    Stablecoins have advanced as a new iteration on cryptocurrencies, enabling to address such issues as high volatility and interactions with legacy financial systems.Today I’m sharing the interview with Slava Mikhalkin — IT Manager and #blockchain architect in PLATINUM ENGINEERING, who helped deploy dozens of DLT-based success stories. Smart contracts Slava’s team develops quickly turn into industry best practices. He shares his opinion about USDQ, a unique fully decentralized stablecoin for easy Bitcoin collateralization. Slava is certain that blockchain will disrupt finance as we know it. He goes raw on USDQ’s inner working, telling it all.So, let’s look into real-life use cases for Q DAO.Slava Mikhalkin — IT Manager and blockchain architect in PLATINUM ENGINEERING.

    Stablecoins in 2019 (Are we are not there yet ?)Traditional e-money still dominatesIn 2017 USDT (Tether USD) is no doubt an undeniable market dominant. A year later — 2018 there were a bit more than several dozen projects reported. As of 2019, there are now more than two hundred of them. Some projects out of the “first pack” have already shut down, some are for the time being are still only #news of intentions, but it can be safely said that at least hundreds of stablecoin projects are at different stages of development now.As for the stablecoins that are in production and live, those traded on the exchanges, there isn’t much to track as well.

    A Stablecoin like USDT-Tron could be something special for the Crypto EcosystemThe professional feud between the #tron Foundation’s founder, Justin Sun, and Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin is well-known. The full ‘battle’ can be read here on Chepicap or ToshiTimes. Depending on your philosophy, it seems like Justin appears to be winning on the surface. With USDT-Tron’s official launch be tomorrow, can a stablecoin put Tron (TRX) far ahead of its competition?Justin has said that Tron’s primary goal was to surpass Ethereum in dapps and smart contracts. So far, Sun has put several things in place including acquiring BitTorrent, launch several projects and partnering with several major players in the industry. In a tweet, Justin announces that Tron possesses 267,000 Dapp users at that time with 16236 (...)

    Stablecoins are a large part of the discussion in crypto-land, and probably for good reason. They currently represent ~2% of the whole market capitalization of cryptoassets, which unarguably puts them in the Top-5 clusters in the cryptoasset space (alongside currencies, smart contract platforms, privacy coins and exchange tokens) — an impressive feat, no less. Their utility is beyond any question, as in a universe of highly volatile assets, they stand out as a plausible solution to a huge adoption hurdle. As such, many have put stablecoins front and centre when considering what the key pivots that trigger the next wave of adoption, might be.The cluster’s ecosystem has developed significantly over the crypto-winter (especially from 4Q2018 onwards), with new entrants challenging for Tether’s (...)

    Stablecoins are typically regulated and are pegged 1:1 to U.S. dollar (or other major fiat). Fiat reserves are audited by third party. Stablecoins provide relief from cryptos’ volatile prices.

Innovation may bring new tech to forefront, but creative solutions can nonetheless be based on age-old practices.Cryptocurrencies designate ownership of funds via private keys: software code that are crucial in design of programmable monies.

    When JP Morgan announced the launch of its very own stablecoin, the industry was somewhat shocked. Was this not the big bank that loathed cryptocurrencies? The move got people excited, both in traditional banking and in the #crypto community. But is the JPM Coin really as big a deal as everyone seems to think it is.Naturally, the industry pricks up its ears when JP Morgan speaks, and any of its previous explorations of the blockchain have produced similar interest. As Ben Jessel, head of enterprise blockchain at Kadena remarks, “In the last few weeks, blockchain innovation managers’ phones across Wall Street investment banks have been ringing with executives inquiring about JP Morgan’s stablecoin and how they should be responding.”That’s because enterprise blockchain technology has been the (...)

There were a lot of new projects, smart people, money and surprises (for example ▻https://medium.com/basis-blog/basis-update-ae96e3565b1d) in both areas. I find it encouraging and ironic at the same time. Encouraging because the crypto-world realized that in order to have mass adoption of the blockchain technology, it has to be more predictable, civilized, regulated and compliant. It’s ironic for the same reasons: the technology that was originally created as an alternative to the existing financial and monetary systems now has to comply with the existing financial rules and regulations (security tokens) and accept the government-endorsed, fiat (...)

