DEADBOX is a multi-chain Web3 ecosystem of three interlocking tokens — $DEAD (deflationary), $uDEAD (dividend-paying), and $USDeAD (ETH-backed stablecoin) — where all fee revenue flows to the community instead of a company treasury. Live on 7 EVM chains: Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Scroll, and MegaETH. USDeAD additionally bridges to Monad, HyperEVM, Solana, and Tron.

$DEAD is a deflationary ERC-20 token with a fixed hard cap of 1 billion. No new tokens can ever be minted; supply only decreases through two on-chain burn sinks: minting $uDEAD (permanently burns $DEAD at a 2:1 ratio) and Grave Digging (burns 40% of reclaimed tokens from long-inactive wallets). $DEAD uses LayerZero OFT for cross-chain transfers.

How do $uDEAD dividends work?

$uDEAD is minted by permanently burning $DEAD at a 2:1 ratio (burn 2 $DEAD to mint 1 $uDEAD). Holders receive automatic ETH dividends streamed directly to their wallets from ecosystem revenue — trading fees, USDeAD vault exit fees (50% of the 1% exit fee), and USDeAD liquidation surpluses. No staking, no claiming — dividends stream automatically. Because total $uDEAD supply can only shrink, your share percentage grows over time.

What is USDeAD and how is it backed?

USDeAD is an over-collateralized ETH-backed decentralized stablecoin. It is minted by depositing WETH, wstETH, or rETH into a vault. The recommended collateral ratio is 200%; vaults below the 115% liquidation threshold become liquidatable by any user (permissionless, no grace period). The protocol charges 0% interest — only a one-time 1% exit fee, 50% of which streams to $uDEAD holders and 50% to the treasury.

What is the Deaderal Reserve Protocol?

The Deaderal Reserve Protocol (DRP) is the open, Liquity-inspired CDP protocol behind USDeAD. It consists of two core contracts: the DeaderalReserveProtocol contract (manages vaults, deposits, mints, repayments, and the liquidation lifecycle) and the Stability Pool (absorbs liquidated debt and distributes collateral gains to USDeAD depositors).

On which chains is DEADBOX available?

DEADBOX is live on 7 EVM chains: Base (primary), Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Scroll, and MegaETH. Cross-chain $DEAD / $uDEAD transfers use LayerZero OFT. USDeAD vault operations are live on Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Scroll, and MegaETH (in public beta); USDeAD itself additionally bridges as a non-lending token to BNB Chain, Monad, HyperEVM, Solana, and Tron.

How is the USDeAD liquidation surplus distributed?

When a USDeAD vault is liquidated with surplus collateral above the debt, the surplus is split: 50% to Stability Pool depositors as extra yield, 24% to the Vault Distributor, 12% to the treasury, 12% to $uDEAD holders, and approximately 2% to the liquidator (watchdog) as an incentive.

How to Bridge Tokens

Move your $DEAD or $uDEAD tokens across chains using the built-in LayerZero bridge.

4 min readGuides

The DeadBox ecosystem operates across 7 chains: Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Scroll, and MegaETH. The built-in bridge powered by LayerZero lets you move your $DEAD or $uDEAD tokens between any of these chains quickly and securely.

Go to the bridge section on dead.box/dead (for $DEAD) or dead.box/udead (for $uDEAD). Make sure your wallet is connected.
Select your source chain (the chain your tokens are currently on) and your destination chain (where you want to send them).
Enter the amount of tokens you want to bridge. The interface will show you the estimated gas fee for the transaction.
Review the details carefully, then click "Bridge" and confirm the transaction in MetaMask. The transfer typically takes 1 to 3 minutes to complete.

The bridge uses LayerZero's omnichain messaging protocol, one of the most battle-tested cross-chain solutions in DeFi. Your tokens are burned on the source chain and minted on the destination chain, ensuring there are never duplicate tokens across chains. Bridging $DEAD also resets your Grave Digging inactivity timer.
