What’s Behind the Stability of $STAR?
Curious how Preon’s stablecoin, $STAR, maintains its value in a volatile market? 🤔
Spoiler: it’s more than just a stablecoin.
$STAR is fortified by a system designed to secure its peg & safeguard user assets.
Let's discover the burning core of $STAR 🌟
Stablecoins are a mainstay DeFi offering, and one of crypto's biggest use cases.
And $STAR, Preon’s stablecoin, plays a pivotal role in the Preon and @SphereDeFi ecosystems 💜
To maintain the stablecoin's defining principle, its stability, a reliable stablecoin peg is crucial.
But what makes $STAR so resilient? ⏬
The answer lies in:
1⃣ Its overcollateralization model
2⃣ A system built to protect user assets
Let's talk about the backbone of $STAR's peg stability: overcollateralization.
$STAR is overcollateralized to ensure stability and reliability.
Every $STAR minted is backed by at least 110% collateral locked in Preon’s Nebula Vaults.
This means that for each 1 $STAR issued, there’s at least $1.10 in collateral supporting it, ensuring that $STAR remains stable even under market instability.
In practice, $STAR is currently overcollateralized by over 220%, with more than $2.20 in collateral for each $STAR minted.
This additional collateral acts as a buffer, safeguarding $STAR’s peg and protecting against potential volatility 🦾
Now, let's get into how Preon adds another layer of peg strength through LTV ratios.
To keep $STAR stable, borrowers in the Preon ecosystem must manage their Loan-to-Value ratios.
A higher LTV ratio allows borrowers to leverage more assets, but it also brings higher risk.
If a loan’s LTV exceeds a safe limit, the position becomes susceptible to liquidation to protect the overall collateral backing $STAR.
The Nebula Vault also has an LTV threshold; if it surpasses this maximum, the system activates recovery mode.
This enables liquidation of positions above approximately 72% LTV.
These safeguards help maintain the security and peg stability of $STAR 🌟
This just leaves one final piece of the puzzle: additional support through the Peg Stability Module 👩🚀
In addition to collateral, $STAR can also be backed 1:1 by other decentralized stablecoins, like $LUSD.
This can be done via the PSM.
While this mechanism plays a minor role compared to the primary collateral backing, it serves as an added layer of stability to ensure that $STAR holds its peg under various conditions.
As you can see, $STAR was built with security in mind ✅
Safety is central to Preon’s approach.
