Alchemix is a DeFi protocol that allows users to create synthetic tokens representing the future earnings of their deposits. By depositing assets like DAI, users can mint alUSD, a synthetic stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This protocol enables users to unlock the liquidity of their deposits while earning yields on the underlying assets through Yearn vaults. The alUSD can be used for various DeFi activities or redeemed for the original deposit plus any accrued earnings.
