What Is the Concept of a “Basket” of Stablecoins in a Multi-Asset Stableswap Pool?

A basket of stablecoins refers to a liquidity pool containing more than two pegged assets, such as USDC, DAI, and USDT. This multi-asset pool allows users to swap between any of the stablecoins in the basket with low slippage.

The basket structure diversifies the pool's risk across multiple stablecoin issuers, reducing the impact of a single stablecoin de-pegging, but also introducing the risk of contagion if multiple assets fail simultaneously.
