- Collateral
- Over-collateralized productive DeFi collateral, including Curve Finance LP tokens, Pendle PTs, and other yield-bearing or LP positions from protocols such as Curve, Convex, Stake DAO, and Spectra; current collateral exposure is materially tied to stablecoin LP routes, including USDC-paired pools.
- Peg Mechanism
- USG has no collateral redemption path. Tangent targets the peg with Peg Keeper contracts, price-dependent reward deductions, and dynamic interest: HEC borrowers can be interest-free while USG stays above each market's threshold but lose more collateral rewards as USG falls, while LEC borrowers pay price-dependent interest immediately.
- Jurisdiction
- Not disclosed in the static profile.
