Waves Exchange Launched Decentralized Staking Interface with Stablecoin Support

*LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / January 30, 2020 /* Waves.Exchange, a hybrid crypto asset exchange platform built into the Waves blockchain, added decentralized staking support for Neutrino dollar (USDN) on January 28, 2020.

As a non-custodial staking solution, Waves.Exchange users are now able to benefit from regular staking rewards, while still retaining full ownership of their funds. This completely risk-free approach makes cryptocurrency staking more accessible than ever before.

The first asset available for staking on the platform is the Neutrino dollar, an algorithmically stable USD-pegged asset that is collateralized with WAVES, the crypto asset that fuels the Waves blockchain platform. Built on the open-source Neutrino protocol, USDN is designed to provide WAVES holders with a way to exit volatility, while opening up additional revenue streams, including staking.

As it stands, the estimated annual yield for staked USDN sits at more than 13%, though this can vary based on the WAVES token capitalization.

To achieve stability, Neutrino uses an algorithm to automatically mint USDN if the WAVES price increases. This is stored in a special reserve fund which will be used to cover the exchange rate difference should WAVES decrease again in the future. This process is assisted by a network of oracles that feed price information to the neutrino smart contract.

If this coverage is insufficient, the smart contract will instead generate a type of bond token, known as USD-NB which can be bought at the current market rate on Waves.Exchange with USDN. This USDN will be used to correct the market deficit, whereas USD-NB can be liquidated based on first-in, first-out (FIFO) principles to help correct the value of USDN.

Since USD-NB can be traded at a floating exchange rate, the bond token also presents an attractive financial instrument for high-risk traders, as USD-NB purchased at below USD parity can be later redeemed to USDN at a 1:1 rate. For example, even if 10 USD-NB are purchased for 8 USDN, these 10 USD-NB can later be liquidated to 10 USDN, a trade that would yield 25% profit.

Unlike many other stablecoins, Neutrino operates with absolute transparency, since the Neutrino smart contract and associated addresses can be freely audited on the public blockchain-essentially eliminating concerns faced by other stablecoins, including suspicions surrounding incomplete backing and delayed emission.
