With the launch of Carbon stablecoin, one of the Cosmos' first native stablecoins, let's look at how it can benefit SWTH holders.
Some context before we begin.
At Switcheo, we focus on empowering the future of finance by supporting the creation of sustainable and value-added products that help users from all over the world improve their finances.
One of the biggest use cases in finance is lending and borrowing, worth trillions of dollars. That's why Carbon, an app chain on Cosmos, created Nitron - a money market where people can lend or borrow against their idle assets to make them more useful.
With the launch of Nitron, people can lend and borrow assets from Cosmos to Ethereum and beyond without asking for permission.
This launch brings Carbon closer to being an all-in-one hub for DeFi that lets users enjoy everything it has to offer.
But there can't be a fully decentralized economy without a decentralized stablecoin.
That's why we're also launching the Carbon stablecoin $USC at the same time.
What is the Carbon stablecoin?
The Carbon stablecoin is a native Cosmos stablecoin that is overcollateralized and permissionless. It is soft-pegged to the USD and governed by SWTH holders.
How does USC maintain peg?
USC is backed by blue-chip collaterals with deep liquidity, before phasing in other assets such as liquid staked derivatives through governance.
If the collateral falls in value, the loan will be liquidated to ensure USC remains overcollateralized.
Why are you accepting USDC as collateral?
USDC is accepted as collateral because many users hold USDC and would want to have the most flexibility on how they use the Carbon money market, including depositing USDC as collateral and borrowing other assets.
USC will have a growing list of features:
• Low-interest rates for minting Carbon stablecoin
• Amplified pool with other stablecoins for LPs
• Arbitrage opportunities for risk-free profits
• Enabled as margin for trading perps
• Supply to borrowers for yield on USC
How do you mint the Carbon stablecoin?
Users put up whitelisted collaterals onto Nitron to mint the Carbon stablecoin, and they can get their collateral back by burning the stablecoin.
In summary, Carbon stablecoin is a key pillar for the Carbon ecosystem and may help boost SWTH market cap at just $10 million.
Its introduction will be a huge milestone for Carbon and will add more utility for SWTH stakers as we build towards being the best cross-chain DeFi hub.
@TeamKujira added over $1 million in liquidity for their orderbook in just days with the creation of BOW, a market-making mechanism that turns users' liquidity into narrower price spreads for a better trading experience.
Is Atom 2.0 the next big narrative after the eth merge?
Here are multiple reasons why @cosmos $ATOM may be the next attention driver and why I am bullish on the long-term vision.
This is almost everything you should know before Cosmoverse starts on 26 September!
As we know the Eth Merge was a success, I played it well but now that the narrative is over, what should I trade next?
Looking around, I was surprised at $ATOM's price. My $ATOM position outperformed my entire $ETH position by 2x!
Let me try to explain why $ATOM rallied.
Cosmos has a fascinating technology and great potential, where it's even possible that its ideologies will take over crypto.
Here are just 3 cool features to understand to be a #cosmonaut - Interblockchain Communication (IBC), Interchain Security (ICS), and Atom Tokenomics 2.0.
Potential Alpha: Why @demexchange's $SWTH may be the most undervalued perpetual platform in the #CosmosEcosystem and can do another 10x from here.
🧵
$ATOM $OSMO $SWTH
Most perpetual platforms on Cosmos are being valued at above $100m market cap.
However, $SWTH is only at $10m market cap, 10x lower than competitors.
With the launch of leverage perps today, $SWTH is potentially undervalued and presents a good risk/reward bet. Let me explain.
The volume on perps or margin pair on a CEX is usually about 10-15x the spot volume on average due to leverage.
Demex's volume was mainly spot, but with perps and leverage being enabled, our volume may multiply by 10-15x, bringing our #realyield and valuation up.
