Minting Strategy
Pegbreaker Minting Strategy: Leveraging MakerDAO for Stability
Introduction
This document outlines the PegBreaker minting strategy, focusing on controlled DPG issuance, liquidity management, and price stability. The strategy leverages MakerDAO borrowing to create a robust mechanism for maintaining the $1 peg and pressuring DAI's stability.
Controlled DPG Minting Mechanism
Eligibility for Minting
Users can mint DPG 1:1 against DAI only if DAI's price is above $1 relative to USDC.
Minting is restricted to users who utilize the MakerDAO strategy, borrowing DAI at the maximum rate of 150% collateralization.
DAI Handling
The borrowed DAI is deposited into the PegBreaker treasury.
- Deposits auto-converted to USDC using the best pools on-chain (e.g., Uniswap).
- 90% of the USDC is added to liquidity pools.
- 10% of the USDC is allocated to the treasury to support price stabilization during downturns.
User Staking and Locking
The user's DPG is auto-staked and locked until the next epoch (e.g., weekly or monthly).
Users cannot request to unstake and receive DAI back, as this would counter the protocol?s
strategy.
The only option for users is to sell DPG in the liquidity pools.
Key Benefits of the Strategy
Price Stability: By requiring minting through MakerDAO, the protocol ensures that only highly
collateralized DAI enters the system, reducing risks.
Liquidity Support: Auto-conversion of DAI to USDC and allocation to liquidity pools strengthens
market depth and reduces slippage for trades.
Treasury Resilience: A portion of funds (10%) is reserved to support the DPG price during
downturns, ensuring peg stability.
Aligned Incentives: Users are incentivized to follow the protocols goals while reducing
circulating supply through staking and limiting immediate sell pressure.
Risk Mitigation and Enforcement
No Redemption of DAI: Users cannot redeem their DPG for DAI once minted, as this would contradict the protocols objective of pressuring DAI and maintaining DPG stability.
Market-Driven Selling: Users must sell DPG through the protocols liquidity pools, ensuring sell pressure contributes to market dynamics.
Controlled Minting Conditions: Minting is only allowed when DAI is above $1, ensuring that the protocol does not exacerbate price instability.
Auto-Staking Mechanism: Auto-staking and locking mechanisms prevent sudden liquidity withdrawals, fostering long-term stability.
Example Scenario
User Mints DPG: User borrows $10,000 DAI from MakerDAO at 150% collateralization and deposits it into PegBreaker.
DAI Conversion:
- The $10,000 DAI is auto-converted to USDC:
- $9,000 USDC is added to liquidity pools.
- $1,000 USDC is allocated to the treasury.
User Staking:
- The user receives 10,000 DPG, which is auto-staked and locked until the next epoch.
- The user cannot unstake and redeem DAI but can sell DPG through liquidity pools if desired.
Conclusion
The PegBreaker minting strategy ensures sustainable DPG issuance, supports liquidity, and maintains price stability while aligning user incentives with the protocol?s goals. By leveraging MakerDAO, the strategy creates a robust mechanism to maintain the $1 peg and achieve long-term ecosystem resilience.
