What is mStable?

mStable unites stablecoins, lending and swapping into one standard..

Three major problems confront stablecoin users:

• significant fragmentation in same-peg assets

• lack of native yield when it is being increasingly demanded by users

• lack of protection against permanent capital loss

Our products (SWAP, SAVE and EARN) are built specifically to address these pain-points.

​mStable assets represent some underlying value peg and are minted/redeemed on-chain via smart contracts. mASSETS are backed 1:1 by a basket of existing tokenised same-base assets (hereafter bASSETS).

Each mASSET is a liquidity share for its asset pool as well as a medium of exchange, unit of account and store of value in its own right.

Each mASSET has an outsized native interest rate that is derived from lending bASSETS on third party lending protocols combined with fees collected from mStable's SWAP product.

Users can swap between bASSETS with zero price slippage, regardless of order size. For example, in mUSD, uses are able to swap 1 DAI for 1 USDC at no cost, except gas and a small fee.

Those who hold Meta can stake their tokens to become governors, allowing them to participate in governance of the system. In order to achieve long-term value of Meta, these governors are motivated to seek stability through the diversification and growth of mStable.

Characteristics

• Easy - mStable is a one-stop solution for stablecoin users.

• Robust - Collateral is diversified, exterior to the system and ultimately secured by Meta.

• Stable - mStable's liquidity shares are tokenized assets in their own right.

• Decentralized - Meta embeds the incentives required to govern a decentralized system.

• Built for Rapid Scaling - 25% of Meta is emitted in a bootstrapping rewards pool.

Use cases

• Yield and Return

  • mASSETS earn an outsized yield (interest + swap fees). See SAVE.

  • mStable is built so that those that use it or contribute to its growth are rewarded for doing so. See Meta Rewards.

• Traders & Arbitrageurs

  • Significant arbitrage opportunities will exist using mStable's Zero Slippage Swaps. See SWAP.

• Stablecoin Users

  • mStable issues assets that are more secure than the sum of their parts. Each mASSET diversifies risk between different asset issuers and stability mechanisms. The system itself is effectively over-collateralised due to each mASSET being ultimately backed by Meta. See EARN.

• SDK Integrations

  • mStable allows dApps to accept several assets while presenting them in a more secure and user friendly way. This product is yet to be built, but may have potential applications for DeFi dApps and crypto exchanges.
