# Overview

Porto is the launchpad for **Liquid Yielding Assets (LYAs)** — yield-bearing digital assets backed by principal-protected Real-World Assets (RWAs) such as U.S. Treasuries, money markets, and other compliant strategies.

Our goal is to become the **all-in-one financial infrastructure** for routing idle capital into secure and productive yield opportunities. By combining onchain transparency with offchain safeguards, Porto creates a unified framework where individuals, corporations, and institutions can unlock yield from their capital seamlessly.

At the heart of Porto is **PortoUSD (PUSD)** — the first yield-bearing asset on the Pharos Network. PUSD maintains a stable $1 peg while accruing passive yield from a diversified portfolio of principal-protected assets, offering a secure foundation for both retail and institutional users.
