Binance has revealed that Reservoir (DAM), a new decentralized stablecoin protocol will be the next new token that will be launched on Binance Alpha. On August 18, Binance Alpha will be the first platform to list DAM, offering both spot and futures trading options.

This article explores the features of Reservoir, details of the Binance Alpha listing, and how to claim the $DAM airdrop.

What is Reservoir ($DAM)

Reservoir is a permissionless protocol based on the Ethereum blockchain aimed at the creation and management of stablecoins and yield-bearing assets. It provides cross-chain minting and redeeming premises to its stablecoin and yielding assets, rUSD and srUSD. 

Reservoir has a scalable and diversified asset collateralization that is backed by both virtual and physical assets and provides a highly effective yield as well as stability in the long term. Diversifying support via a basket of digital and real-world assets will enable Reservoir to minimize volatility and increase trust in the stability of the decentralized stablecoin.

The DAM is the native utility token that is essential to the ecosystem; it is used in governance, incentives, and access to protocol features. The DAM tokens can be utilized to access some functionalities of the Reservoir protocol, such as access to staking programs and access to future financial products and services in the ecosystem.
