Thank you @VitalikButerin sharing his thoughts on better decentralized Stablecoin.
We’ve been thinking about the same 3 structural constraints while building @protocol_fx.
$fxUSD / $fETH is the final answers for it.
1️⃣ USD dependence
USD-tracking works short term, but long-term resilience needs independence from any single nation’s index.
Our approach:
• $fxUSD tracks USD today, but the f(x) invariant is not USD-native
• The invariant is expressed in collateral value, not USD assumptions
• USD is a coordination layer — not the system’s source of truth
Note: f(x) invariant :
Total collateral value =
fxUSD (longs − shorts) + xPOSITION (long leverage) + sPOSITION (short exposure)
We also explored a non-USD path via $fETH / $xETH, operating in ETH-native terms.
($fETH ≈ low-volatility floating ETH
if ETH +10% → $fETH +1%)
We thought ETH is the neutral unit of account we need on the long run. fETH is perfect stable for decentralized world. @VitalikButerin What do you think?
