ERD, le protocole DeFi, lance un protocole de cryptomonnaie stable USDE avant la campagne de minage

Ethereum Reserve Dollar

Ethereum Reserve Dollar ( ERD ), le protocole de prêt décentralisé, a lancé aujourd’hui son protocole de cryptomonnaie stable ( stablecoin ) USDE après pratiquement un an de développement du projet. ERD est une plateforme de prêt qui permet aux utilisateurs d’emprunter des USDE, une cryptomonnaie stable arrimée au dollar US et native de la plateforme, en utilisant comme collatéraux des dérivés de staking liquide (LSD pour liquid staking derivatives ) et des jetons DeFi (de finance décentralisée) qui sont des valeurs sûres. Le protocole maintient un ratio de collatéralisation minimum de 110 %, ce qui permet un équilibre entre la décentralisation, l’efficacité en termes de capital et la stabilité monétaire. Dans le monde effervescent de la blockchain et des cryptomonnaies, il existe une demande croissante pour les cryptomonnaies stables entièrement décentralisées. Le défi consistait à obtenir une combinaison d’efficacité en termes de capital, de stabilité monétaire et de décentralisation, ce qui a été une tâche ardue. De nombreuses tentatives ont été faites pour créer des cryptomonnaies stables qui soient à la fois décentralisées et efficaces en termes de capital. Mais ces efforts ont souvent entraîné d’importantes variations des cours, ce qui a provoqué le désarrimage des cryptomonnaies et leur effondrement. Le secteur a donc dû choisir entre l’efficacité en termes de capital et la décentralisation, la stabilité monétaire étant une exigence fondamentale pour l’adoption de toute cryptomonnaie stable. Ethereum Reserve Dollar a été conçu pour répondre à ces défis. Le protocole ERD est entièrement décentralisé et offre ainsi une solution plus sûre que les cryptomonnaies stables centralisées et semi-centralisées qui prédominent sur le marché. Le protocole s’appuie sur des rachats instantanés pour maintenir la parité monétaire et sécurise les prêts grâce à un pool de stabilité contenant des USDE, ce qui permet une liquidation immédiate et évite aux liquidateurs de devoir préparer des liquidités ou de s’engager dans un processus d’enchères complexe. L’équipe d’ERD utilise également les principes de la théorie financière moderne pour créer une cryptomonnaie stable plus résistante. Dès son lancement, le protocole ERD prend en charge les LSD comme collatéral. Cependant, le projet sera le premier protocole de prêt à introduire un soutien de collatéraux pour un panier de « altcoins » DeFi de premier plan dans sa mise à jour qui aura lieu au premier trimestre 2024. Cet ajout vise à transformer le $USDE en une cryptomonnaie stable indexée qui reflète la dynamique du marché du grand écosystème DeFi, tirant ainsi parti de la diversification afin de réduire l’exposition à la volatilité du cours d’un seul collatéral. L’équipe du protocole ERD retarde particulièrement le lancement d’un jeton représentant la part de gouvernance dans le projet ( token governance ) pour s’atteler en premier lieu au développement et à l’expansion d’un protocole durable. Cela contraste fortement avec les pratiques courantes dans le secteur, qui sont connues pour lancer des campagnes de collecte de fonds en phase initiale s’articulant autour des jetons de gouvernance aux dépends de la santé de l’écosystème à long terme. « Le secteur est toujours à la recherche d’une solution viable répondant au besoin d’une réserve de valeur stable sur la chaîne qui observe le principe fondamental de la technologie blockchain, à savoir la décentralisation », a déclaré Steve Hopkins, directeur du marketing d’ERD. « ERD est intrinsèquement et indéniablement une solution conçue pour devenir un actif de réserve véritablement décentralisé sur le réseau Ethereum. Nous pensons que le protocole ERD représente une avancée significative dans la blockchain et la technologie DeFi. Nous sommes ravis de le partager avec le monde entier. » Après le lancement réussi de son protocole de prêt décentralisé, l’équipe d’ERD lancera une campagne de minage de deux semaines le 7 décembre 2023. Les mineurs, les déposants du pool de stabilité et les membres actifs de la communauté s’affronteront pour gagner des points, qui seront enregistrés et pris en compte à une date ultérieure. Pour en savoir plus sur le protocole ERD et le calendrier des événements à venir, vous pouvez suivre le projet sur Twitter à l’adresse @Ethereum_ERD.

ERD vise à lutter contre la prédominance des cryptomonnaies stables centralisées et à offrir une alternative réellement décentralisée et efficace en termes de capital. Parmi les avantages du protocole ERD, citons les taux d’intérêt variables faibles, une grande efficacité en termes de capital, des rachats directs et la décentralisation. Il a pour but de devenir un actif de réserve véritablement décentralisé sur le réseau Ethereum. Contact Details Steve Hopkins official@erd.xyz Company Website https://www.erd.xyz/

DeFi-Protokoll ERD startet USDE-Stablecoin-Protokoll vor Beginn der Mining-Kampagne

