Azos is a decentralized stablecoin protocol deployed on the Optimism network. It uses collateralized debt positions (CDPs) where users deposit collateral assets such as BCT, FGB, and REI to mint ZAI, a USD-pegged stablecoin. The protocol incorporates algorithmic market operations (AMO) through a Stability Module and Keeper to automatically adjust supply and maintain price stability. The protocol also includes a governance token for voting on system parameters.

About Azos

Azos Finance (azos.finance) advanced its regenerative stablecoin model during Mar–Sep 2026. Key milestones: DIA partnership delivered custom, auditable price feeds for impact assets (KLIMA, CELO) on Base, enabling reliable minting of AZUSD against green collateral. The protocol refined its overcollateralized vault design, emphasizing low-volatility pools of green bonds, tokenized carbon credits, and sustainable commodities. Official roadmap focuses on: (1) expanding supported collateral types via DIA’s open-source oracles, (2) strengthening peg stability through layered reserves (60–80% stable/short-duration T-bills, 20–40% green RWAs) plus circuit breakers and an on-chain stability fund, (3) seeding arbitrage liquidity on Aerodrome/Uniswap, and (4) transitioning governance to AZOS token holders with community veto power. No mainnet launch or major user growth was confirmed in the period.
