# Stablecoin Issuance

> Launch fiat-backed stablecoins with Brale handling mint, burn, custody, settlement, reserves, and reporting.

## Overview

Brale issues fiat-backed stablecoins for businesses that want programmable dollars without running their own banking or blockchain stack. You set the program rules; Brale handles mint/burn, custody, settlement, reserves, and reporting.

## Who it’s for

* Fintechs, marketplaces, wallets, banks, credit unions, and payment platforms that want branded or white-label dollars.
* Issuers that need multi-chain support, 1:1 reserves, and compliance controls
* Teams that want APIs first, with dashboards for operations and reconciliation

## How it works

1. **Onboard & scope**: Complete KYB and choose issuance scope (mainnet/testnet), supported rails, and branding.
2. **Create managed accounts**: Represent your customers or programs; Brale provides custodial addresses on supported chains.
3. **Fund & mint**: Move fiat in (ACH/wire/RTP) to mint branded stablecoins (e.g., `SBC`, `USDGLO`) to custodial addresses.
4. **Circulate**: Transfer on-chain or off-chain; configure automations for deposits and payouts.
5. **Redeem & burn**: Burn to settle redemptions back to fiat rails.
6. **Monitor**: Use balances, transfers, and webhooks for reconciliation; view reserves and status in-dashboard.

## Guarantees & controls

* **1:1 reserves** for issued supply; transparent reserve visibility.
* **KSUID identifiers** (`account_id`, `address_id`, `automation_id`) for traceability.
* **Idempotency everywhere** on POSTs to prevent duplicate mint/burn flows.
* **Per-chain custody**: internal custodial addresses per chain; external addresses registered per chain/rail.
* **Branding**: optional statement branding for ACH payouts.

## Key building blocks

* **Transfers**: mint (fiat → stablecoin), redeem (stablecoin → fiat), and move value across rails.
* **Addresses**: custodial (internal) for issued tokens; external for counterparties.
* **Automations**: virtual accounts that route deposits to the right token/chain.
* **Value types**: canonical token identifiers (see [Value Types](/coverage/value-types)); case-sensitive.
