The past month has been incredibly intense for Stablecomp: the project has closed so many massive partnerships and offering deals, that numerous news pieces a day have been flowing into our community, and it’s been hard to keep it all on users’ radars! Four coin offerings are coming between the 15th and 18th of December, and many institutions and investors are on board.

Without further ado, let us dive into all the major announcements Stablecomp has seen so far, and what is to come in the near future.

**IDOs and Partners**

Firstly, let’s break down the upcoming IDOs of our token, $SCOMP, which will allow holders to gain rewards from its locking on our decentralized Application and to earn rewards from the protocol’s use fees.
We have collaborated with four Launchpads, with 5 Million tokens being up for grabs:

- **Kommunitas**, from the 15th of December;
- **Spores**, from the 15th to the 17th of December;
- **NFTb**, the 18th of December;
- **Unknown launchpad #4** (Soon to be announced), from the 18th of December.

On the investor side of things, two pieces of news should be put in the forefront, other than the staggering onboarding of important institutions such as Blackdragon and MexC:

Stablecomp’s presence in Swiss asset manager Abalone’s portfolio; Abalone's portfolio is a star-studded one, and we join names such as Coinbase, Young Platform and Kraken.
The project’s incubation by dPixel, venture capital specialist with more than 10 years of experience, associated with some of the biggest names in the investing space.

This all leaves fertile ground for $SCOMP’s performance in the coming weeks.


**Next Steps and dates to watch**

So, what’s next?

We have **nine days to go** until the first $SCOMP IDOs on Kommunitas and Spores, and twelve days until NFTb and the #4-pad do the same.

On the 21st of December, Bitmart will also see $SCOMP listed on its platform!

You won’t want to miss out on Stablecomp’s AMAs, so be sure to keep the following dates on your calendar:

- 7th December 2023, 08:00 AM UTC; Venue: [Kommunitas](https://t.me/kommunitas) 
- 13th December 2023, 8:00 AM UTC; Venue: [SporesGlobal](https://t.me/SporesGlobal)  

Stablecomp’s team is also officially registered in the **Republic of San Marino** with _San Marino Innovation_, an exclusive high-tech project aggregator for San Marino itself.

- Stablecomp founder Gianluca Landini’s interview with S.M.I. will be available on the organization’s social media profiles on the 12th of December.

Once the token is launched through the four launchpads cited before, its public sale will become the project’s main focus: let’s take a look at its complete timeline in the coming weeks:


**Project Mini-Roadmap**

IDOs: from the 15th to the 18th of December 2023
- Kommunitas, from the 15th of December;
- Spores, from the 15th to the 17th of December;
- NFTb, the 18th of December;
- Unknown launchpad #4, from the 18th of December.

Bitmart Launch: 21st of December 2023

Stablecomp: what has happened until now, and what will happen next

Yesterday, on the 31st of October 2023, marked fifteen years since an event that has changed the lives of many, swayed the opinion of millions, and divided public opinion for years to come. 

On the 31st of October, 2008, the anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin Whitepaper. Peer to Peer, decentralized electronic cash, the first fully functioning Blockchain based Currency. 

Here at Stablecomp, we wanted to take this chance to remind ourselves and our readers of this space’s genesis and core principles, as to look forward with renewed hope and optimism.

2008, year of crisis

Satoshi Nakamoto, whoever he may be, had a clear starting point for Bitcoin, with am even clearer end-catalyst: these were respectively our traditional financial system’s corruption, and the 2008 housing bubble, which quickly turned into a global economic crisis of which we still suffer the effects.

Satoshi acts as an impartial, near ethereal observer for what is apparent to most of those who deal in finance; our traditional system has been scrambling for new solutions ever since the aftermath of the Vietnam War. As the dollar’s status as world reserve currency became more and more unchallenged, so did its inflation rates skyrocket to sustain the country’s aggressive foreign policy expenditures: From Vietnam to Israel, passing by Kuwait, Afghanistan, Iraq and Ukraine, the money flow needed to prop up the U.S.’s, and each following nation’s, national debt became more and more of an overbearing Damocle’s Sword.

This led to the dollar officially becoming independent from gold in 1971, which meant no sight of controlling inflation and national debt, and the subversion of what a banknote always was: a paper symbol for a tangible asset.
In the last five decades, Our economy has seen more and more liberty in policy, with the introduction of financial instruments such as derivatives, which hold near incalculable outstanding debt, and very lax and lenient policies regarding mortgage selling.

Banks treated houses as just another asset, no matter who could realistically afford it or not, gaining more and more commissions each year. Facing the fear of losing their clients to competitors, credit agencies were forced to sustain the fable of most mortgages being Triple A security quality in the eyes of banks, and the default of most of these houses of cards brought us to 2008: unbreakable institutions going bankrupt, millions of people losing their homes and jobs, and a ripple effect that damaged numerous other countries, even forcing Greece and Cypro near the brink of societal collapse.

The Solution

A new solution was needed, And it took place in the last months of 2008: October gave us all Bitcoin, which through its ups and downs has undoubtedly impacted the financial system in a lasting way, introducing the concept of true censorship and inflation resistant, decentralized money.

Ethereum followed shortly after, and from there the floodgates were opened: we now live in a world where government independent, currency tied assets such as Stablecoins exist freely, and DeFi can be surfed for decentralized, low-risk returns.

Stablecomp would have never taken form if not for Satoshi Nakamoto’s protocol: today we remember his lasting contribution to society as a whole, recognizing the Blockchain space’s flaws but looking for an ever-growing, decentralized future.

Happy Anniversary, Bitcoin

As crypto markets rebound following the consistent bullish BTC Spot ETF approval rumours, and stablecoins consequently acquire more trading volume and liquidity, here at Stablecomp we would like to report on one event which has, to an extent, gone under the radar of many Blockchain users and investors: Polygon based USDR, or Real US Dollar, depegging from its original, dollar tied value, to as little as 0.49$.

Tangible DAO, which is behind the product, blames a strictly liquidity connected issue, and promises a relatively quick fix to the negative news. The original statement regarding an eventual depeg, which has been seemingly confirmed by Tangible’s recent statements, read as follows:

“If the collateralization ratio ever drops beneath 100%, then 50% of the rental yield will be automatically redirected to the treasury, recollateralizing the asset and ensuring Real USD is always fully backed.”

