On-chain stablecoins are digital currencies whose value is algorithmically or collateral-backed and whose issuance and redemption processes are transparently recorded on a public blockchain. These assets are designed to maintain a stable value relative to a fiat currency or other assets, operating directly on a distributed ledger. Their operations are fully auditable and verifiable.
Context

Debates often focus on their collateralization mechanisms, decentralization levels, and resistance to regulatory interference. Their continued adoption impacts the broader digital asset ecosystem by providing a reliable medium of exchange.
