Tron founder Justin Solar is making the case for why Decentralized USD (USDD) is completely different than Terra’s failed decentralized UST stablecoin.
In an interview with CoinGecko, Solar says that USDD, Tron’s algorithmic stablecoin, is a hybrid that makes use of the perfect features of each USD-pegged asset available on the market.
“I’ll say I believe USDD is a hybrid mannequin of DAI, UST, and different stablecoins. So principally we studied all of the algorithms within the decentralized stablecoin markets. After which we principally took benefit of all of the stablecoins right here and made the higher decisions for the merchants out there.
I believe to start with, the drawback of Ethereum and the Bitcoin blockchain is Ethereum and the Bitcoin blockchain, they don’t have native stablecoins, so I believe for Bitcoin, as a result of it’s not a sensible contract platform, however Ethereum… Despite the fact that we have now DAI, principally I believe DAI is a decentralized stablecoin on Ethereum.
However bear in mind, DAI will not be blockchain-based, DAI is developed on Maker. Despite the fact that you employ ETH as collateral and to mint DAI, the governance construction will not be utilizing ETH because the governance construction. It’s utilizing MKR for the construction, which additionally means Maker is simply creating sensible contracts on Ethereum. So it’s not an Ethereum blockchain-based stablecoin.
So I believe as a result of stablecoins are approach too essential, it’s principally the muse of the business, and that’s why to start with we have to have a blockchain-based stablecoin. LUNA is a blockchain primarily based stablecoin. So LUNA is the token for the blockchain and you should use LUNA to mint UST. However the issue for LUNA and the UST is that they solely have one correlation. So principally all of the UST is 100% primarily based on LUNA, which I believe induced this type of dangerous demise spiral…”
At time of writing, USDD has a market cap of $747 million. It briefly misplaced its peg for a number of weeks in June of this yr however has been buying and selling regular at $1 since.
