Peg Stabilization Mechanism

At Aegis, we have developed a sophisticated Peg Arbitrage Mechanism to ensure the stability and value of our delta-neutral stablecoin, YUSD. This mechanism leverages the concept of price discrepancies between YUSD on different markets and its intrinsic value, providing opportunities for cross-market arbitrage.

Maintaining Stability and Value

The primary objective of our Peg Arbitrage Mechanism is to maintain the value of YUSD close to $1. This is crucial for the stability and reliability of our stablecoin. When the market price of YUSD deviates from its peg, arbitrage opportunities for authorized users are created. These users can perform arbitrage by minting or redeeming YUSD through our protocol, exploiting the price difference to their advantage. This process provides profit opportunities for users and helps stabilize the coin's value.

How the Peg Arbitrage Mechanism Works

Minting and Redeeming YUSD: When YUSD trades above $1, users can mint new YUSD by providing collateral, increasing the supply, and bringing the price back down. Conversely, when YUSD trades below $1, users can redeem YUSD for collateral, decreasing the supply and pushing the price back up.

Arbitrage Opportunities: Authorized users can exploit price discrepancies across different markets. For instance, if YUSD is trading at $1.02 on one exchange and $0.98 on another, users can buy YUSD at a lower price and sell it at a higher price, profiting from the difference.

Continuous Monitoring: Our system continuously monitors market prices and intrinsic value to maintain the peg. This dynamic approach allows for quick adjustments and mitigates the risk of prolonged price deviations.

Benefits of the Peg Arbitrage Mechanism

  • Stability: Maintaining the peg ensures that YUSD remains a reliable and stable asset for users.

  • Transparency: The mechanism operates transparently, allowing users to see and understand how price stability is achieved.

  • Profitability: Users can take advantage of arbitrage opportunities, making YUSD an attractive option for traders and investors.

By leveraging advanced arbitrage strategies, we ensure that YUSD remains a dependable and stable asset, providing value and security to our users.
