About ABC Labs:
Reserve is a cryptocurrency project. We want money that doesn’t inflate like USD, but isn’t volatile like Bitcoin. We believe the global reserve currency should be an index of the world’s assets: stocks, bonds, gold, real estate, and more. That’s the ultimate purpose of the Reserve protocol, which lets anyone create a new currency backed 1:1 by a collection of tokenized assets.
ABC Labs contributes to the development of the Reserve protocol and helps to support and grow the Reserve ecosystem.

What We Do
Reserve’s mission is to Increase adoption of & expand access to sustainable, inflation proof, stable currency.
Reserve is a free, permissionless platform on Ethereum mainnet to build, deploy and govern asset-backed currencies referred to as “RTokens.” RTokens are always 1:1 asset-backed, allowing for permissionless minting and redeeming on-chain by users without the need for any middlemen. Overcollateralization is provided by RSR governance token stakers. Each RToken can have an entirely different governance system and is governed separately by ecosystem stakers. The Reserve Protocol launched on Ethereum mainnet in Oct 2022 and completed its fifth audit in Feb 2023.
The Reserve protocol enables the creation of a new kind of money that holds long term value better than fiat currency.
Imagine a stable universal currency as reliable as the sunrise. That’s what we’re aiming for.
