@KauriHero Great question. Silk isn't algorithmic it's overcollateralized. Currently by about 245% but historically by as much as 350%. What's novel isn't being overcollateralized - or even private. It's the inflation resistance. 3 yrs ago Silk was $1.05. Now it's $1.40. All by design.

@Silk_Stable All for innovative ways for privacy coins and stable coins to develop. But can someone explain how this is different to many other algorithmic stablecoins (most which failed in extreme volatility) from the past, such as UST (Anchor) or USDN (Waves eco)?

The future of stability has been upgraded. Sorry you missed the memo. Sending a new memo now... Study $SILK

Appreciate the mention! For most of the last three years Silk has been the largest decentralized stable in the Cosmos which is pretty cool! Quick note: because Silk has such a novel design, a lot of times people mix-up "backing" and "peg". Silk is backed/overcollateralized by diverse assets like ATOM, wBTC, wETH, etc. Silk is "pegged" to that global basket you mentioned. Which immediately should raise all kinds of questions for people like "what? not pegged to $1.00?..." Yes, exactly. It resists inflation by design. And doing a marvelous job. Up ~35% over the last few years. Check out the video!

8/ Shade & SILK: The confidential version 🕵️ $SILK is a stablecoin: → Backed by a global basket (USD, EUR, JPY, BTC, gold…) → Over-collateralized → Transferable privately by default (Secret Network) For private payments and financial sovereignty.

1/ Cosmos: The neon paradise for stablecoin issuers Stablecoins are the beating heart of crypto. →$243B market cap →$27.6T on-chain volume in 2024 (yes, that’s more than Visa + Mastercard combined) Until now, giants like USDT were only renting docking bays on Ethereum, Tron (TRC-20), Solana… But it was never really their homeworld. Today, they want to become founders of sovereign islands in a galactic archipelago. And when they benchmark the ideal place… they discover a sci-fi island built for money at machine speed: → Sovereign → Interoperable → Near-lightspeed → Engineered for mass adoption Welcome to @cosmos: the neon archipelago for stablecoin issuers ✨ We’ll start with the hottest projects in the launch bay right now: 4 new islands lighting up the map. → Arc by @circle / @arc → Plasma by @PlasmaFDN → Tempo by @stripe → Stable by @USDT0_to Then we’ll cover 4 established pillars already thriving in Cosmos: → USDC – Noble → USDY – Ondo → SILK – Shade Protocol → sUSDS – Pryzm #CitoEarn @Cito_Zone

@felixglezjim @MoDegen1369 @MemeREKT2 ¿Tienes preguntas? Liderar la innovación siempre resulta extraño cuando la curva de adopción aún no se ha acelerado. Pero queremos hacer todo lo posible para que sea fácil de entender. ¿Preguntas?

@MoDegen1369 @Silk_Stable @MemeREKT2 Una stable un tanto extraña

How does Silk's unique basket peg create a stablecoin that make it a gainer relative to $USDC or $USDT? 1⃣ The USD denominated price of the currencies, commodities, and assets are assigned a weight in the basket (based off a fixed unit variable in the equation). 2⃣ The price of each basket "contributor" influences the Silk target price (target peg) ➡️End result? You get a stablecoin that appreciates relative to USD over time. Where is Silk's target peg going in the future? What will Silk be at 150k $BTC or with $XAUT and $PAXG at 5200? You can test Silk's future target price in a simple sandbox. Just check out the spreadsheet calculator linked in replies.

@Halifan_Iyah @payy_link To be clear and avoid any mistaken facts, SILK is not available with the Payy Card. But we celebrate what they have built for the cause of privacy!

$SILK with @payy_link is smooth, private, and reliable DeFi payments. ✅ Security ✅ Stability ✅ Freedom The future of finance without compromise.

Game respect game 🤝 Major props to @payy_link for creating such a beautiful app and payments experience. Go team privacy! For anyone looking for a private (and inflation-resisting) stablecoin that you can play with in DeFi - study $SILK!

