Forward from: Minter Network
Algocoins
As soon as within 30 days, algorithmic stablecoins—those that can be pegged to any asset out there—will go live on Minter 1. They will be backed by BIP reserves and therefore liquid across the entire network. You will be able to buy and sell any amount, with the prices recalculated once every minute.
Several teams are already working on implementation, ensuring stability against BTC, ETH, USD, RUB, and bonds of a large gas company. You should understand that the key difference between algorithmic and collateralized coins is that in terms of price, the algocoin is tied to the asset at a 1-to-1 ratio but, at the same time, is not backed by it. Thus, they are not considered financial instruments and require no regulation. Their only job is to be priced at the same level as the original and make operations convenient for the user.
The very “stability” argument is debatable as, for example, the U.S. dollar may be stable for Americans yet absolutely volatile for Europeans who need to make constant calculations and predictions. We prefer to call them algocoins.
Algocoins will be launched on the main network and initially managed by the off-chain stabilizers. With the introduction of MinterEVM, they will switch to decentralized and, what’s especially important, entirely transparent management mechanisms.
Speed of stabilization: every five seconds. We’ll be the first of our kind in the world!