Though it is also worth noting that almost two weeks have passed from USDR’s depeg, and its value stands at $0.56 on the dollar.
Without further ado, let us dive into what made Real USD vulnerable, and where it’s potential lies.

**USDR’s structure**

Tangible promised a particular, though seemingly secure and innovative model for USDR, and even through the depeg, the project has never appeared to steer its word away from its good faith, rather falling from grace because of the hardships of calculating an original system for one of the most complicated Blockchain products out there.

Most of the risk tied to a stablecoin, in the eyes of its users, refers to a potential depegging, which implies the digital asset losing its stable value and usually sinking to never foreseen lows. The main cause for a depeg can be found in the project’s reserves: seeing as stable value can only derive from assets that users can swap, with a 1:1 ratio, with their digital counterpart, stablecoins collateralize their token with underlying currency tied goods. For example, Tether (USDT) holds over $70BIL in U.S. Bonds, alongside a variety of different USD tied assets, to make sure it holds its peg.

Tangible planned to launch a dominating, mostly real estate backed stablecoin: the advantage of such a structure lies in the often growing value of this market, which allows for the project to, depending on its market capitalization which dictates how much real estate is purchased to back the token, pay out yearly yield to its holders, in addition to providing a stable, dollar based value.

What also has to be considered is an important variable endogenous to a stablecoin’s reserves, which is how many of these reserves are consistently there for user trading. In addition to being fully backed by stable assets, a stablecoin must have a good portion of these assets available for immediate user redemption. If, for example, a user wants to sell USDR and exchange it for real dollars or any other asset, the project must make sure he can do so without causing any liquidity issues for the protocol, as a centralized exchange would when market making.

USDR’s plan was simple: holding up to a supposed 50% of its reserves in DAI stablecoin to its from the start, other than real estate and the Tangible DAO token, would allow for users to withdraw and exchange as much as 50% of USDR’s market cap at any time, without the project having to face reserve issues. The plan read as follows:

“Real USD is pegged to the dollar so there's no volatility in the price. Further, up to 50% of the backing is held in DAI, meaning 1:1 redemptions are always available which ensures peg stability.
If the collateralization ratio ever drops beneath 100%, then 50% of the rental yield will be automatically redirected to the treasury, recollateralizing the asset and ensuring Real USD is always fully backed."

During the second week of October though, something stopped working.
Warning signs were evident, as the peg never truly reflected the dollar 1:1, remaining mostly around the $0.90 mark: then, as Tangible reported, exceptionally high USDR selling by users caused the project to drain its DAI reserves. This obviously caused what in the traditional finance world would be known as a bank run, with no more assets available for USDR withdrawal, and its subsequent depegging.

**Holders and USDR’s future**

The situation quickly ran amok, with one trader incredibly exchanging $113,000 for a grand total of zero USDC, per CoinTelegraph. Users asked for $10 Million in redemptions on the 12th of October. We quickly discovered that other than DAI, only 15% of USDR was backed by Tangible tokens, while the rest of the stablecoin was collateralized through real estate, though tokenized:

As analyst Tom Wan explained, these assets had been tokenized through Ethereum standard ERC-721, which means that they couldn’t be fractionized to allow for user redemption.

Many holders are now left with many questions and hope, as Tangible Finance has promised to bring back USDR’s peg and 1:1 redemption.

October has seen a very important piece of news in the Blockchain Space: Paolo Ardoino will be the new Tether CEO, replacing Jean-Louis van der Velde, who will stay on as a consultant for the USDT minter. Both men will retain their respective roles as CTO and CEO at BitFinex, the cryptocurrency exchange owned by iFinex, the Hong Kong based owner of both projects.

This means an internal change of guard at the highest level of the biggest stablecoin’s hierarchy, with the direction of this $80BIL behemoth under the supervision of its Italian Chief Technology Officer (CTO) since 2017, now tasked with leading the project towards new horizons.

**USDT’s path**

Tether has started its journey to the top of the Stablecoin market in 2014; After J.R. Willett published his 2012 whitepaper expanding on how to potentially build more cryptocurrencies on top of Bitcoin as a base layer. After a few precursors to Tether such as Mastercoin and RealCoin, the project was officially labeled as Tether in November 2014.

Tether’s has not always been in a state of smooth sailing. As soon as 2015, it was called out for publicly claiming that it was a separate entity from Bitfinex; the stablecoin also claimed to be fully backed from the start, but on-chain analysis suggested otherwise. To this day, no external auditor has been implemented by USDT.

USDT has seen two primary exponential growth periods in its supply; the first ranges from the beginning of 2017 up to September 2018, when the stablecoin went from an outstanding $10 Million to $2.8 Billion, a gigantic 280X growth as Bitcoin’s run to its then-all time high $20,000 price tag took place. And its second, decisive growth spurt came with the subsequent 2021 bull run; as The cryptocurrency market blew through a total $2T market capitalization, Tether officially became the go-to blockchain stablecoin provider having already surpassed Bitcoin in 2019 as the most traded asset in the space.

USDT’s fate is intertwined with cryptocurrency’s short and medium term success, as most investors utilize the stablecoin’s trading pairs to enter the market: its hypothetical collapse would bring about unforeseeable consequences.

**Ardoino’s Profile**

Let’s take a look at how Tether itself chose to present its CTO and new CEO to the world, in a statement released on the 13th of October:

"Ardoino's journey in the cryptocurrency industry began in 2014 when he joined Bitfinex, recognized as the industry’s most advanced and resilient cryptocurrency exchange. At Bitfinex, Ardoino played a pivotal role in enhancing the platform's Bitcoin trading capabilities, rapidly earning recognition for his dedication and profound knowledge of blockchain technology. In 2017, Ardoino assumed the role of Chief Technology Officer at Tether, a leading stablecoin provider. At Tether, Ardoino continued to demonstrate his exceptional ability to drive innovation and expand business horizons. One of his most notable achievements was co-leading the strategy that led to the substantial growth of Tether's market presence and market capitalization, which is currently at a high of USD$83B. This achievement solidified Tether's position as a global stablecoin powerhouse and an indispensable component of the cryptocurrency ecosystem."

The Italian has shown much interest in financial inclusion across the board, which could bring Tether to focus more on building and proposing new technological infrastructure to its users.

