Gyroscope Explained

From TradFi currency pegs to non-custodial stablecoins — Following our work on modeling stablecoins here and here, we recently proposed ways to make more robust non-custodial stablecoins in our Gyroscope paper. This blog post is an intro to those ideas. The design insights are relatively simple, though their optimization is not. At the heart of the Gyroscope design…

In fact, this issue applies more broadly to synthetic and cross-chain assets. We…
