Fedimint Stability Pool Proposal
This module adds "stability pool" functionality to Fedimint. The stability pool allows users to "lock" in the US dollar value of their ecash for a fee.
- This feature is targeted towards users who are not willing to tolerate bitcoin's price volatility, but still wish to utilize Fedimint and the wider Bitcoin financial system.
- Under normal working conditions, seekers can expect to maintain the US dollar value of their ecash minus some fee which is paid periodically to providers as a charge for this service.
- The stability works through hedging, where stability seekers are going 1x short bitcoin and the stability providers are going long to take the other side. In both cases, bitcoin is the collateral they offer to take on these positions. The collateral seekers put up is always equal to their position but the collateral providers put up is a configurable parameter.
