How the System Balances

  1. Liquidity Provision:

  • Earn depositors supply stablecoins, incentivized by high yields

  • These stablecoins are used to purchase ERC20 tokens, creating liquidity for borrowers

  1. Price Discovery:

  • ERC20 sellers can sell tokens slightly above market rate

  • The arbitrage opportunity attracts sellers, ensuring a steady supply of tokens

  • Competition among sellers naturally stabilizes prices close to market rates

  1. Borrowing Demand:

  • Attractive loan terms drive demand from borrowers

  • Borrowers' repayments in stablecoins flow back to Earn depositors

  1. Yield Generation:

  • Borrower repayments and fees generate yield for Earn depositors

  • High yields attract more stablecoin deposits, completing the cycle
