Backing per VSPR

Backing per $VSPR is one of the primary metrics of VESPER. Instead of displaying reserve value in isolation, VESPER measures that value against the relevant VSPR supply.

Calculation

Backing per VSPR = Total Reserve Value / Relevant VSPR Supply

Total reserve value, USDVSPR supply

Reserve

Supply at $1

The bright end of the reserve bar is what the reserve holds beyond one dollar per VSPR. Backing is an accounting metric, not a price floor.

If reserve value increases to $2,500,000 while supply remains unchanged, backing per VSPR becomes $2.50.

Why It Matters

Backing asks: How much protocol-owned reserve value exists relative to the token supply? This gives users a direct way to observe changes in the VESPER balance sheet.

WARNING

Backing per $VSPR is an accounting metric. It does not represent a guaranteed market price, guaranteed price floor or automatic redemption value.

The interface is intended to expose reserve value, reserve composition, VSPR supply, backing per VSPR and valuation timestamps.
