not guarantee profits or principal.
Security & Audits
Solid works with reputable auditors and infrastructure partners.
Audits and updates are published transparently.
How Solid invests safely
Solid prioritizes:
Capital preservation
Strategy diversification
Liquidity
Conservative parameters
High-risk or experimental strategies are intentionally avoided.
