Custody and safekeeping for stablecoin reserves and deposit assets, built around segregation, controls, and independent verification — and integrated today with the institutional custodians your counterparties already use.
Custody is where most stablecoin stories fall apart — and where Stellus is deliberately conservative. Reserve assets backing ozUSD and the deposits behind OZD are held under segregation arrangements designed so that customer assets are never commingled with operating funds and never lent against. Where counterparties prefer to hold or move value through their own institutional custodian, Stellus is integrated with the leading platforms today.
Stellus is live with the qualified custodians and prime infrastructure that regulated counterparties already use to hold and move digital assets.
Stellus is integrated with FalconX for institutional execution, OTC settlement, and credit on ozUSD and OZD — so regulated dollars move through the prime-broker rails counterparties already trust.
Direct ozUSD and OZD support through Fireblocks' MPC-based custody and transfer platform — policy controls, role separation, and audit trails preserved end-to-end across the Fireblocks network.
Reserves and qualified custody supported under Anchorage's OCC-chartered digital asset bank — bank-grade oversight on every dollar of regulated value moving through the platform.
Status: live in production. Specific operational scope confirmed under NDA during onboarding.
Reserve and deposit assets are held separately from Stellus operating accounts.
Reserves are held in cash and short-dated U.S. Treasuries with qualified custodian and banking partners.
Cryptographic keys are managed under HSM-backed and MPC controls with role separation and audited access.
Holdings are reconciled and reported, and examined by an independent firm. See Attestations.
Most cross-chain "wrapped" assets are locked-and-wrapped: the original token sits in a bridge contract while a synthetic copy circulates on the destination chain. That pattern concentrates value in a small number of bridge contracts — and bridge contracts have been the largest category of loss in on-chain history.
Stellus uses burn-and-mint instead. The token on the source chain is destroyed and an identical token is minted on the destination — one canonical asset, no bridge honeypot, no synthetic copy to depeg.
Original locked in a bridge contract; a synthetic copy circulates elsewhere. Bridge becomes a single point of failure.
Token destroyed on source, minted on destination. One canonical asset across chains; no bridge contract to compromise.
Cross-chain transfers are abstracted behind a single intent layer — builders integrate one API across supported networks, not one per bridge.
