# THE USDN Protocol

- [Protocol USDN Overview](https://docs.smardex.io/ultimate-synthetic-delta-neutral/the-usdn-protocol/protocol-usdn-overview.md)
- [Simplified Examples](https://docs.smardex.io/ultimate-synthetic-delta-neutral/the-usdn-protocol/protocol-usdn-overview/simplified-examples.md): We will demonstrate through simplified examples how the price of the USDN token can remain stable even if the price of the underlying asset rises or falls. This is the delta-neutral strategy.
