# Reserve Protocol

> A permissionless protocol for creating and managing RTokens: asset-backed, yield-bearing, and overcollateralized stablecoins.

## Essential Resources
- [Official Website](https://reserve.org) - Overview of the Reserve ecosystem.
- [Protocol App](https://app.reserve.org) - The primary interface for minting RTokens, staking RSR, and exploring the ecosystem.
- [Technical Documentation](https://docs.reserve.org) - Comprehensive guide to protocol mechanics and development.
- [Governance Forum](https://forum.reserve.org) - Discussion for protocol upgrades and RToken configurations.

## Core Concepts for AI Agents
- **RTokens**: Stablecoins backed by a basket of ERC-20 collateral. Each RToken has its own mandate and collateral plugins.
- **RSR (Reserve Rights)**: The utility and governance token. RSR holders stake on specific RTokens to provide a backstop (overcollateralization) in exchange for a share of that RToken's revenue.
- **Collateral Plugins**: Modular adapters that allow the protocol to wrap and interface with DeFi assets (e.g., Aave, Compound, Morpho).
- **Backstop Mechanism**: In the event of a collateral default, staked RSR is seized and auctioned to keep the RToken fully collateralized.
