Startale Group, the team behind the Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain Soneium and Astar Network, has officially launched Startale USD (USDSC), a new fully collateralized stablecoin designed exclusively for the Soneium ecosystem.

USDSC is powered by M0’s universal stablecoin infrastructure and is backed 1:1 by short-term U.S. Treasury bonds, ensuring capital preservation and a reliable peg to the U.S. dollar even in volatile market conditions.

Unlike traditional stablecoins, USDSC is deeply integrated into the Startale’s consumer-facing Startale App, where users can instantly buy, redeem, hold, and spend the stablecoin with near-zero friction. The launch also introduces STAR Points, an on-app loyalty and rewards system that incentivizes holding USDSC and participating in daily missions.

Key features of USDSC and the accompanying rewards program include:

• Instant on/off-ramping directly inside the Startale App
• Gas credits for free transactions on Soneium
• Boosted STAR Points for holding USDSC
• Priority access to future token launches and exclusive ecosystem perks

Soneium, an Ethereum L2 built with OP Stack and connected to the Superchain, positions USDSC as the native stable asset for payments, DeFi, gaming, and real-world use cases within its fast-growing network.

The stablecoin is currently available in closed beta, with priority access granted through M0’s waitlist application form.
