Ethena is a synthetic dollar protocol built on Ethereum, offering a crypto-native solution for a stable currency independent of traditional banking infrastructure. It generates a stablecoin, USDe, which maintains its peg through a delta-hedging strategy involving staked Ethereum and short perpetual futures positions. This mechanism aims to provide a scalable and censorship-resistant digital dollar. Ethena also provides an internet bond, offering yield from its operations.
