How Do Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) Attempt to Manage a Stablecoin Death Spiral?

A DAO, which governs a decentralized stablecoin, manages a death spiral through emergency governance votes. Actions may include deploying treasury funds to buy the stablecoin on the open market, adjusting key protocol parameters like collateralization ratios or liquidation penalties, or implementing emergency measures like a temporary trading halt or redemption fee.

The effectiveness relies on the speed of the vote and the solvency of the DAO's treasury.
