MIM - Magic Internet Money, a stablecoin that just leans into the meme because the space is big enough to just ignore crypto/blockchain skeptics (and maxis) as you dont need buyin from them anymore to attract billions of dollars for validation. It competes with DAI, same system just natively crosschain (via AnySwap bridging function added to the erc20 class) and potentially maintains better collateral choices. Right now they use yield bearing collateral like liquidity pool shares which earn enough to reduce loan to value ratios and even pay interest on their own. In comparison, DAI was released in a world without onchain distributed asset backed securities and its users eventually picked completely centralized assets like USDC for collateral. This limits that communities’ risk tolerance for raising debt limits.
That part of your question about stablecoins doesn’t have much to do with a Proof of Stake though-a consensus model.
- chrisco255 5y agoDAI is still an extremely important in decentralized finance. It is simply easier to scale a centralized stable coin than a collateralized one as the collateralized one is less capital efficient. The centralized coin has different risk parameters though, such as a bank run scenario or the fact that USDC funds can be frozen at will by Circle.
- vmception 5y agoI didn't write that anything was wrong with any of the three assets mentioned I wrote how they compete on collateral choices which lets people predict their growth/issuance trajectory. MIM grows faster than DAI for a variety of reasons that DAI didn’t have when it launched, which is not likely that DAI can replicate now or at least not quickly.
