What is BlendPad

The core mechanic

1. You deposit USDG into a Blend.
2. The protocol buys each underlying asset in the Blend at live prices, in the proportions defined by the Blend's weights.
3. A single Blend token is minted to your wallet representing your share of that basket.
4. Redeeming burns your Blend token, unwinds the underlying positions, and returns USDG.

The problem it solves

Building a diversified onchain position manually means researching each asset, executing a separate swap for every one, paying fees on each, and then repeating the whole process whenever you want to exit. Weights drift, dust accumulates, and tracking cost basis across a dozen positions is tedious.

A Blend collapses that into one transaction and one token. Exposure to the whole basket is bought, held, and sold as a unit.

How it differs from holding assets individually

• One position, not many. Your portfolio shows a single token instead of ten line items.
• Automatic weight maintenance. A constant-weighted pool plus arbitrage keeps the basket near its target weights without you rebalancing.
• Transferable as a unit. A Blend token can be sent, traded, or used elsewhere as one asset.
• Shared, not custodial. Anyone can deposit into the same Blend; the creator does not hold or manage your funds.
