👋Welcome DCNTRL Network Community! We recently launched USDEFI our new BNB-backed stablecoin on BNB Chain, and today we’ll share a user guide with you that’ll help you understand our stability pool. Keep reading to find out how you can start earning from your USDEFI tokens as soon as you mint them.

What is the Stability Pool?

The Stability Pool is a cornerstone of the DCNTRL Protocol, serving as a multi-faceted mechanism designed to maintain the stability and integrity of the $USDEFI stablecoin. It acts as a financial buffer, absorbing the impact of market volatility and ensuring that the $USDEFI token remains pegged to the U.S. dollar.

How It Works

When users mint $USDEFI by depositing BNB as collateral, they always have to supply a minimum of 110% collateralization. This means that for every $100 of BNB supplied a user could borrow a maximum of $90 of USDEFI. It is important to remember that given the nature of the crypto market there is always a risk that the value of BNB could fall, potentially destabilizing the $USDEFI token.

The Stability Pool acts as a safeguard against this risk. It holds a reserve of $USDEFI tokens staked by users, which can be used to absorb bad debt or liquidate under-collateralized positions, thereby maintaining the protocol’s overall health.

Liquidation Process

When a user’s collateral ratio falls below a certain threshold, their position is at risk of being liquidated. The Stability Pool steps in by using its staked $USDEFI to cover the debt, thereby preventing a cascading series of liquidations that could destabilize the entire system.

Why It’s Important

In a volatile market, the Stability Pool serves as the backbone of the DCNTRL Protocol, ensuring that $USDEFI remains a reliable and stable asset. When a $USDEFI position is liquidated, the Stability Pool uses its staked $USDEFI to cover the bad debt. In return, the stakers earn a portion of the liquidated BNB collateral and DCNX tokens as rewards. These rewards are proportional to the amount of $USDEFI you’ve staked in the pool.

The Stability Pool is engineered to minimize risks for stakers. While it’s true that stakers risk losing some $USDEFI if a position is liquidated at a collateral ratio below 100%, the protocol has multiple layers of security measures to prevent this from happening, such as Recovery Mode and secondary liquidation mechanisms.

Step 4: Depositing $USDEFI into the Stability Pool

Enter the amount of $USDEFI you wish to stake.

Click on the ‘Confirm’ button to initiate a transaction request.

Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Step 5: Earning Rewards

After staking, you’ll start earning Liquidation Fees in BNB and bonus DCNX rewards. These rewards accumulate automatically and can be claimed at any time.

Although the DCNX rewards accrue every minute, the value on the UI only updates when a user transacts with the Stability Pool. Therefore you may receive more rewards than is displayed when you claim or adjust your deposit.

Tips and Best Practices

Always keep an eye on your collateral ratio to avoid liquidation.
It’s recommended to keep the collateral ratio above 150% for safety.

You can adjust your collateral ratio by adding more BNB or repaying some of your $USDEFI debt.