Being Ardoino a CTO by trade, we can expect USDT to keep up the pace with crypto’s ever-changing landscape; he has also shown interest in expanding the dollar’s trading influence through the stablecoin he commands. 
It is also worth noting that Tether’s structure has seen relatively no significant change: being a project’s CTO already means being in a project’s shortlist when it comes to important people for its survival and future policies.

Transferring more decisional power to an already fundamental individual is not the same as shaking up a project’s core; however, certain territories which maybe were more valuable to Ardoino than previous leaders might see more exploration by Tether under his leadership. As any stablecoin, USDT’s key feature is its collateralization; as long as the project doesn’t deviate from its capacity to handle daily multi billion dollar withdrawals, this simply means a possibly more versatile technological approach by the crypto giant.

Paolo Ardoino: new USDT CEO

As The People v. Sam Bankman-Fried rages on, with the disgraced founder of FTX and shadow owner of Alameda Research facing 115 years behind bars, a lot of skeletons in the two organizations’ closet have resurfaced: and while before the most famous of crypto’s failures they might have been seen as standard, last year’s developments have cast new light around them and their potential meaning.

For context, in the remote off-chance that someone reading this is not up to speed with FTX and SBF; In November 2022,the FTX crypto exchange collapsed in a matter from days, after the liquidity crisis of its native token, FTT. As the firm was responsible for over a million users’ funds at the time, its bankruptcy caused a gigantic, multi-billion dollar hole in the market. 

Even through SBF declared numerous times that investing firm Alameda, co-founded by him, and FTX were totally separate, investigators found that over $10BIL in customer funds were passed from FTX to Alameda, which also had a $65BIL credit allowance with the exchange. 
And yesterday, CoinBase director Connor Grogan rekindled the USDT-FTX fire with new findings.


**Grogan’s Analysis**

In a series of tweets, USDT’s minting faced on chain scrutiny once again, after crypto information firm Protos conducted their own analysis and concluded that a whopping $36.7BIL of USDT’s supply was minted by Alameda. This number seems much higher, however, with a previously unnoticed $2.85BIL traced by Grogan to various involved addresses. The complete number of $39.55BIL amounts to 47% of crypto’s biggest stablecoin circulating supply

This has naturally been viewed as concerning for USDT as a whole, as it is just the latest piece of a complex and seemingly tense puzzle; USDT is known for having avoided internal scrutiny numerous times and for its very diversified collateralization, and now that half of its minting has been traced to perhaps the most disgraced firm in the blockchain space, many fears this to signify possible illegalities and hidden agreements between these players; and by association, the ever present fear of USDT depegging and collapsing has risen once again.


**The importance of Calm**

This is where having a level head steps in.
We are all familiar with the crypto space’s reactionary, volatile nature; while in the bull market every single positive piece of news would cause an upsurge in prices, this period of bearish consolidation and lateralization means little to no reaction to positive news, and a whole lot of reaction to Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt.

With Crypto prices already sliding because of a variety of macro concerns, the panic induced liquidity run on USDT and, USD peg notwithstanding, its potential collapse thereafter would be the catalyst of lows we probably have not seen since 2020. This is why detaching ourselves from the facade of what we’re reading is always a smart move. 

While FTX and Alameda are now an example of financial irresponsibility on par with the Madoff Scandal, it is very much worth mentioning that at the time of USDT’s minting, no crypto firms, except for Binance and Coinbase, were as renowned and esteemed as the two giants. And, as the news concerns only the minting side of the stablecoin, we can comfortably presume, unless more evidence is produced, that circulation and collateralization continued as usual through solid and secure assets.

USDT has seen multiple billion dollar withdrawal periods of time, and has never left its users stranded when they desired to redeem their assets - this signifies that the depth of USDT’s reserves is undoubtedly closer to its enormous market capitalization than it is to zero, thus making it near impossible for a “Bank Run” to happen.

Did USDT know more about Alameda and FTX than the general public did at the time of these minting activities? Was the minting of nearly $40BIL USDT followed by dubious loans and credit towards Alameda? As of right now, that’s anyone’s guess. But mass hysteria with no solid evidence wouldn’t help any project, much less one responsible for so many investors’ presence in the cryptocurrency market.

FTX and USDT: A sign of the Times?

thumbnail_download (2).png

download (2).png

In a significantly tumultuous period for both Stablecoins and Centralized Exchange Binance, often considered the biggest CEX in the world up until 2023, one incredibly important Asian nation has seemingly decided which approach it will have towards the still unsatisfyingly regulated Blockchain product.

With 125 Million inhabitants, Japan is the 11th most populated country on the planet, and one of the largest economies by Groce Domestic Products and in the Import-Export sector: the nation legalized Bitcoin as a form of payment as early as 2017, and it now seems to be calculating its next, bold move in the space: the issuance of Japanese YEN backed stablecoins.

**THE NEWS**

Though until very recently stablecoins were banned in Japan, in December 2022 the Financial Services Agency passed legislation lifting the ban which reigned over foreign-issued Stablecoins. If we add that to the June 2022 regulatory framework emitted specifically for Stablecoins in Japan; the result is a very bullish outlook on them by Japan, especially when compared with other countries’ positions.

This legislative change of heart has brought undisputed interest by crypto’s biggest players to Japan: as its biggest banks started talks to develop nationwide stablecoins in June 2023, Both Circle and Binance showed their hand, and as of last month, Binance and MUFG Bank (The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ) have stated their intention to launch a YEN Stablecoin for the nation.

MUFG is Japan’s largest bank, and as of 2020 presented $2.27 Trillion AUM (Assets Under Management). Its involvement in such an endeavor, as one of three recognized Megabanks in Japan, is an incredibly telling sign of the direction The Land of the rising Sun is taking with stablecoins.


**JAPAN’S REASONING**

As we briefly stated in this article’s introduction, foreign issued stablecoins, which means virtually all reliable stablecoin players, had been banned in Japan for quite some time. So the legitimate question to ask would be, especially in the current indecisive worldwide environment around crypto: what changed? 

While Japan is one of the biggest economies of the world, it also is renowned for its gigantic National debt, and its near-tragic relationship to the country’s GDP. 
As of June 2023, debt accounted for 224% of Japan’s GDP. We’re talking about approximately $9.1 Trillion, which positions the nation in the top spot of this GDP/debt ratio ranking.

This means that Japan must do everything it can to re-enforce the YEN and its economy, which means buying less foreign products and Debt, through their backed treasury bonds, and finding ways for external entities to invest in Japanese bonds and the japanese economy.

