HAI — A decentralized and overcollateralized stablecoin on Optimism
Ever heard the saying “Don’t get high on your own supply”?
Well, HAI flips that on its head
Use LSTs & OP native assets as collateral to get HAI — a decentralized and overcollateralized stablecoin
Ready to get HAI? Let’s dive in
1/ Introduction to @letsgethai
Largest CDP protocol on #Optimism
Where you can deposit collateral like WETH, wstETH, rETH, OP, etc., and take a loan in HAI
Over 45% of TVL across all CDPs on OP is in HAI Vaults
2/ HAI An over-collateralized CDP-minted stablecoin
Has a diverse collateral base including LSDs & other tokens
Uses a floating peg, unlike USDC/USDT, which are hard pegged to the $
The peg is set by a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller to induce stability
3/ HAI has two important prices
• Market Price (MP): What people are paying for HAI in the market
- Redemption Price (RP): What the HAI system believes HAI should be worth, initially $1
4/ HAI mechanics
The system uses a smart PI controller to adjust HAI’s value
If MP > RP
The system sets a negative interest rate, making it cheaper to owe HAI over time
This encourages selling HAI to stabilize the price
5/
If MP < RP
The system sets a positive interest rate, making it more expensive to owe HAI over time
This prompts buying HAI to pay off debts, pushing the price up
6/
These adjustments help keep HAI’s value close to $1, balancing supply and demand
Basically, HAI’s smart controller tweaks interest rates based on market conditions to keep its value stable
HAI is a multi-collateral fork of RAI @reflexerfinance with the same basic mechanics
7/ Simplified
The market price of HAI can’t deviate from the RP for too long due to smart incentives
- If the price is too high, people borrow and sell HAI
- If the price is too low, borrowers buy back HAI
This helps keep HAI’s value stable and in line with its target RP
8/
Ensuring that it remains a reliable and predictable stablecoin
Users must carefully manage HAI minting
If collateral value drops too much, it can be seized and sold in a collateral auction to protect HAI’s value and ensure confidence in the protocol
9/ KITE
Governance token for ensuring a decentralized and community-driven approach
KITE holders can vote on system changes and the protocol’s development, like adding/removing collateral types
10/ Plus, HAI boasts the best dapp design in the game
It’s user-friendly and efficient
Easy to deposit collateral and take out loans
Check it out for yourself and get HAI on your own supply
