# How to Mint USDp?

Following the launch of [Parallel V3](https://blog.parallel.best/parallel-v3-is-live-a-modular-scalable-and-decentralized-stablecoins-protocol) and the introduction of [USDp](https://blog.parallel.best/usdp-is-live-the-new-usd-stablecoin-of-parallel), the new modular USD stablecoin of the protocol, users can now mint and burn USDp natively through the Parallelizer Module, the system’s decentralized minting engine.

This guide walks through how the minting and burning mechanism works, what assets are accepted, and how the architecture ensures stability, transparency, and control by the DAO.

### **1\. What Is the Parallelizer?**

The Parallelizer Module is a Price Stability Module (PSM) that enables users to mint and burn USDp against a basket of accepted stablecoins. Instead of relying on CDPs or volatile collateral, it supports direct stablecoin-to-stablecoin swaps at oracle price, backed by on-chain data feeds and governed risk parameters.

In simple terms:

*   **Mint:** swap an accepted collateral → receive USDp 1:1 (minus mint fee, if any).
    
*   **Burn:** return USDp → redeem collateral from the reserve (minus burn fee, if any).
    

All minting and burning transactions are processed through audited contracts, with fees and limits fully controlled by the DAO.

### **2\. Accepted Collateral and Parameters**

The Parallelizer Module currently supports a selection of yield-generating and non-yield stablecoins across several chains. For each collateral, the DAO configures:

*   Oracle source
    
*   Exposure limits (min/max)
    
*   Stale period (data freshness)
    
*   Mint / Burn fees
    
*   Whitelisting requirement (if any)
    

On Ethereum, for example:

**Collateral**

**Oracle**

**Mint** **Fee**

**Burn Fee**

**Max Exposure**

frxUSD

Chainlink

0.00%

0.00%

100%

sfrxUSD

Chainlink

0.00%

0.05%

95%

USDe

Chainlink

0.00%

0.00%

100%

sUSDe

Chainlink

0.00%

0.05%

95%

These parameters vary by chain and asset. The DAO can update them at any time through governance to manage risk or adapt to market conditions.

### **3\. Minting USDp**

To mint USDp:

1.  Go to [app.parallel.best/mint](http://app.parallel.best/mint)
    
2.  Connect your wallet
    
3.  Select a chain and asset under “You Sell”
    
4.  Enter the amount
    
5.  Confirm and receive newly minted USDp in your wallet
    

Example:

*   Deposit 1,000 USDe → Receive 1,000 USDp

_Users can enable the “Mint Preferred” option to route transactions directly through Parallel’s minting contracts, ensuring mint/burn is executed natively without relying on aggregators._

### **4\. Burning USDp**

To burn USDp:

1.  Go to [app.parallel.best/mint](http://app.parallel.best/mint)
    
2.  Connect your wallet
    
3.  Input the amount of USDp you wish to sell.
    
4.  Select a chain and asset under “You Buy”.
    
5.  Receive the corresponding amount of the chosen asset.
    

Burns using the Parallelizer Module are available as long as the protocol has sufficient reserves of the selected collateral and exposure parameters are respected.

Example:

*   Burn 1,000 USDp → Receive 1,000 frxUSD
    

If a collateral reaches its maximum exposure limit, minting will be paused for that asset until capacity frees up. The same applies to minimum exposure in case of redemptions.

→ In addition to native minting and burning through the Parallelizer Module, users can also swap USDp via aggregators (example: Odos) directly on the Parallel front-end.

### **5\. Chains Where It’s Live**

The Parallelizer Module is currently deployed on:

*   **Ethereum**
    
*   **Base**
    
*   **Sonic**
    
*   **HyperEVM**
    

The accepted collaterals vary per chain but follow the same architecture and governance-controlled parameters.

You can mint USDp directly through the dApp here:  
[app.parallel.best/mint](http://app.parallel.best/mint)

As the protocol expands, this mechanism ensures stability, capital efficiency, and composability for USDp, while keeping minting/redemption flows transparent and automated.