Enter Binance, Circle and the stablecoin sector. 
While stablecoins were initially banned because of the common fear that they would potentially drain liquidity from the nation’s FIAT, centralized financial system, Japanese authorities have quickly realized that as stablecoins comply more and more with user and regulator concerns, the assets backing them are becoming more and more Real World based, to assure the asset’s stability. As the most stable assets in our financial system are those backed directly by national governments, this implicitly means that these stablecoins also buy billions of dollars in national debt, mostly U.S. treasury bonds, to collateralize their product.

As its debt situation is dire, Japan cannot afford to reject a $130 Billion industry, which might just take the pressure off many struggling economies in the future.

Reserves, or the assets held by an entity to fulfill its security and financial practices, are unquestionably the most important part of a Stablecoin’s structure, and in general of a project that needs Liquidity and/or Collateral to financially interact with its users and roadmap.

In the Decentralized Finance world, reserves have become both paramount and a point of political and internal contention; stablecoins need to collateralize their emission through respective asset backed assets. In the case of US Dollar based stablecoins, the projects must guarantee their reserves to be comprised of stable, USD backed or denominated assets, and this means the products being seen as a double-edged sword by the United States financial entities: they could both back U.S. debt through billions and billions of dollars to collateralize their stablecoin emission, and effectively drain liquidity from traditional FIAT currencies. 

In this precarious balance between threat and savior, what we see in major players’ reserves can help us understand their behind closed doors standing with entities such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), during these precarious regulatory times in the Blockchain space.

**THE NEWS**

In June 2023, MakerDAO, the Decentralized Autonomous Organization behind Maker’s dollar based stablecoin DAI, voted on an expansion of it’s real world asset vault of reserves. As per CoinDesk: 

_”Voters unanimously favored opening a new real-world asset (RWA) vault named BlockTower Andromeda, according to a vote concluded on Thursday. The vault is dedicated to investing a maximum of $1.28 billion in short-dated U.S. Treasury bonds funded by Maker’s overcollateralized DAI stablecoin, according to the proposal.”
This is the latest step towards increasing the project’s ties to real world financial assets, which has been pushed in the crypto world after many stablecoin peg scares and doubts, especially in its main players USDT and USDC._

More than 50% of the Maker Protocol’s yield now come from U.S. Treasury bonds, additionally gaining yield from its 500 Million holdings of USDC through CoinBase Prime, and Gemini’s reward payments for Maker holding GUSD. Maker’s Real World Asset Vault is managed by Asset specialist Monetalis, with its CEO Allan Pederson stating:

_“Through the diversification of its collateral pool with this U.S. Treasury ladder strategy, Maker is taking advantage of the current yield environment and putting its assets to work.”_


**MAKER’S STRUCTURE**

Quoting the Maker Protocol Whitepaper:

>The Maker Protocol, also known as the Multi-Collateral Dai (MCD) system, allows users to generate Dai by leveraging collateral assets approved by “Maker Governance.” Maker Governance is the community organized and operated process of managing the various aspects of the Maker Protocol. Dai is a decentralized, unbiased, collateral-backed cryptocurrency soft-pegged to the US Dollar. Resistant to hyperinflation due to its low volatility, Dai offers economic freedom and opportunity to anyone, anywhere.

Maker’s main purpose is that of Decentralized Finance providing through its DAI token, while letting its users govern its emission and parameters through the MakerDAO and its token, MAKER (MKR).

**WHAT THIS IMPLIES**

As can be interpreted through the recent regulatory lens proposed by various governments, the shift of Maker to more U.S. Treasury-based reserves makes it less likely to encounter superficial problems posed by U.S. Financial regulators. However, it also complicates its adoption by BRICS affiliated nations, as the financial direction their taking seems to include less and less purchasing of United States Debt, which stablecoins can directly relieve through this type of reserves structure.

The stability of nation backed yield is also a very important assurance for DAI, and perhaps for MAKR, in terms of having good, compounding liquidity to collateralize the Stablecoin, and help in decentralized liquidity providing.

MakerDAO and its Treasury Reserves

Today, Stablecomp wants to bring you a comparison to the past and present, while looking towards the future horizon of what the stablecoin market can aspire to be.

The first distinction needed to comprehend the similarities between Eurodollars and many Stablecoins is that of Eurodollars compared to the Euro/Dollar exchange pair; while the latter refers to the process of exchanging the two currencies and how much one euro is worth in US Dollars, the former (and the topic of this article) are US Dollar denominated liabilities in a bank outside the United States, or, to better express this concept, liabilities outside of US-based jurisdiction.

**LINES OF COMPARISON**

From the get go, the comparison to the blockchain based asset comes natural in their definition.
Most stablecoins are backed by and denominated through USD, and are in the custody of a non-US based issuer; in other words, most Stablecoins are tokenized EuroDollars, as they are present on a public blockchain.

The assets’ socioeconomic origin can be seen in similar factors;
Both eurodollars and stablecoin presence and growth stems from the perceived US Government overstepping in asset seizure and capital control, as well as the search for better yield on a version of the strongest currency, in practical and commerce terms, currently available.
As the assets lie outside of the Federal Reserve’s control, interest offered to their holders can be higher than that of US Dollars inside America.
Both assets were initially peripheral and now supported by banks, and give former US jurisdictions chances to create a US based financial hub without proverbially bending their political knees.

**THE ROAD TO GLOBAL ADOPTION**

After the Second World War, agreements stemming from Bretton Woods made the US Dollar the currency effectively backing world commerce and trade. Since its control was strictly in US hands, eurodollars were seen with near indifference by the States; however, as the presence of Dollars outside of the United States grew tremendously mainly because of massive stimulus plans for Europe’s rebuild after the conflit such as the Marshall Plan, the White House started to effectively show its fear for the jurisdiction that couldn’t be put in place for these “Foreign Dollars”, especially after the Soviet Union managed to transfer its eurodollars to other jurisdictions before the US could freeze them; this especially showed under the Eisenhower, Johnson and early Nixon administrations, with the turning point coming in 1973, shortly after President Nixon completely suspended the Gold Standard; as Cold War tensions slowly eased, and the economy opened up, fear became acceptance.

We can see a similar process coming to the Stablecoin market; while initially they constituted near zero the total volume of online payment system volume, the niche has been catching up to the main players in this new digital economy and, as they are blockchain based and completely outside of centralized control in most standard cases, most governments and monetary entities started fearing the product, and in the last five years, Fear Uncertainty and Doubt has pervaded investors as many governments mediatically capitalized on certain protocols collapsing.

