UST failed. Many wondered if that’s the end of algorithmic stablecoins.

@fraxfinance A/ How FRAX works
In part 1 of our #stablecoinwar series, the crypto world gave you a quest to create the ultimate stablecoin.

You succeeded in creating 3 types of stablecoins- fiat-backed, crypto-backed and algorithmic. You've also learnt about the 3C framework- 2/n
@fraxfinance Each type of stablecoin trades off some aspect of collateral, capital efficiency and centralisation.

Now it's 2022, and the crypto world has another quest for you. 3/n

@ethereum @MakerDAO A/ Mechanics of @MakerDAO

A quick refresher on types of #stablecoins- there are
1) fiat-backed
2) crypto-backed
3) algorithmic

DAI is a crypto-backed stablecoin, which means that all of its assets live on the blockchain! How do we make that happen? 2/n

I'm going to get to what I mean by McDonald's of stablecoins. Ngl, I was blown away while reading @centre_io's whitepaper.

So let us run through how #USDC works, and I'll tell you about Centre's audacious vision. 2/n
@centre_io Similar to #USDT, USDC is a fiat-backed stablecoin. I've gone through the 3C framework and USDT in previous threads, so I won't go into detail here. (No worries, I'll link them at the end of this thread.)

Remember how USDT is backed by a confusing list of financial assets? 3/n
