It achieves its peg through a delta-neutral hedging strategy, pairing staked Ethereum as collateral with corresponding short positions in ETH perpetual futures contracts. This mechanism aims to provide a scalable and censorship-resistant stablecoin solution for the cryptocurrency market. It seeks to offer a yield-bearing digital dollar.
