Synthetic stablecoins are digital assets designed to maintain a stable value relative to a target asset, often a fiat currency, without directly holding the underlying asset in reserve. Instead, they achieve stability through a combination of complex financial instruments, such as collateralized debt positions, derivatives, or algorithmic mechanisms. These stablecoins replicate the price movement of the pegged asset using various on-chain and off-chain strategies. They offer capital efficiency and censorship resistance as core properties.
