Synthetix’s sUSD depegging due to governance upgrade and loss of incentives

A new report by the analysis company on the Parsec chain maintains that the recent gives off the Synthetix stablecoin SUDD is not the result of poor debt or a protocol failure – but a direct consequence of upgrading of SIP -420 governance.

The Stablecoin, designed to maintain a price at $ 1, is Currently negotiate nearly $ 0.90.

According to Parsec analysis, this slide started shortly after the implementation of the SIP-420, a proposal intended to rationalize stimulation and improve the effectiveness of capital through the synthetix (SNX) Protocol.

The SIP-420 introduced a ignition pool belonging to a protocol, replacing the previous system where individual SNX holders struck Susd and managed their own debt positions.

As part of the new model, stakers delegate to a shared debt pool, allowing a lower guarantee ratio – from 500% to 200% – and a more simplified user experience. However, he also removed the individual incentive to defend the PEG.

“Stakers have no skin in the game when susp exchange of PEG”, the report note. “There is no incentive to buy it cheap and remove the debt – because it is no longer your debt.”

Fonds in the shared pool

Parsec highlighted a wave of more than $ 80 million in SNX entering the shared basin and an infinex promotional campaign as catalysts that have considerably extended the SUSD offer. Some curve pools are now made up of more than 90% SUSD, with little demand to absorb excess. Without organic purchase pressure, the price of the stablecoin continued to slip.

The Synthetix team described the Depgeg As part of a “transition period” and works on integrations with Aave and Ethena to create new demand wells.

They also undertook to increase curve incentives in order to support prices resumption.

However, the Parsec report highlights a critical compromise: although SIP-420 has an improved scalability and a simplified participation, it also removed a key reflexive stabilizer which once helped to keep above its planned PEG.
