$BOLD and $fxUSD both are truly decentralized stables, they always have overcollateralized backing and both have held their peg through some wild market moves.
Truly decentralized, permissionless and transparent on chain
Anyone can mint $BOLD , $fxUSD and redeem for a dollar on-chain. No middle man that can charge your fees or block your stable.
Here's what makes them different:
$BOLD by
@LiquityProtocol
Backed by ETH, wstETH, rETH , that's it
No governance keys
No admin functions
No RWA exposure
Immutable contracts
You can redeem for $1 of collateral anytime
$fxUSD by
@protocol_fx
Backed by wstETH and WBTC
Stability Pool auto-arbitrages via
@CurveFinance
4 layers of peg protection
0.9995 average peg over a full year
no multisigs
The collateral behind these stables is volatile. ETH moves. BTC moves.
But the peg doesn't.
BOLD uses overcollateralized CDPs with direct on-chain redemption.
fxUSD uses a Stability Pool + circuit breakers + funding fees + redemptions as a last resort.

Check
@PharosWatch , they track 250+ stablecoins with real safety scores, peg data, governance models, and risk profiles.
$BOLD is currently the highest-rated DeFi stablecoin on there.
If you want stables that are actually decentralized and backed, these two are worth understanding
