1 UST is always redeemable for $1 worth of $LUNA, just as 1 bnUSD is always redeemable for $1 worth of $ICX (+/- rebalancing threshold). When @BalancedDAO adds more collateral types, bnUSD becomes a multi-asset UST. Redeem 1 bnUSD for your choice of various cryptos.

Many ask how @BalancedDAO and @ommfinance will be able to take users from ETH ecosystem, but that market is tiny. A better question is how will we grow the pie, how will we take users from traditional banking. Bridge is the answer $ICX #ICONProject
How do you convert a million new users to DeFi? By making it easy to convert Crypto to fiat and vice versa! Bridge creates a seamless UX for $ICX DApps & hides everything Blockchain related. Non-Crypto users don't care about underlying Tech. All they want is the best UX! πŸ‘

A bond mechanism is coming to ICON P-Rep nodes, similar to how @tezos nodes must bond $XTZ. More about why this matters below πŸ‘‡ TLDR: P-Rep nodes have a much stronger incentive to hold and stake ICX.

Key takeaway of this thread? $BALN is not some useless token, you become part of the Decentralized Bank of ICON. Join @BalancedDAO and help shape the future of finance. The more you contribute to the project, the greater impact you'll have. $ICX #ICONProject #DAO #DeFi

IBC was designed to bridge two cosmos chains. It does NOT work with the greater crypto sphere out of the box. It is possible using a shim layer of some kind, but that creates more complexity and security concerns as each chain is implemented. This is why IBC is NOT chain agnostic

How do you encourage ICX holders to unstake, many for the very first time? You build a system that helps them do even more with their investment. Balanced is a one-stop shop for ICX holders. That’s why it’s the decentralized bank of ICON. $ICX $BALN #DeFi #DeFiForTheRestOfUs

Almost 4M $bnUSD minted in a day, 1% fee to @BalancedDAO . I love to see economics and game theory in action. $BALN holders voted to lower collateral requirements and this resulted in an immediate network fee boost. DAO members vote in their best interest, and it worked.

Altruistic rebalancing: Rebalancing will only be triggered by a smart contract owned by the Balanced DAO, not outside arb traders/users. This means all arbitrage profits will be returned to borrowers as a rebate, further lowering the impact rebalancing has on borrowers

Balanced gives $ICX a new role: collateral for synthetic assets, like Balanced Dollars. bnUSD is always worth 1 USD, so it’s suitable for payments, grants, and as the default currency for apps on the ICON Network. The more it’s used, the more ICX is removed from circulation...
