Understanding Protocol Stability

Mechanisms and Safeguards

The foundation of any stable asset system lies in its ability to maintain price equilibrium through sophisticated supply and demand management. Let's explore the intricate mechanisms that ensure this stability.

Core Stability Principles

The stability mechanism operates on a fundamental economic principle: price stability is achieved when supply and demand converge at the target price point. When this balance shifts, the protocol responds accordingly:

• Excess supply scenarios can lead to devaluation

• Supply deficits typically result in value appreciation above the intended peg

The Elastic Supply Mechanism

The protocol employs an innovative elastic coin supply rule that adapts to market conditions. This system carefully balances two critical objectives:

1. Market Liquidity: Enabling rapid response to demand fluctuations through supply adjustments

2. Reserve Protection: Implementing safeguards against oracle price manipulation

Risk Mitigation Strategy

The protocol employs a virtual automated market maker (vAMM) setup, distinguishing itself from traditional DEX models. This innovative approach eliminates the need for user-provided liquidity, instead utilizing sophisticated bucket systems that reset at predetermined intervals, typically every five minutes.
