Reserve Rights RSR
Asset-basket governance and risk backing.
Reserve Rights is a token used in the Reserve ecosystem’s governance and risk-backing mechanisms. RSR is not a stablecoin.
What is Reserve Rights?
Reserve protocols support tokens backed by asset baskets, called decentralized token folios. RSR can be staked on yield-oriented folios to participate in governance and provide capital that absorbs certain collateral losses. Index-oriented folios use different vote-locking arrangements.
Staked RSR can be seized to absorb collateral losses. Asset-basket tokens can lose value or their intended peg, and contract or governance failures remain possible.