    DAI — a decentralized opposition to the ‘banking cartel’ of stablecoins accumulates 1.7 million ETH in reservesNot without an ample dose of skepticism, 2018 can indeed be referred to as the year of the stablecoin. Amid total backlash against Tether, and yet high demand for stable cryptocurrency as a means of settlement, a growing cohort of stable coin solutions were rolled out to the market. These appear to be the stablecoins that enjoy most credibility among crypto exchanges today: Paxos Standard PAX, Gemini GUSD, Circle USDC, Carbon CUSD, TrustToken’s TUSD. Yet, it’s safe to say that none of the above products is truly decentralized, essentially being more of a token with the right to claim a fiat USD equivalent stored in a centralized storage (most often on a bank account).What it means is (...)

    Types of Stablecoins:A few popular stablecoin tracking sites have their own unique approaches to categorizing the various types of stablecoins, but for this article I’m going to use my own approach to classifying stablecoins.Most decentralized stablecoin monetary systems fall into one of two design categories: collateralized and non-collateralized economies. But if we want to gain a better understanding of how these non-fiat backed stablecoins actually work we can divide them into 4primary sub-types: elastic supply, bond-redemption, collateralized debt position and self-collateralized stablecoins.

    https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*VNwFIslTBJCH52Fnd9jgOg.jpeg

    Crypto-collateralized stablecoins lock crypto-assets such as ETH as collateral — with a significantly higher value — to back their stable tokens. This way, whenever the backing crypto-asset loses value to lower levels than the value of stable tokens, the peg is broken and the system collapses as a consequence. Accordingly, many people believe stablecoins of the kind are like ticking bombs and can be detonated at any moment.However, a brief review of market prices during the last year reveals that the most prominent crypto-collateralized stablecoin #dai has firmly maintained its peg even at times when Ether — the crypto-asset backing it — lost value to one-tenth comparing to its peak price. So, the argument presented in paragraph one seems to be far from true.Are we missing something?In fact, it is (...)

    2018 has seen a huge increase in stablecoin projects as everyone seems to be trying to dethrone #tether (USDT) at this point. But why the sudden interest and what are the difference between them? Here are my initial thoughts on the topic:What are Stablecoins?Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies which are pegged to an asset that has a stable value such as gold or fiat money (USD). For example Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin designed to be pegged to $1USD for each of its coin. How it does this depends on the stablecoin’s design.Why The Sudden Growth in Stablecoins?In my opinion the sudden growth in stablecoins is attributable to:The Volatility in the Crypto MarketPeople realize that if they wish to use crypto as a way of transferring money or purchasing goods it is not possible if the value of (...)

    Why first-generation cryptocurrencies, like #bitcoin or Ether, can not be widespread among people, but, stablecoins can.Cryptocurrencies, unlike government money, are currently mere assets with a constant risk of gaining or losing their value; as a result, they can not be a sound, trustworthy way to store value or to be exchanged for other goods and services.

On the other hand, a buyer might spend some Bitcoin, Ether, or other cryptocurrencies to purchase something and then, figure out prices have skyrocketed in just a few days, and feel a great deal of remorse.The majority of the population would set aside no more than a (...)

    ICOs raised $5.6 billion in 2017 and this was enough for Ether’s price to explode and experience a 100x growth in this year. ICOs were the first killer application of #ethereum. The huge demand for Ether, by investors who wanted to participate in ICOs, drove up Ether’s price exponentially. But where will the next huge demand for Ether come from? What will be the next killer application of Ethereum? In my opinion, stablecoins will be the next killer application pushing for an explosion in Ether price. Let’s see why.Three Types: One Viable OptionThere are three types of stablecoins today: Fiat-collateralized, crypto-collateralized, and non-collateralized. The only ones proven to be reliable and fully decentralized are crypto-collateralized stablecoins. Fiat-collateralized stablecoins aren’t (...)
