Type 1: Overcollateralized Crypto-Backed (MakerDAO / Liquity Model)

Stablecoins are the foundational primitive of DeFi — every lending protocol, DEX, and yield platform depends on them. Understanding the mechanics of different stablecoin types is essential for any DeFi protocol design. MECHANICS: User deposits ETH (or other crypto) as collateral. User borrows DAI/LUSD up to a maximum L...

Type 2: Algorithmic (Now Largely Discredited Post-LUNA)

LUNA/UST MECHANICS (for historical education): UST maintained peg via arbitrage with LUNA: 1 UST always redeemable for $1 of LUNA (by burning UST, minting LUNA). 1 LUNA could always be burned for $1 of UST. WHY IT FAILED: When UST depeg began, redemption for LUNA caused LUNA supply to explode. More LUNA supply → lower...

Type 3: RWA-Backed (Emerging Category)

MECHANICS: Stablecoin backed by tokenized real-world assets (T-bills, money market funds). Blackrock's BUIDL → backs USDC via Circle → available in DeFi. ADVANTAGES over pure crypto collateral: Non-correlated with crypto market (T-bills don't depeg in crypto crashes). Generates yield (T-bill yield passes through to hol...

Frequently asked questions

For most DeFi protocols: USDC is the practical default — most liquidity, most integrations, regulatory clarity from Circle, proven reliability. For protocols wanting to minimize centralization risk: diversify across USDC and DAI (MakerDAO's overcollateralized model). For yield-bearing stablecoin features: integrate USDY (Ondo) or similar RWA-backed stable. For algorithmic stablecoins: exercise extreme caution — the post-LUNA environment has significantly reduced trust in algorithmic stability mechanisms, and integrating one that experiences a depeg could be catastrophic for your protocol's users.