However, small changes in narrative can be noticed, and governments are starting to divert from overarching monetary entities’ opinion, such as the IMF (International Monetary Fund) or the FATF (Financial Authority TaskForce);
While these entities believe that stablecoin adoption would discourage growth in developing nations’ native currencies and reduce USD liquidity and use significantly, governments are very interested in how US Treasury Bonds, and indirectly Debt, usually collateralizes stabblecoins; the potential to keep the economy going through stablecoin adoption is present, and America knows that their hostility leaves space for opposing nations to capitalize on this new currency era and, as a consequence, potentially detach themselves from the star spangled banner’s dominance.

Even in this bearish phase of the market and general adoption, stablecoin Monthly Active Users (MAU) continue to hold steady, and their exchange volume absolutely dominates the crypto market, even if stablecoins only occupy 10% of its market capitalization; also, american giants such as VISA have started down the road to adoption.

As Stablecoins are of increased interest to governments and institutions, they could be the fundamental ingredient for global Blockchain acceptance.

EURODOLLARS and STABLECOINS: Back to the Future?

The market is changing: let’s take a deeper look.

Here at Stablecomp, our primary concern is offering the best outlook on the Stablecoin market available on the market. Binance USD (BUSD) has been a staple of liquidity in the cryptocurrency sector for years, reaching more than $16 Billion in market capitalization; but recent legislative and political pressures on its issuer, with the token being defined as an unregistered security in the United States, have changed its structure and prevalence. Can its de facto substitutive stablecoin, First Digital USD (FDUSD) be trusted to deliver wide scale liquidity and stability to many anxious investors?

BUSD’s halt has been concretely in the air since the beginning of the year. After several investigations into Binance and its operations by U.S. Legislators such as the Securities and Exchange Commission (S.E.C.), which supports the thesis in which Binance has broken several financial laws in its jurisdiction, the first bell started to toll.
In February, the New York Department of Financial Services, regulator for Stablecoin issuer and intermediary Paxos, ordered the company to stop issuing BUSD.
Paxos managed all direct BUSD issuance on the ERC-20 network, with Binance minting pegged tokens on other Blockchains. While the NYDFS doesn’t control these pegged tokens, and circulating tokens would still remain circulating, the targeting of Paxos was a concrete blow to Binance and its Stablecoin.

Paxos kept a 12 month window of support for BUSD redemption, which ends in February 2024. And as August dwindled, the biggest exchange in the world came out with its own position regarding the matter.

Binance confirmed it would, as well, stop supporting BUSD in February 2024; this means that users will not be able to trade or redeem their BUSD in any other cryptocurrency or FIAT currency after this period ending. 
In its statement, the exchange encouraged users to convert their BUSD into FDUSD, a stablecoin issued by Hong Kong based company First Digital since June 2023. First Digital has been operative since 2019, and comes from the traditional finance world; their self-proclaimed mission is to bring tradition to the digital world.

FDUSD is intended to be backed 1:1 in U.S. Dollars or assets of equivalent value. While many worries around fund and liability disclosure and stability have been floating around the space since the Terra and FTX collapses, FDUSD seems to have both areas covered:
The stablecoin and its reserves will have to periodically be subjected to external auditors’ scrutiny to gain an “Attestation of Reserves”; also, it is mandated that First Digital keep the stablecoin’s reserves in segregated accounts.

With the commingling of funds being prohibited, and external audits being mandated, FDUSD seems to be a safe haven for investors who are looking to convert their BUSD at a cost of zero dollars; Binance has confirmed that the trading pair fees are absent.

FDUSD currently has a $393 Million Market capitalization.

As Stablecomp nears its token launch, important data comes to us from the Blockchain space: [more than 343 Million dollars were exploited from various projects between July and August](https://pitch.com/public/e8b834f1-01bb-4277-ab54-48200ba0f755/3800d76e-6de7-4453-95a9-ec17b84fbf99); and, just as September began, [Crypto based virtual casino Stake was exploited for a sum nearing 40 Million dollars](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/09/04/crypto-casino-stake-targeted-in-reported-40m-exploit/). This leads us to break down the primary privacy concerns you should have when dealing with this market, and how to alleviate them.

Firstly, analysis is paramount, both in fundamentals and current events: when trusting a project with your funds or any sort of potential vulnerability to your person, do your best to procure information detailing its development team and security standards; for example, Stablecomp has executed external auditing on its back end, as to avoid any malfunction in the future. Combine this with a solid following of the project's current events, and you'll be on track to understanding when it's safe or unsafe to trust. An absence of external audits and experienced developers with a trackable resume can be early signs of a highly risk propense protocol, which may leave unintentional space for exploitation in its smart contracts.

Secondly, if a project is technologically secure, be sure to safeguard the only, consistent way in to your funds; your personal data and actions. Be sure to always access the project's website or DAPP from a secure browser, and to be careful that the URL hasn't been slightly modified by hackers that could lead you to a proxy, quasi-identical landing page to get your private information. If you receive a message or e-mail from a seemingly project-backed address or number, don't rush to fulfil any indications from these sources, but instead find the protect's official support info and check out the message with them.

Lastly, always implement as many measures available to reduce the risk of anyone other than yourself accessing your funds or information. If dealing with a KYC based exchange or project, provide the data needed for 2FA, usually through your telephone number and e-mail; choose a personal, strong password to utilize; and, if the project has no KYC, do not share sensible information, for example your recovery seed phrase or private keys, online, navigate and search through a safe browser, and utilize a device which is up-to-date with the latest implemented security measures.

The Blockchain space is full of capable teams and trustworthy projects; however, its lack of regulation and across the board standards can lead to certain bad actors stealing the spotlight. Stablecomp wishes you safe browsing.

STABLECOMP TUTORIALS ARE COMING SOON: all the details

SCOMP is the native governance token of Stablecomp. Its main goal is to make it so that its holders benefit both from the distribution of the fees generated by the protocol and from the governance rights of its DAO. SCOMP has a limited supply of 200,000,000; some of the tokens collected as platform fees will eventually be burned, reducing the supply of tokens and creating deflationary pressure. At the time of writing, the token has not yet been generated. Details about the TGE will be published soon. 

