# Use Cases ## Stablecoin * **Payments & Transfers**: Users can send and receive money globally in a stable currency (eUSD, etc.) without being exposed to crypto volatility. * **Trading & Liquidity**: They can be used on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) as a stable trading pair or liquidity pool asset. * **Collateral in DeFi**: Stablecoins can serve as collateral in lending protocols, derivatives platforms, prediction markets, or yield farming strategies. ## Eden Ecosystem Fueling * **TIA Incentive Flywheel**: 90% of the yield generated by eUSD's backing assets is used to buy back TIA and distribute it as incentives across Eden. Every eUSD minted directly increases the flow of rewards to Eden participants, aligning stablecoin adoption with ecosystem growth. * **Bootstrapping Liquidity on Eden**: As the native stablecoin bridged to Eden via Hyperlane, eUSD serves as the base pair for DEXs, lending markets, and other DeFi primitives launching on the L2, giving early protocols a stable, liquid asset to build around from day one. * **Gas-Efficient Stable Asset on L2**: Minted on Ethereum for security, then bridged to Eden for usage. Users benefit from Ethereum-grade collateral backing while transacting at L2 cost and speed on Celestia's data availability layer.
