About ABC Labs:

Reserve is a cryptocurrency project, patiently leading the asset-backed currency revolution. ABC Labs built Reserve to let anyone launch, mint, and redeem onchain crypto indexes called Decentralized Token Folios (DTFs) with battle-tested, safety-first smart contracts. Get broad crypto exposure, earn easy DeFi yield, or create the next world reserve currency. 13.5% of equities are in indexes and only 0.03% of crypto is in indexes... we expect those numbers to converge and for the DTF space to grow exponentially in coming year and Reserve is leading the DTF charge.

As more real world assets are tokenized, we believe the protocol will enable new asset-backed currencies that are mostly or fully independent of fiat money. You can learn more about the vision and the Reserve team here.

ABC Labs contributes to the development of the Reserve protocol and helps to support and grow the Reserve ecosystem.