@whitmananalysis Have a look at $SILK. A 3 yr old inflation-resisting stablecoin. Up 36% vs USD since launch (and that's apart from any of the DeFi opps associated with it like staking, lending, LPs) Would love to hear your thoughts

Inflation 3 percent, bank savings 0.05 percent. That account is a slow-motion mugging. Shift idle cash to T-Bills, money-market ETFs, or even a high-yield stablecoin pool. Where’s your dry powder earning real yield today?

@benhaqueu1 @altcoinvietnam @SoSoValueCrypto Say more. What do you mean?

@altcoinvietnam @SoSoValueCrypto Stablecoin inflation could precede the next crypto bull run.

😌LẠM PHÁT SỐ LƯỢNG STABLECOIN HIỆN HỮU: NHẬN DIỆN TÁC ĐỘNG KÉP ĐẾN HỆ SINH THÁI TIỀN MÃ HÓA Stablecoin với bản chất là cầu nối giữa tài chính truyền thống và thế giới tài sản số, đóng vai trò then chốt trong hạ tầng thanh khoản và dòng vốn trong hệ sinh thái #crypto. => Tuy nhiên, kể từ năm 2024 đến nay, thị trường đang chứng kiến một hiện tượng đặc biệt: sự gia tăng đột biến về số lượng và tổng vốn hóa #stablecoin hiện hữu, thể hiện qua biểu đồ lịch sử tổng vốn hóa stablecoin đạt đỉnh 249 tỷ USD vào ngày 04/08/2025. 1. Từ gia tốc tăng trưởng đến điểm bùng nổ vốn hóa Biểu đồ trên cho thấy một chu kỳ tăng trưởng rõ rệt từ năm 2020 thời điểm DeFi bùng nổ. Tuy nhiên, có 2 giai đoạn tăng trưởng khác biệt cần được nhấn mạnh: - Giai đoạn 1 (2020–2022): Giai đoạn này đánh dấu đợt bơm thanh khoản đầu tiên với tổng vốn hóa tăng từ dưới 10B lên gần 200B USD. Sự tăng trưởng này có tính chu kỳ gắn liền với #bullmarket, kết hợp với sự chấp nhận #USDC, #USDT làm collateral tài sản thế chấp trên các giao thức như #Aave, #MakerDAO. - Giai đoạn 2 (2023–nay): Sau một giai đoạn điều chỉnh, từ giữa 2023 đến nay, thị trường chứng kiến sự phục hồi cực mạnh và mở rộng vốn hóa vượt đỉnh cũ, chạm mốc 249B $USD vào tháng 8/2025 mức cao nhất trong lịch sử stablecoin. => Đặc biệt, tốc độ tăng trưởng không đi kèm với sự bùng nổ thị trường #DeFi như trước, cho thấy yếu tố đầu cơ và dự trữ đang gia tăng mạnh mẽ. 2. USDT tiếp tục thống trị, nhưng QUÁ NHIỀU cái tên mới đang mở rộng - Dữ liệu phân tích thành phần stablecoin tính đến ngày 04/08/2025 👉USDT tiếp tục giữ ngôi vương, nhưng đáng chú ý là sự trỗi dậy của các stablecoin mới mang tính chính sách hoặc tập đoàn hỗ trợ, như: - PYUSD do #PayPal phát hành. - FDUSD được #Binance thúc đẩy mạnh mẽ. - USDE đại diện cho xu hướng phát hành stablecoin gắn với yield (LSD-backed stablecoin). => Sự đa dạng này là bằng chứng cho thấy: các tổ chức lớn đang bước vào cuộc chơi phát hành tiền số ổn định, và stablecoin giờ không còn là sân chơi riêng của crypto-native. 3. Lạm phát stablecoin: Một dạng “in tiền” không cần giấy phép? Số lượng stablecoin tăng trưởng nhanh hơn tốc độ hấp thụ. Điều này kéo theo một số hệ quả nghiêm trọng: 👉 Thanh khoản giả tạo (False Liquidity): Khi số lượng stablecoin tăng nhanh mà không có sự hấp thụ vào tài sản thực (#BTC, #ETH, RWA...), ta đang có một “cái ví phình to nhưng không được chi tiêu” dẫn đến hiệu ứng nén thanh khoản đầu cơ, dễ tạo bong bóng. 👉 Tăng áp lực lên yield DeFi: Nhiều stablecoin hơn nghĩa là các giao thức phải trả nhiều lãi hơn để “giữ chân” dòng vốn, dẫn đến giảm hiệu quả vốn dài hạn. 👉 Rủi ro phá vỡ peg: Nhiều stablecoin mới phát hành không đủ uy tín hoặc không có tài sản thế chấp minh bạch, làm tăng rủi ro hệ thống nếu xảy ra sự kiện vỡ nợ (tương tự UST/LUNA trước đây). 4. Đây có thực sự là "lạm phát" hay là "chuẩn bị cho chu kỳ tăng trưởng mới"? Không thể phủ nhận một điều: sự gia tăng stablecoin cũng có thể phản ánh: - Sự chuẩn bị vốn cho mùa bull sắp tới, khi nhà đầu tư "gửi tiền vào sàn nhưng chưa hành động". - Dấu hiệu của tăng trưởng dòng vốn tổ chức, khi các stablecoin như $USDC hoặc $PYUSD phục vụ cho cross-border payment, RWA tokenization và tài chính doanh nghiệp, QUỸ ETF, hay là gọi vốn. => Tuy nhiên, vấn đề nằm ở chỗ sự mất cân bằng giữa lượng stablecoin được mint ra và tốc độ phân bổ vào các tài sản có giá trị sử dụng thực sự, đang là một cảnh báo sớm cho khả năng xuất hiện biến động mạnh trong cấu trúc thị trường #crypto nửa cuối 2025. @hoto2009 #sosovalue @SosovalueVN