Ethereum Reserve Dollar

Ethereum Reserve Dollar ( ERD ), das dezentrale Kreditprotokoll, hat heute nach fast einjähriger Entwicklungszeit sein USDE-Stablecoin-Protokoll gestartet. ERD ist eine Kreditplattform, die es Nutzern ermöglicht, USDE, einen an den USD gebundenen Stablecoin, zu leihen, indem Liquid Staking Derivatives (LSDs) und Blue-Chip-DeFi-Token als Sicherheiten verwendet werden. Das Protokoll sieht eine Mindestbesicherungsquote von 110 % vor und erzielt damit ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Dezentralisierung, Kapitaleffizienz und Preisstabilität. In der schnelllebigen Welt der Blockchain und Kryptowährungen wächst die Nachfrage nach vollständig dezentralisierten Stablecoins. Die Herausforderung lag darin, zeitgleich Kapitaleffizienz, Preisstabilität und Dezentralisierung zu erreichen - eine Kombination, die sich als schwierig erwiesen hat. Es wurden zahlreiche Versuche unternommen, Stablecoins zu entwickeln, die sowohl dezentralisiert als auch kapitaleffizient sind. Diese Bemühungen führten jedoch häufig zu erheblichen Preisschwankungen, was Depegging und Zusammenbruch zur Folge hatten. Die Branche steht somit vor der Wahl zwischen Kapitaleffizienz und Dezentralisierung, wobei Preisstabilität eine Grundvoraussetzung für die Einführung eines Stablecoins ist. Der Ethereum Reserve Dollar ist darauf ausgerichtet, sich diesen Herausforderungen anzunehmen. Das ERD-Protokoll ist vollständig dezentralisiert und bietet somit eine sicherere Lösung für überwiegend zentralisierte und semizentralisierte Stablecoins auf dem Markt. Es nutzt sofortige Rückzahlungen, um Preisparität zu wahren und sichert Kredite mit einem Stabilitätspool, der USDE enthält. So wird eine sofortige Liquidation ermöglicht und die Notwendigkeit für Liquidatoren vermieden, Liquidität vorzubereiten oder ein komplexes Auktionsverfahren durchzuführen. Darüber hinaus nutzt das ERD-Team die Grundsätze der modernen Finanztheorie, um einen widerstandsfähigeren Stablecoin zu schaffen. Bei der erstmaligen Einführung unterstützt das ERD-Protokoll LSDs als zusätzliche Sicherheiten. Dennoch wird das Projekt das erste Kreditprotokoll sein, das bei seinem Upgrade im ersten Quartal 2024 Sicherheiten für einen Korb der wichtigsten DeFi-Altcoins einführt. Mit dieser Ergänzung soll USDE in einen indexgestützten Stablecoin umgewandelt werden, der die Marktdynamik des umfassenderen DeFi-Ökosystems widerspiegelt und so die Diversifizierung nutzt, um die Abhängigkeit von der Preisvolatilität einzelner Sicherheiten zu verringern. Nennenswert ist, dass das ERD-Team die Einführung eines Governance-Tokens verzögert, um sich zunächst auf die nachhaltige Protokollentwicklung und -erweiterung zu konzentrieren. Dies steht in krassem Gegensatz zu den üblichen Praktiken der Branche, die für Fundraising-Kampagnen in der Frühphase bekannt sind und sich auf Kosten der langfristigen Gesundheit des Ökosystems auf Governance-Token konzentrieren. „Die Branche ist nach wie vor auf der Suche nach einer praktikablen Lösung für einen stabilen Speicher für die Wertekette, der den Kerngedanken der Blockchain-Technologie - die Dezentralisierung – aufrechterhält“, erklärte Steve Hopkins, CMO von ERD. „ERD ist dies und noch viel mehr; es ist eine Lösung, die entwickelt wurde, um zu einem durch und durch dezentralen Reserve-Asset im Ethereum-Netzwerk zu werden. Wir sind der Meinung, dass ERD einen bedeutenden Schritt in Richtung Blockchain- und DeFi-Technologie darstellt. Wir freuen uns darauf, es mit der Welt zu teilen.“ Nach der erfolgreichen Einführung des dezentralen Kreditprotokolls wird das ERD-Team am 7. Dezember 2023 eine zweiwöchige Mining-Kampagne starten. Miner, Einzahler in den Stabilitätspool und aktive Community-Mitglieder kämpfen um Punkte, die aufgezeichnet und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt berücksichtigt werden. Für weitere Informationen über das ERD-Protokoll und den kommenden Veranstaltungsplan folgen Sie dem Projekt auf Twitter unter @Ethereum_ERD. Erleben Sie die dezentrale Kreditplattform, die für die Ungewissheiten von morgen errichtet wurde, unter https://app.erd.xyz.

ERD beabsichtigt, der Dominanz zentralisierter Stablecoins entgegenzuwirken und eine durch und durch dezentralisierte, kapitaleffiziente Alternative anzubieten. Das Protokoll überzeugt unter anderem mit niedrigen variablen Zinssätzen, hoher Kapitaleffizienz, direkten Abzahlungen sowie Dezentralisierung. Ziel ist es, zu einem rundum dezentralisierten Reserve-Asset im Ethereum-Netzwerk zu werden. Contact Details Steve Hopkins official@erd.xyz Company Website https://www.erd.xyz/
