Aave proposed a decentralized, collateral-backed stablecoin dubbed "GHO".

Summary by @BlockworksRes's @swmartin19
The total stablecoin market cap is at $153B and has seen its dominance rise to levels never seen before.

There is no doubting product-market fit when it comes to stablecoins.
Initially, GHO will be minted by @AaveAave borrowers who supply collateral at a specific collateralization ratio.

When a user repays an outstanding GHO loan, or is liquidated, the GHO protocol will burn that user's GHO, thus removing it from the circulating supply.

The future of the browser 🧵

Right now, Web 3 wallets like MetaMask plug into DeFi applications.

In the future, they’ll plug into every website in the world.
2/ Websites are broken.

Your personal data, credit cards, address, birthday, email, passwords, and more are stored on hundreds of private databases.

This creates a honeypot for hackers.
3/ Soon we'll use a stablecoin like USDC through a Web 3 wallet like MetaMask to make e-commerce purchases.

This is far more efficient and secure than creating new accounts on every website.

NFTs will make it interesting...
