🪙 About Usual
Usual was born from a simple observation: dominant stablecoins operate like centralized banks — they capture bilions of revenue and don’t redistribute it. In parallel, most crypto tokenomics have failed to deliver long-term fairness, favoring insiders over users.
We’re here to change that.
Usual is the first stablecoin protocol that gives back the ownership and the value to its users. By turning users into stakeholders, we’re pioneering a new, more equitable financial infrastructure — one where value flows back to the community.
In just a few months, we built and launched a full protocol from scratch, introduced a new kind of stablecoin backed by tokenized US Treasuries (USD0), its yield-bearing counterpart (USD0++), and a revenue-sharing governance token ($USUAL).
The protocol quickly reached $1.8B in TVL before stabilizing around $800M during a period of major product and governance upgrades.
We’re a small, highly committed team of DeFi natives with a strong execution track record and a deep ambition to reshape how value circulates in crypto.
Joining Usual means working at the frontier of decentralized finance, owning your scope, moving fast, and collaborating with some of the best minds in the space.
✨ The Role
We’re looking for a Frontend UI Developer with a love for pixel-perfect integration, seamless motion, and high-performance interfaces.
You’ll be the go-to person for design implementation—working hand-in-hand with our other frontend dev (who handles data, logic, and smart contract interactions) and our product designer (Figma is the single source of truth).
Your work will make or break the user experience of the Usual dApp. We want someone who treats design like a craft, can bring mockups to life exactly as imagined (or even better), and understands that motion isn’t just decoration—it’s usability.

- Figma Dev Mode (design-to-code handoff)
- Framer Motion (for animations)

👀 What You’ll Do
- Take fully designed Figma components and implement them flawlessly in code.
- Collaborate with the frontend logic/dev lead to integrate components into the dApp.
- Push for motion-rich, polished interfaces that feel both delightful and efficient.
