I don’t get it. Not sure what to ask. I don’t understand how the value of your ecash is stabilized at the exchange.

How its done: financial engineering.

Benefit: “stable” value in synthetic USD.

This is important for a subset of customers who cannot afford to assume the short term volatility downside.

And what does financial engineering mean? 😏

Fugezi fugaziii

“To create the synthetic USD, Stablesats uses a financial instrument invented by the BitMEX cryptocurrency exchange called a perpetual inverse swap using perpetual futures contracts. Futures contracts are a type of agreement to buy or sell a specific asset (such as bitcoin) at a set future date for a set price. Perpetual futures contracts differ in that they are perpetual and don’t specify a future date.”

Example

In the words of Jack: “words”

That still doesn’t make sense. How does selling bitcoin at a future date at a set price stabilize your synthetic USD?

Yup, it’s not my world either. Maybe nostr:npub1flac02t5hw6jljk8x7mec22uq37ert8d3y3mpwzcma726g5pz4lsmfzlk6 can explain it to us

sounds like “printer go brrrrrr”

Backed by Bitcoin.. we do it in the right way...!

famous last words.

I’m not saying this is not legit, but I don’t understand the stabilization mechanism. Would love to see a plain English explanation without financial speak gobbledygook obfuscation.

Yes. Catchphrase, bandwagon, marketing lingo free pls. 👍

How does a user go from cold storage to ecash USD and back to cold storage ?

I need to build this stack to understand... i must build a mint/stablechannel stack asap. This is progress
