Stablecoins with technical vulnerabilities may not inherently possess on-chain automatic compensation mechanisms. While some decentralized stablecoins, like DAI or LUSD, use smart contracts for automated liquidation or stabilization, these primarily maintain pegs, not compensate losses from exploits. Algorithmic stablecoins, such as TerraUSD (UST), have shown vulnerabilities leading to depegging without built-in compensation. Fiat-backed stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC) rely on off-chain reserves and lack on-chain compensation protocols. On-chain systems could theoretically include automated compensation via governance tokens or insurance pools, but this is rare and complex due to smart contract risks. No major stablecoin currently guarantees automatic on-chain compensation for technical breaches, as it requires predefined triggers and robust tokenomics, which most lack. Users typically bear losses unless issuers intervene manually, often subject to legal or regulatory constraints.