@braindensity @PicWeGlobal What ecosystems are you connected to?

@PicWeGlobal - It’s solving real-world problems, from inflation and cross-border payments to UX fragmentation in DeFi. - It’s not just a stablecoin, it's a digital dollar for the internet-native economy. Gmove y’all and let’s keep moving!!!

Gmove & GPicwe @moveindustries @PicWeGlobal @GasyardFi on this #MovementStableRevolution journey. 🪙 Stablecoins: The Backbone of On-Chain Finance 🔍 What Are Stablecoins? Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to a stable asset, usually the U.S. Dollar (USD).

@coinbase Someone should go back in time 3 yrs and launch an inflation resisting stablecoin. Then those bears could eat the same amount of food as before inflation. Well I guess our devs cracked time travel b/c they launched a thing like that. It's called $SILK. Up 36% since launch

It’s time to take the air out of shrinkflation. We're back with another real conversation. This is Human Nature: Episode 2.

How it started: "Let's build a stablecoin that resists inflation." How it's going:

Interesting idea for sure. And it's primarily up to the community. The original peg research team brought several models forward for people to deliberate around. So a similar open-forum will decide the future of Silk also! One perspective - some might be cautious about adding additional volatility in the peg. Silk is outperforming at this point. Up 30% in the last year alone. ETH by itself is only up 37% on the same time frame. There's a tipping point at which Silk becomes a speculative asset rather than preserving purchasing power. Community members like you will continue to have these important discussions to balance on that edge!

@Silk_Stable @Shade_Protocol Is the team considering the addition of ETH or yield generating assets in the future? I think both could further strengthen Silk’s value proposition. Thanks again for the insights! 😀

Silk can adapt it's peg composition to preserve stable value in any macro scenario. USD hyperinflation? Silk wins. Bitcoin becomes the global currency? Silk wins. Current macro scenario? [checks price chart]... Silk wins. Silk is antifragile stability.

Totally valid concern. Silk won't be up only. No asset will of course. If BTC went to 40k and Gold went to 2500, Silk would still be $1.12. Playing out your scenario we should ask: Would you lose more, less, or the same with Silk relative to holding: a) US dollar b) BTC For "a", we don't know the answer. It depends what is happening to the dollar in a macro environment where BTC is tanking. Is it likely that the dollar would be really strong in such an environment - even as it hangs on the precipice of such massive printing and insurmountable debt? For b, yes, you've outperformed BTC in that scenario by hedging against it with Silk. You aren't down 70%. Basically, if the global economy has a horrible few years, yes, Silk takes a punch from that. But where else could you go that would be better? Silk is designed to take less of a hit and to fare better in that scenario versus exposure to a single currency or a collapsing volatile asset. What do you think? Something missing in this logic?

