Proposal for Restoration in Accord with the First Principles of Reality
- Reasons for the failure of Luna/UST:
(1) Luna/UST lacks a corresponding value foundation;
(2) Unlimited supply of Luna/UST;
(3) Luna/UST arbitrage is unsustainable;
(4) A 20% stake is unsustainable. - The original purpose of stablecoins in the blockchain world:
(1) From a transactional perspective, stablecoins are unnecessary, as all blockchain tokens serve the purpose of trading;
(2) Debate One: Stablecoins are designed to link to fiat currencies and provide nominal pricing for blockchain tokens;
Debate II: Stablecoins are designed to secure rights and ensure that participants can hold their share of blockchain tokens without loss. - Regarding the debate on
Algorithmic stablecoins are destined to and must fail, as they go against human nature and objective laws;
If Luna/UST is to be restored from this perspective, it is impossible and unsustainable. - Regarding the second argument
Stablecoin with Rights Confirmation Algorithm: This proposal primarily elaborates on the aspect of rebuilding rather than restoring Luna/UST.
(1) Current Situation: The chances of Lunc/USTC recovery are slim; similar over-collateralization risks exist, such as with DAI.
(2) Reconstruction Proposal - Recasting the UST
Based on community interests, the currently floating USTC should remain fixed, and its price should be considered as debt;
How to recast it?
(1) A fixed quantity is cast on schedule, and the component currency cost prices in bull and bear markets are fundamentally different;
(2) It should be collateralized; for example, 1UST = 1USTC + a basket of major cryptocurrencies (community vote), where 1USTC serves as the dynamically adjusted currency;
(3) The sustainability of arbitrage: Establishing on-chain decentralized exchanges (HYPE and ASTER have been successful), with transaction fees serving as the upper limit for continuous arbitrage. Arbitrage should not be baseless; reasonable arbitrage opportunities are essential;
(4) Destruction should be orderly; a spiral decline is a trampling of value.
In short, the current USTC serves as debt repayment, while the new UST is a hybrid stablecoin, and arbitrage is sustainable.
