About JUST

JUST aims to build a fair and decentralized financial ecosystem that provides stable coin lending and governance mechanisms for users around the world. All transactions, collateralization, and governance are transparent and executed on-chain. JUST is built on the TRON Network, the largest decentralized application ecosystem, and aims to provide a set of easy-to-use and transparent financial services for users worldwide.

Any user can mint USDJ automatically via JUST’s ecosystem of smart contracts by locking their TRX in collateralized debt positions (CDP) in the form of pooled TRX (PTRX). To mitigate against price fluctuation risks, over-collateralization of PTRX is required. The over-collateralization ratio is currently set at 150% and can be changed by a vote of the community. If the value of the collateral falls below the predetermined liquidation ratio, the collateral is sold to pay off the debt, and an additional liquidation penalty (currently 13%) is charged.

JST is the governance token for the JUST network. By participating and voting in community proposals, JST holders have decision-making power over the JUST lending platform and can control the operations of the JUST network. In addition, JST can be used to pay interest on a CDP, in which case the paid JST will be burnt automatically by the smart contract.