@Silk_Stable @Shade_Protocol And what if BTC Crashes ? Well silk doesnt win !

Are you familiar with the idea of a "flatcoin"? That's probably the most familiar sub-category of stablecoin to describe what Silk is. If you look at USD stablecoins over the last 4 years, they've lost ~30% of their value during that time due to inflation. Silk is designed to counter that devaluation - which is why it's up 30% during the same time period. Some people think $1.00 is "stable". But what if a better definition of stability is preserving your purchasing power and resisting inflation over time? Check out this video and see if Silk makes a little more sense. Would love to hear your next questions and thoughts after watching this!

@muradsbtc @Shade_Protocol @SecretNetwork @cosmos @Silk_Stable @Aliyu5g Silk is blatantly NOT a stablecoin. Just look at its price variations

#WEB3 PRIVACY 101: Ep. 16 🧵 What is $SILK stablecoin? SILK is a privacy-preserving, overcollateralized stablecoin issued by @Shade_Protocol, running on the @SecretNetwork being the only stablecoin on the @cosmos ecosystem. Wanna know more? Let's dig out...

Stablecoins will continue to erode your purchasing power until you adopt a better definition of stability.

Resist inflation.

@mackcee @hosseeb @fizk_protocol Wow, very cool. Full DeFi suite surrounding it also?

@hosseeb They are not only deterring developers of privacy tech but are also cutting off their resources. We are building @fizk_protocol - a confidential but auditable stablecoin protocol trying to tackle the exact privacy v compliance gap you describe here. Respect your conviction.

Dragonfly invested into PepperSec, Inc., the developers of Tornado Cash, in August of 2020. We made this investment because we believe in the importance of open-source privacy-preserving technology. Prior to our investment, we obtained an outside legal opinion that confirmed that Tornado Cash as built complied with the law, under the guidance given by FinCEN in 2019. The government has now stated in open court that they are contemplating charges against Dragonfly for having invested into the Tornado Cash team in 2020. On counsel’s advice, we have refrained from public comment. But we can no longer remain silent. We believe deeply in Americans’ right to privacy, and the lack of it remains one of crypto’s largest unsolved problems. We therefore stand by our investment. We did not operate or exercise any control over Tornado Cash, we had no contact with any malicious users, we always encouraged our portfolio companies to follow the law, and we maintain that Tornado Cash itself has a lawful right to exist—a view reinforced by Van Loon v. Department of the Treasury and OFAC’s subsequent rescission of sanctions. Charging a venture firm for a portfolio company’s alleged misconduct would be unprecedented, especially under these circumstances. In 2023 we received a DOJ subpoena and have fully cooperated with the government’s investigation of Tornado Cash, confident that we have always complied with the law. The DOJ has made clear that we are not ourselves a target of their investigation. As with every investment, we provided PepperSec the same advice and support we offer all portfolio companies. We believe the government’s statement in court today was primarily to undermine a defense of Tornado Cash—to make it more difficult for the defense to call Tom to testify on the stand. After all of this time—years later—bringing charges against Dragonfly would be outrageous, contrary to the facts and the law, and would induce a chilling effect onto all investment into crypto and privacy-preserving technologies in America. We don’t believe the DOJ would actually bring such absurd and groundless charges. But if they do, we intend to vigorously defend ourselves.

@EthMydas @brucefenton @protocol_fx What does the net price action look like on that over different time frames? Say 1yr, 3yr, 5 yr?

@brucefenton fETH from @protocol_fx is a flatcoin that takes 10% of the volatility of ETH. Meets all your criteria.

I want a “stablecoin” that: - is not tied to fiat - is not regulated in any way - cannot be frozen or stopped by tyrants - does not require AML KYC to use Why is this too much to ask for? Are we so beaten down that even asking for basic freedom seems extreme now? What a weird sad world that we, the supposed “cypherpunks” as an industry celebrate the government making sure the above can’t be done while pushing Bitcoin in to the rails of the system. It’s all illegitimate, all immoral all unethical. Money should be whatever the people want and with absolutely no state interference.
