BCH BASED STABLECOIN COMES TO LIFE

Moria is a new Bitcoin Cash (BCH)-based stablecoin protocol, created by Riften Labs, that allows users to borrow tokens representing real-world assets, such as USD, gold, and stocks, by locking in BCH as collateral. With a focus on transparency and security, Moria uses an oracle-based system through the D3lphi oracle to ensure accurate price feeds and maintains a 100% transparent Proof-of-Reserves system. The protocol incentivizes stable value through a floating peg mechanism, while flexible repayments allow anyone to clear a borrower’s debt if collateral becomes insufficient.