**SCOMP has two main use cases:**
- Token allows its holders to benefit from governance rights in its DAO.
- Token holders can suggest and vote for proposals such as integrating a new protocol within the Stablecomp ecosystem.
SCOMP holders earn a share of platform fees.

**Stablecomp applies the following fees to its vaults:**
- Deposit fee: none
- Performance fee: 6% of returns distributed as follows
- 3% to the Governance Pool
- 0,5% to the harvest function
- 1,5% to the treasury
- 1% to the vault strategy
- Withdrawal fee: 0.2%

However, staking in the Governance Vault earns you a share of 50% of both performance fee and withdrawal fee. How do we do this? 
50% of both fees will be automatically collected and distributed in the form of SCOMP among those who are staking our native token in its governance pool in proportion to their stake. Some of the 50% of the platform use fees held by the platform will eventually be burned. This rewards holders and brings a deflationary effect to the token. 

**Please read the following:** 
The official SCOMP token contract address has NOT been announced by the team, yet. Any other SCOMP tokens will be a scam and will result in a financial loss for users.
 - Do not buy tokens from any other token address.
 - Always verify the token address before purchasing tokens.

DeFi protocols have revolutionized the world of Decentralized Finance, offering intermediary-free financial services. Through blockchain technology and the use of smart contracts, DeFi protocols enable users to access services such as loans, cryptocurrency exchanges, staking, and yield farming, all in a decentralized and transparent manner. However, despite offering significant advantages and opportunities, DeFi protocols also come with a range of risks, with technological risk being foremost among them.

While the smart contracts upon which DeFi protocols are built are generally secure, they can be susceptible to programming errors (known as bugs) or other vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors. Another risk that affects DeFi protocols is liquidity risk. DeFi protocols rely on liquidity provided by users who contribute their resources in exchange for interest or other incentives. However, if a protocol experiences a rapid reduction in liquidity, users might face difficulties in withdrawing or exchanging their assets, potentially leading to considerable financial losses. Additionally, low liquidity can increase the risk of slippage (price deviation) in trades and make financial operations within the protocol less efficient.

Cryptocurrencies, which form the foundation of DeFi protocols, are known for their volatility. This volatility can impact the value of assets held by users and increase the risk of financial losses, especially for those engaged in more complex operations like leveraged trading or yield farming.

Furthermore, even though DeFi protocols are designed to be decentralized, there can be instances of centralization. For example, an entity or a group of entities might hold a significant amount of governance tokens, thereby influencing protocol decisions. This can lead to decisions that favour the personal interests of certain participants at the expense of others.

Another risk inherent in DeFi protocols is cyber risk. DeFi protocols can be susceptible to cyberattacks, fraud, and market manipulation (including algorithmic manipulation). Attacks can encompass phishing, DDoS attacks, smart contract exploits, and other cyber methods to siphon funds from users or manipulate cryptocurrency prices. Moreover, some DeFi projects might actually hide scams or be based on mechanisms that conceal a Ponzi scheme, resulting in significant losses for investors.

What has just been discussed is amplified (in some cases exponentially) by the fact that DeFi protocols often rely on interacting with other protocols and blockchain platforms. This implies that interoperability or compatibility issues can impact the functioning of the protocol and cause losses for users. Additionally, this interdependence between protocols opens up the possibility of malfunctions related to computer problems in a protocol different from the one the user is utilizing.

Finally, like stablecoins, individual DeFi protocols are subject to regulatory risk. Users are exposed to changes in regulations in their country of residence, where regulators could suddenly make the offered service inaccessible.

**Continuing analysis as a solution to mitigate risks**

Operating in the decentralized finance sector, even using simpler and seemingly less risky tools like stablecoins, is never a guarantee of easy and "incredible" returns as many inexperienced users might be led to believe. Due to the variety they encompass, evaluating all the risks associated with a specific operation isn't straightforward, as it involves in-depth knowledge of many aspects, including the technology used, the cryptocurrency market, the development team, and the regulatory framework within which the utilized protocol operates. While audits that projects undergo can indirectly help assess the risks related to their activities, they should not be solely relied upon as reference points for making decisions.

The truth is that the only tool to minimize these risks, especially in such a dynamic and innovative sector, is to continuously conduct research and studies, aided perhaps by tools available, like the risk-reward matrix (which we will discuss later). Here at StableComp, we are well aware of this. Knowledge, however, remains the only weapon at the users' disposal to safeguard themselves from the risks in this and other financial sectors.

The Risks of DeFi Protocols and solution to mitigate risks

Well-affirmed Stablecoins are considered the cryptocurrency sector’s safe haven. While many projects have seen difficult times, and certain ones have failed to come back from them, a well manufactured, backed product can serve as a secure, decentralized market staple.

However, no stablecoin is devoid of risk, and there are two main currents of risk to look out for; the first risk type is tied to the stablecoin itself, while the second risk type is tied to the protocol in which the specific stablecoin is used. 

Here at Stablecomp we aim to adjust this market and its strategies through analysis and expertise, and for this reason we’ve put together a concise risk overlook utilizing stablecoin parameters.

**PROTOCOL RISK**

When it comes to Stablecoin's protocol risk, we have picked out three main parameters to watch out for: Contract auditing, DVL (Dominance of Value Locked), and Longevity.


Contract Auditing has to be conducted by high credibility auditors, who need to have found no critical issues, for the protocol to be considered no risk. A few critical issues within it raise the risk profile to Median, while No auditing and many critical issues obviously render the protocol high risk.

Dominance of Value Locked is the percentage ratio between the Total Value Locked within the decentralized application in question, and the sum of all Total Value Locked on all the different decentralized applications on the protocol’s blockchain. This figure offers a clear and robust representation of the market share a protocol has within a certain DeFi ecosystem. If the DVL value is over 1% on the total value locked in an ecosystem, that means stability and low risk; however, a DVL value under 0,2% equates to high risk. Anything that stands between these two values can be classified as a median risk protocol in terms of DVL.

And finally, longevity is very important, especially in a very volatile market such as the cryptocurrency space, to determine how well a protocol fares in times of adversity

**STABLECOIN RISK**

Regarding the stablecoin’s structure itself, we have picked three additional parameters, of which one remains the same: Category, Market Capitalization, and Longevity.

