About Cap
Cap is the stablecoin engine powering MegaETH's DeFi ecosystem. It issues cUSD (a synthetic dollar backed by a USDC/USDT basket) and stcUSD (a yield-bearing staked version). Yield is generated by institutional operators — HFT firms, banks, and market makers — who deploy the capital in off-chain strategies. Cap executed a $12M 'Stabledrop' airdrop on February 4, 2026, rewarding early users. The CAP governance token launched via a CCA (Continuous Collateral Auction) on Uniswap. The active Homestead program runs through July 23, 2026.
