What is an OXA (Stable Credit Tokens) and how you can mint one?

What is OXA stable credit tokens?

OXA Stable Credit Tokens are a type of digital asset that are based on the ERC 20 token standard. This standard is a set of rules and guidelines for creating fungible tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. Fungible tokens are interchangeable and have the same value, making them ideal for use as cryptocurrencies or utility tokens. The ERC 20 standard provides a framework for developers to create tokens with a standardized set of functions and features, ensuring that they can be easily integrated into various applications and platforms. By being built on this standard, OXA Tokens benefit from the security and interoperability of the Ethereum blockchain and can be used in a wide range of use cases, such as payments, trading, and access to DeFi.

‍‍How can you mint one

OXA is a stable credit token with a net asset value (NAV) of $1.00 per token maintained by OpenEXA. Similar to a money market fund, it is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NY-DFS). This means investors can trade OXA on OpenEXA's KYC-ed market at any time and subsequently at wider external markets, and they will receive a fixed and consistent price per token, OXA brings a unit of account. On the other hand, AUT is an asset unique token that functions similarly to an NFT, representing the title (property rights) of the underlying asset (RWA), which is a short-term, low-risk debt security, such as Treasury bills, AA/AAA bonds, commercial paper, or certificates of deposit.

AUT and OXA are an excellent on-chain medium for the exchange of assets and a store of value. An On-chain stable credit and collateral tokens provide efficient, low-cost transactions and enable lightning-fast trading of tokenized assets. OXA is a stable credit token with a net asset value (NAV) of $1.00 per token backed by AUT. The tokens serve as digital representations of the underlying assets and are typically issued on a blockchain platform.

Here are some general steps involved in minting and burning of OXA's:

1. Ethereum, which powers OpenEXA, is the most decentralized blockchain outside of bitcoin. OpenEXA lets fund managers mint OXA - Funds can borrow OXA credit tokens by opening OpenEXA collateral vaults.
2. Determine the value of your AUTs: Use OpenEXA's valuation engine to accurately determine the value of your Asset Unique Tokens (AUTs) based on real-time market data and asset composition.
3. Meet Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements: Depending on the jurisdiction in which the assets are held and compliance regulations, you may be required to complete a KYC process. This typically involves providing identification documents to verify your identity and eligibility.
4. Acquire OXA Credit Tokens: Funds deposit their AUT to borrow OXA via the OpenEXA dashboard. These loans are always overcollateralized with AUT (digital assets). To mint or own Stable Credit Tokens, you will likely need AUT or a cryptocurrency that is accepted by OpenEXA.  Commonly accepted cryptocurrencies include bitcoin (BTC), ethereum (ETH), and a few fiat-backed stablecoins.
5. Minting OXA: A fund manager's request for an OXA loan generates a smart contract - a vault. It holds the collateral in escrow until the borrowed amount is returned. In the meantime, the user receives OXA.
6. Swap on the liquidity pools: AUT or cryptocurrencies can then be swapped for OXA on the KYC-ed internal marketplace, as well as on various external marketplaces, exchanges and liquidity pools.
7. Once the fund repays an OXA loan, the system releases the collateral back to its wallet. Meanwhile, the returned OXA tokens are dissolved or burned.
8. Secure and manage your tokens: Once the token exchange is complete, you should receive the OXA in your wallet. Make sure you have a secure wallet that can store the specific type of token. Follow wallet security best practices, such as using hardware wallets or secure software wallets, and keep your private keys or recovery phrases safe.