When it comes to a stablecoin’s category, it is undoubtedly low risk to go for a Fiat Collateralized product, while over-collateralized stablecoins through crypto or Interest bearing Tokens are classified as a median risk type of products. Algorithmic stablecoins are high risk, as their infrastructure is yet to prove its unquestionable strength.

Market Cap is also important, as a bigger stablecoin has more liquidity to keep afloat in times of crisis and heavy withdrawal; a product with more than a Billion dollars in market cap is low risk, anything between 100 Million and a Billion dollars is median risk, and any stablecoin which has under 100 Million dollars in capitalization should be seen as high risk.

Finally, Longevity; any stablecoin with a lifespan that is over 12 months can be considered a low risk endeavor, while a project which doesn’t have more than six months of experience should be something to be cautious around. Anything between these two values can be seen as a median risk stablecoin.

We hope this can help you in deciding the value of a stablecoin and its protocol: our aim is to make this space better and more secure than ever.

Stablecoins: Risk and Reward

The cryptocurrency market, as we know, is cyclical and very volatile.
It is composed of bullish, accumulation and bearish phases that could be exploited to obtain the maximum possible profits.

Despite this, it is also important to protect a part of the capital by exploiting the most convenient opportunities that decentralized finance has to offer; especially after the recent, and ongoing, turmoil regarding the space and its non stablecoin based and backed products, as seen in the latest developments of the Curve Finance Exploits. Because of a large number of stablecoins using Curve's pools for liquidity, and even more tokens having the protocol's native token CRV as balancer and collateral, its stability is incredibly important for the whole of DeFi as we know it; however, because of certain poor judgment calls by Curve's CEO Michael Egorov, a lot of CRV is being used as collateral for millions of dollars in loans made to him, and much has to be done to avoid larger repercussions on the entirety of the DeFi Market.

To balance the volatility of the portfolio and the investment risk, everyone should opt for including stablecoins as part of their wallet; investing them in the DeFi, the portfolio results to be more manageable, while generating constant and safe profits through all possible trends.

In particular, during an uptrend, the stablecoins invested in DeFi protect the user from flash crashes or violent trend reversals, while, during a bearish trend, they allow the investor to gain even if the market conditions are not at their best.
Indeed, Stablecomp gives its users the opportunity to earn secure income on stablecoins, during any phase the market is being through.

Following the different trends is unfortunately also very time-demanding. Stablecomp, therefore, is made for those types of savers who suffer from time constraints and want to be able to not suffer from stress and continuous metric checking while being exposed to a project.

Stablecomp is efficient for both those who actively follow the market and for those who seek a low-volatile passive income. In times of mediatic doubt and pressure on the ecosystem, there are always exciting products that learn from its necessities.

Stablecomp is opening the testnet for beta testing at the request of some of our eager supporters. The activity will be publicized with an Airdrop program to reward social sharing with future delivery of SCOMP tokens.

There will also be a Mainnet Prelaunch Early Adopter Program coming after the beta testing is complete. The Early Adopter Program will feature SCOMP Airdrop rewards both for using the platform and for completing social sharing tasks.

**Social Share Airdrop Details**

The Airdrop offers an incentive for sharing information about the Beta Testing event. But the Airdrop is not just a way to spread the word about beta testing. The Airdrop is a way for Stablecomp to reward our earliest supporters and gain our first users. SCOMP tokens, after all, are much more than just an Airdrop reward; they are designed to deliver lasting benefits in all market conditions.

The campaign will start on June 5th at 18:00 P.M. GMT+1 and will end on 18th June 2023, 11:59PM GMT+1. To qualify for the Airdrop, participants will complete social sharing tasks using Gleam: https://gleam.io/ufM6b/stablecomp-betatesting-airdrop-campaign.

Each task is worth a specific number of points. The more tasks you complete, the higher your chances of winning a share of the airdrop. The Stablecomp supporters with the highest point scores will earn a share of the 100,000 SCOMP tokens:

The top 50 users will receive 1000 SCOMP tokens each
The 51th to the 100th users will receive 500 SCOMP tokens each
The 101th to the 200th users will receive 250 SCOMP tokens each
The airdropped SCOMP tokens will be subject to the same vesting as marketing tokens: 5% at IDO, the remaining 95% vested monthly over one year [https://stablecomp.gitbook.io/stablecomp/usdscomp/token-distribution].

**Beta Testing**

Stablecomp is targeting specific communities to test the dApp functions and user experience. Most of the invited communities are Italian, but if you manage a community and you would like your members to have access, you can get an invitation by emailing support@stablecomp.com.

During this phase (desktop only), beta-testers can:

1 Get access to the test network by following simple set up guidelines following this link: [https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRb_Wp_U9OXkHwE0x93n5ldvzDEReuNjqIDrBu8DXiNdrHINV8K8B-vqdNJqj0B56Zay6LppIE8baKg/pub]
2 Obtain testnet SCOMP tokens by sending an email to support@stablecomp.com
3 Use test SCOMP tokens to interact with smart contracts here: http://dapp.stablecomp.com/
The Stablecomp team is eager to hear your opinion. Please join the beta testing program and let us know what you like and what changes you would recommend. You can contact us at our official email address: support@stablecomp.com/

Please note, while Stablecomp team is sincerely grateful for the effort of beta-testers, the testnet does not have a tracking feature so it is not technically possible to reward testers directly. But by participating, you can help fine-tune the Stablecomp platform to deliver a user experience that you and other users will love. And you will be ready to join the Prelaunch testing and get a chance to earn some Airdrop SCOMP.

Please beware of scammers posing as project members. This problem is not specific to Stablecomp, of course. Scammers always hover around airdrops looking for victims. And you already know: never reveal your private keys to anyone.

Thanks everyone!

USDC is a stablecoin that is pegged to the U.S. dollar on a 1:1 basis. 
Every unit of this cryptocurrency in circulation is backed up by $1 of cash or short-term U.S. Treasury bonds.

USD Coin was founded by Circle, a peer-to-peer payment services company, and Coinbase in September 2018 and now it’s the second most important stablecoin on the crypto market as the graph below shows. It can also be noted that during the market crash the dominance of stablecoins increased significantly.

![Immagine 2023-01-13 174121.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/dirwtwtdu/image/upload/v1673628110/Immagine_2023_01_13_174121_48b2e63b4a.png)

The transparency over the provenance of its funds has been a big reason for USDC's success. Unlike its rival USDT, which has found itself embroiled in repeated investigations, USDC has never been accused of any wrongdoing. 

