Era Zero has started. Founding phase. Eight weeks. The founding participants establish the protocol's initial liquidity base and governance council ahead of public launch. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, based on verifiable on-chain activity. The Dera Protocol is a permissionless yield infrastructure layer for digital assets. The Dera Engine allocates capital across governance-approved DeFi integrations and compounds returns into the on-chain exchange rate of protocol-issued assets. DERA is the first product on this infrastructure. Yield-bearing, backed by USDC. On Ethereum mainnet since July 2025. 290 days of live operation. Core contracts audited by Hacken, with subsequent additions including the Safety Escrow and documented in the technical documentation. Every allocation, rebalance, mint, and redemption is recorded on-chain. The exchange rate is computed directly from on-chain values at the time of each mint or redemption. Era Zero is invite only.
