How Reserve compares
Frequently asked questions
Which themes do its token baskets cover?+
The range includes photonics, AI infrastructure, capacity and neocloud, power and robotics baskets. Each basket tracks public US listed companies linked to AI demand and is weighted by market capitalisation. Each basket is rebalanced on a quarterly cycle.
Where is Reserve available?+
Reserve describes its reach as global across more than 190 countries. It also describes activity across the USA, Latin America, Africa and Asia. The offer is framed as permissionless onchain infrastructure rather than a single country service.

A DTF groups selected companies into one token that represents the whole basket. Users can mint and redeem the token while governance oversees composition and rebalancing. RSR functions as the governance and utility token for the protocol.