Here you can find the report of the liquidity behind USDC emission:

In fact, USDC has enjoyed this good reputation in the past by gaining market share over its rival, but, despite this, its circulating currency (in blue) has decreased faster than USDT (in green)  in recent weeks. 

![Immagine 2023-01-13 174446.png](https://res.cloudinary.com/dirwtwtdu/image/upload/v1673628334/Immagine_2023_01_13_174446_79ad1143c4.png)
USDT in green, USDC in blue, BUSD in yellow, and DAI in purple, aggregated stablecoins market cap in red and bitcoin price in black.

Today, USDC’s market cap is 44 billion and its ecosystem is growing very fast. In fact, it’s supported by the most important exchanges, De-Fi and Ce-Fi platforms, wallets, app and service providers. It’s available on Ethereum, Algorand, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, Polygon, Fantom, Avalanche, Tron and many others. 


USDC: digital money for the digital age

USDT is the stablecoin equivalent of a US dollar. Tether works to change the financial world through a modern and digital approach to money. Tether’s USDT tokens give holders the ability to store value and transact wih an asset that is less volatile than digital currencies and can be used across different blockchains, like Algorand, Ethereum, EOS, Liquid Network, Omni, Tron, Bitcoin Cash’s Standard Ledger Protocol, and Solana. Converting from fiat to crypto or crypto to fiat involves friction and relatively high costs. USDT allows people to hold an asset with the same value as a US dollar without converting out of crypto into fiat.

Tether began offering the first US backed stablecoin, USDT in 2014, and has maintained market dominance. With 78 billion USDT in circulation, Tether’s USD equivalent token is the most widely adopted stablecoin. Tether also offers a Euro pegged stablecoin called EURT. CNHT and XAUT, pegged to Chinese Yuan and gold are also in development.

All Tether tokens are pegged at 1-to-1 with a matching fiat currency and are backed 100% by Tether’s reserves. Tether Holdings Limited is audited quarterly. The reserves are a mix of Treasury Bills, Cash & Bank Deposits, Money Market Funds and Commercial Paper.
You can see the details here: https://tether.to/en/transparency

At an institutional level, USDT has been important to the growth of the crypto sector. During recent bull markets, USDT played a fundamental role in moving liquidity from one exchange to another without creating exposure to volatility risk. It also helps at an individual level, particularly in bear markets. For example, if you want to sell one crypto asset, but you are not sure what you want to buy next, rather than converting to fiat, you can sell for USDT and reduce your transaction costs and avoid exchange limits. Before 2014, if you wanted to move assets between crypto and a stable USD-valued asset, you would have to convert your crypto to fiat. Now, when you want to take a risk-off position, you can trade your crypto assets for USDT and when you are ready to return to a risk-on position, you will find USDT is one of the most common trading pairs. You can also earn low-risk returns on your USDT in periods of uncertainty by lending them in staking pools.

Understanding USDT

People sometimes search for security and stability when managing their assets. Some assets offer the possibility of appreciation, but they can be volatile, offering a risk of depreciation as well. Fiat currency of nations with relatively stable economies is often viewed as a “safe” asset. But throughout history, stable currencies have sometimes become unstable. Some people view the central banks that control currencies with quite a bit of skepticism. Even the most stable currencies, arguably, entail risks that are not, in the view of some people, priced in to asset costs and yields for “parking” those assets. So for people with this outlook, a stablecoin that is reliable worth one dollar or one Euro is not really that stable at all.

So what can people do to provide a stable hedge against a downturn if not even fiat assets from the most stable economies are reliable in their opinion? They could diversify into commodities. But commodities investments can be fraught and a bit of a hassle with high transaction fees. Fortunately some stablecoins offer a relatively simple solution to the conundrum.

Some stablecoins are backed by commodities. For instance, you can get stablecoins backed by gold. This is the most common form of commodity-backed stablecoin. To the extent that the value of gold in real terms is stable, this provides a safe haven with a secure future value. Whatever crazy things might happen in fiat currency — the value of real goods you can trade gold for is perhaps more important.

Each gold-backed stablecoin represents a specific amount of gold — for example, 1 token is worth one gram of gold. The physical gold that backs the tokens is often stored in the vault of a trusted third party. While commodity-backed stablecoins are not as popular as fiat-backed stablecoins, they provide a viable alternative for those looking to transact in tokens backed by real, tangible value via precious metals.

**Benefits**
• It is guaranteed by real assets: the holders of the stablecoin own something connected to a tangible and guaranteed asset with real value.

• Stability: The price of some commodities is relatively stable, and would represent a good underlying asset for a stablecoin.

Disadvantages
• Centralized: Third parties such as suppliers, custodians and the company itself are required to ensure the full functioning of the system. This entails risks.

For a token to be fiat-backed, a company or central entity must manage fiat currency reserves and issue a corresponding amount of tokens in the crypto market. The company is the custodian of fiat reserves. Therefore, holders of these fiat-backed tokens are choosing to trust the central entity. Holders may seek to verify reliability by examining periodic audits, but ultimately the involvement of the central authority means the holder is involved in a relationship that involves trust.

**Benefits**
• Simplicity: The fiat-backed structure is easy to understand.

• Stability: Fiat currencies from countries with a strong and relatively stable economy are perhaps the most stable assets available. For instance, the USD is very stable so international business deals often use it as a “unit of account” — a way to measure and describe value that does not change a lot over time. Several popular stablecoins are backed with fiat USD.

**Disadvantages**
• Centralized: this structure is always highly centralized and therefore subject to various vulnerabilities and risks.

• Requires trust: the central entity must be trusted for the full functioning of the system, which goes against the principle of decentralization of cryptocurrencies. External audits are required to verify the credibility of the accounts.

• Regulatory Risk: Anything involving Fiat in the cryptocurrency market today would require greater supervision and regulation. For example, Tether continues to categorically reject any public audit, and the institutions responsible for issuing the dollar may soon rebel against this lack of transparency.

Stablecomp
Stablecoins are used to fund many activities in DeFi. People provide liquidity for DeFi activities by staking stablecoins in pools that yield interest.

Stablecomp is a utility token-powered platform for assessing risk in stablecoin staking pools. Eventually, Stablecomp may strive to support all Stablecoins to offer freedom of choice, a key component of true decentralization. In the near term, Stablecomp will support the most popular stablecoins.
