tUSCPI
U.S. Consumer Price Index
tUSCPI is a synthetic that tracks the latest print of the U.S. Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U): the headline measure of U.S. inflation and cost of living. It turns "the cost of living" into a tradable token you can hedge against or take a view on.

Why trade it
Almost every portfolio has inflation risk and almost no direct way to manage it on-chain. tUSCPI is a clean instrument for that, hold it as an inflation hedge, or trade the surprise around each monthly release.
Mint it against approved collateral, or buy it on the market. See Getting started and the Risks.
