CompX - xUSD Interest Rates - Discussion

Hi @Xxiled

Have you considered encouraging a soft peg for $xUSD instead of trying to enforce a hard peg to USD?

If you haven’t heard of them check out Kujira’s $USK. Kujira is a Cosmos DeFi chain. $USK is purposefully soft pegged to encourage Arbitrage. The Arbitrage system is what maintains $USK soft peg stability in relation to USD on either side.

Implementing this system could add to the unique value of $xUSD within Algorand DeFi.

Hey thanks for the tip - I hadn’t heard of that before and will give it a research.

And of course with Arbitrage, its another revenue opportunity and could boost volume.

Appreciate it!

I think in reality we couldn’t call xUSD to have a hard peg to USD - with how it’s backed and with the current liquidity we do see movement. I suppose one main thing is that the plans outlined here aim to get xUSD to $1 and either stay there or go below - they don’t allow much, if any movement above $1.

Perhaps a ± range around $1 would be allow more flexibility and as you say, opportunities for revenue.

Great stuff to think on, thanks again!
