# Lydia Coins - Core Context for LLMs

## Overview
Lydia Coins is a dual-token blockchain ecosystem designed for institutional finance, global trade settlement, and inheritance. Named after the ancient Kingdom of Lydia (where money was invented), the ecosystem bridges traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi).

## Key Tokens
1. **USAD (Lydia USD)**: A USD-pegged stablecoin classified as an E-Money Token (MiCA compliant). It is 100% backed by Real World Assets (RWA) including US government bonds, treasury bills, certified gemstones, and USD cash deposits held in US-regulated banks. USAD maintains a strictly enforced 116% reserve coverage against maximum issuance. It is deployed natively across Lydia Chain (L3), Base (Coinbase L2), and Solana.
2. **BSW (Buy-Sell-Win)**: The utility and investment token of the ecosystem with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. It offers yield through a Forex-based structure with principal-protected and high-growth investment options.
