Gluon
Prototype
DeFi
A protocol developed to strengthen (harden) existing stablecoins in the Ergo ecosystem, such as SigmaUSD.
Gluon is a protocol designed to enhance the stability and resilience of existing stablecoins like SigmaUSD. The project explores mechanisms for "hardening" algorithmic stablecoins against extreme market conditions and edge cases that can threaten peg stability.
The protocol investigates additional stability mechanisms that complement the AgeUSD design, potentially including enhanced liquidation processes, additional collateral types, or integration with other DeFi primitives. By strengthening the foundation of Ergo stablecoins, Gluon aims to increase user confidence and enable broader adoption.
Gluon represents ongoing research into sustainable stablecoin design on eUTXO blockchains. The project contributes to the ecosystem's understanding of decentralized monetary policy and helps identify improvements that can be incorporated into future versions of stablecoin protocols.
