How Does the Use of a Dual-Token System Attempt to Mitigate the Death Spiral Risk?

A dual-token system typically involves the stablecoin and a second, volatile token (often called a governance or share token). When the stablecoin is below its peg, the system may incentivize users to burn the stablecoin in exchange for the volatile token.

This reduces stablecoin supply and increases demand for the volatile token, aiming to restore the peg.
