Can you verify Elixir deUSD (deUSD) reserves yourself?

Partly attestor-requiredSynthetic delta-neutralReserve leg: Partly on-chain

deUSD was sunset by Elixir in November 2025 after the Stream Finance collapse impaired its backing, and Elixir's own docs state the token holds no value and warn against buying it, so this page is a wind-down record, not a live comparison.

Sunset. Elixir announced the wind-down of deUSD on November 6, 2025 after Stream Finance, which had been lent about $68M (roughly 65% of the collateral, per contemporaneous reporting), disclosed a $93M loss and halted withdrawals. Elixir's own docs now state that deUSD holds no value, has been sunset, and should not be bought, including through AMMs. Historically the backing was a delta-neutral wstETH-versus-short-ETH-perps trade plus sUSDS collateral, shown on Elixir's own dashboard with no independent reserve attestor; the Stream lending exposure was an off-chain private arrangement.

What you cannot verify yourself: Everything about recovery: the 1:1 USDC holder claims and the separate roughly 80% pro-rata lender recovery are off-chain, snapshot-based settlement processes run by Elixir, with the lender track requiring a legal release.

Hedge leg: Historically a delta-neutral ETH funding trade on off-chain venues; by late 2025 a majority of the collateral had instead been lent to Stream Finance through private arrangements.

deUSD (Elixir) is not USDe (Ethena) and not USDD (Tron). The residual token trades at effectively zero; Elixir's docs explicitly warn against buying it.

Issued by Elixir. "Partly attestor-required" describes the structure of the verification, not the quality of the issuer.

Run this on deUSD yourself, or get a signed record of it.

The read below is free and live. Or get a machine-signed, point-in-time read of this exact address in about two minutes, that anyone you forward it to can verify in three lines without trusting you. Because deUSD is not trading or operating normally, a signed read documents its on-chain state at a point in time, useful for records, books, or recovery claims, not for a purchase decision.

Signed on the page after you pay in USDC on Base: no email, no wait. It signs public on-chain bytes only (supply, decimals, and symbol at a block), not a solvency opinion and not a claim about who controls the address. Issuing a dollar of your own? The GENIUS-readiness kit is $999 setup then $99 a month. Not compliance and not an audit.

Live supply, and the command that reproduces it

What this read establishes: That about 92.15M deUSD and 20.37M sdeUSD still exist on-chain (July 1, 2026 read) and that DEX liquidity is dust; there is no backing left to verify on-chain. Around 80% of holders had been redeemed at the sunset announcement, and remaining direct holders were snapshotted for 1:1 USDC claims.
