What Is the Function of a ‘Decentralized Stablecoin’?
A decentralized stablecoin aims to maintain a stable value, often pegged to a fiat currency like the US Dollar, without relying on a central authority or traditional financial institutions. It achieves this stability through collateralized debt positions, algorithmic mechanisms, or a combination of both, managed by smart contracts.
This allows for censorship-resistant, transparent, and globally accessible digital currency for transactions and savings. It acts as a bridge between the volatile crypto world and the stable fiat world.
