The Reserve Protocol platform lets you invest in Decentralized Token Folios — onchain indexes backed 100% by real assets, redeemable any time, on Ethereum and Base.
You probably own a few tokens already. Managing ten, twenty, or thirty positions is a different story. Reserve Protocol's protocol collapses that complexity into a single token you can buy, hold, or sell in one transaction.
Every holding inside a DTF is visible on the blockchain right now. No black boxes, no quarterly reports — just open data, 24 hours a day.
Unlike a fund locked behind a custodian, you can redeem your DTF tokens for the underlying assets at any time, without asking anyone's permission.
Stake RSR on any DTF and collect a share of that DTF's management fees. The more assets flow in, the more you earn.
The protocol is permissionless. You can deploy a custom DTF in minutes — no legal entity, no broker-dealer license, no prior coding experience needed.
Open the Reserve Protocol app, connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet. No account needed.
Filter by chain — Ethereum, Base, or Binance Smart Chain — then sort by TVL, performance, or category. There are index DTFs, yield DTFs, and sector-specific folios.
Buy a DTF token directly via swap, or mint it by depositing the underlying assets. Both routes are non-custodial and settle onchain in seconds.
Hold RSR? Stake it on your chosen DTF to earn a slice of protocol revenue. Unstaking is always possible — no lock-ups by default.
Exit by swapping the DTF token back, or by redeeming it for the basket of underlying tokens directly from the protocol contract.
Get broad market exposure — top-20 coins, DeFi blue chips, L1 networks — in one token. The team behind Reserve Protocol calls them folios, not funds, because you always own the underlying.
These combine DeFi yield positions with overcollateralization. If any backing asset fails, a collateral buffer absorbs the loss before it reaches you.
The Reserve Protocol platform runs on Ethereum mainnet, Base (Coinbase's L2), and BSC. Base has become one of the most active deployment chains since 2024.
RSR holders vote on protocol upgrades, fee parameters, and collateral requirements. One token, one governance right. Straightforward.
Anyone can launch a DTF on the protocol — from a solo developer to a global financial institution. No whitelisting, no approval queue.
Multiple independent auditors have reviewed the codebase. Audit reports are public. You can read them yourself — links are in the protocol info page.
DTF creators earn management fees set at deployment time. Since launch, the protocol has distributed over $2M in estimated partner revenue.
These figures reflect current protocol activity — real data pulled from onchain sources, not projections.

A DTF, or Decentralized Token Folio, is an onchain index of crypto assets. You hold one token and get exposure to a whole basket — Bitcoin, ETH, DeFi tokens, and more. Think of it as an ETF, but running entirely on a blockchain, with no custodian involved.
Connect your wallet, browse the DTF list on the home page, pick one you like, and swap. The protocol handles everything else — no intermediary, no form to fill out.
The Reserve Protocol protocol has gone through multiple independent security audits, and the reports are publicly available. Every DTF is 100% backed by onchain assets you can verify at any time using a block explorer. That said, DeFi always carries smart contract risk — read the docs before investing large amounts.
RSR is the governance and staking token of the Reserve Protocol protocol. RSR stakers earn a share of protocol fees generated by the DTFs they stake on. They also vote on protocol-level decisions, from fee changes to collateral policies.
Yes. The Reserve Protocol platform is fully permissionless. Anyone — economist, DeFi entrepreneur, or curious builder — can deploy a DTF without writing a single line of code. The deploy wizard walks you through asset selection, fee settings, and governance configuration step by step.
Reserve Protocol DTFs run on Ethereum, Base, and Binance Smart Chain. Base is particularly active — dozens of index and yield DTFs have already been deployed there, taking advantage of its low fees and fast finality.
Staking RSR on a DTF earns you a portion of that DTF's ongoing revenue. The more assets flow into the DTF, the larger the fee pool — and the more RSR stakers collect. It is one of the more direct yield mechanisms in the DeFi space because the revenue is protocol-native, not printed from inflation.
Traditional index funds rely on custodians, settlement delays, and business-hours redemptions. Reserve Protocol DTFs live entirely onchain — every holding is visible, redeemable 24/7, and governed by code rather than a fund manager. You do not need to trust Reserve Protocol or ABC Labs; you can verify everything yourself on any block explorer.
