While they\u2019re ostensibly intended to hew to a peg, such as the US dollar, containing and mitigating volatility has proven to be a notoriously difficult problem to solve. <\/p>\n<p>So far these assets have remained somewhat on the fringe of decentralized finance (DeFi), with the top three projects \u2014 Empty Set Dollar, Frax, and Dynamic Set Dollar \u2014 accounting for just half a billion in marketcap between them, per Coingecko. Yet traders keep lining up to take spins at the rebase casino, and there\u2019s ongoing development into new products like BadgerDAO\u2019s forthcoming DIGG \u2014 a synthetic asset meant to track the price of Bitcoin. It remains new, exciting, and largely unexplored territory. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_more_stable_stablecoin\"><\/span>A more stable stablecoin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>In an interview with Cointelegraph, the anonymous developers of Morph.Finance \u2014 formerly Dynamic.Supply \u2014 recounted their story trying to build a sustainable project in the space, a story with just as many ups and downs as an algo stablecoin chart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDynamic.Supply was a simple Basis fork with modified variables, which launched in early January,\u201d said the team. \u201cWe tried to limit whale\/bot accumulation by c<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ing the maximum number of tokens per TX during the first hour of launch, but this was unsuccessful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The team explained that deep-pocketed &#8216;whale&#8217; traders hoovered the tokens shortly after launch, and proceeded <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> the rebase parameters in their favor. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThere was no lockup on the boardroom initially, which opened us up to yield sniping, where users would buy and deposit large amounts of DSTR right before the end of an epoch, collect the rewards, then market dump everything before repeating a few hours later.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The manipulation discouraged early community members and even some of the developers. Others, however, remained undaunted. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"New_features_new_problems\"><\/span>New features, new problems<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As is often the case in startup stories, the obstacles led to ingenuity. In the case of Morph, the ingenuity came in the form of a Zapper contract allowing algorithmic stablecoin liquidity providers to quickly switch between other project pools to theirs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the short term it bolstered liquidity, but in the long term it might also allow Morph to \u201cintroduce a market-wide LP zapper system that benefits all farms\u201d \u2014 an innovation that could buoy the whole space. <\/p>\n<p>But even the new on-ramps to the weren\u2019t enough to stabilize the peg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLiquidity significantly improved, however our tokenomics were working against us,\u201d the team said. \u201cEmission of DST and DSTR were both far too fast, leaving us with insufficient time to get new arbitrage mechanics rolled out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In order to combat their overaggressive token emissions, the team deployed new contracts, rebranded, and asked the community to transfer their tokens \u2014 a process that led to significant griping about gas fees in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> channels, as well as no small amount of anxiety that the team might be planning an elaborate rugpull. <\/p>\n<p>Twitter trader <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CryptoSpider1\">@CryptoSpider1<\/a> was among those who held his stake through the migration to the new contracts, and said in a statement to Cointelegraph that \u201crugpull\u201d risks are a part of being on the emerging frontier of the space. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHigh risk = high reward, and the dev has shown he\/she has no interest in rugpulling but creating something interesting that challenges the current model,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Next_steps\"><\/span>Next steps<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As of 8 pm EST today, just a few weeks after launching as \u201cDynamic.Supply,\u201d the project has reopened liquidity pools, completing Morph\u2019s \u201cmetamorphosis\u201d \u2014 converting DST and DSTR tokens to Morph Coin (MORC) and Morph Tracker (MORT), along with the new name, website, and emission rate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Zapper feature \u2014 the first of what Morph hopes will be a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of contributions to the space \u2014 has also been carried over from the old brand. <\/p>\n<p>A series of shuffles, tweaks, and innovations, all from a handful of devs and intended to push the algorithmic asset space forward.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an open question as to if Morph\u2019s changes will bring their asset stability, just as a similar concerns swirl around most, if not all algorithmic asset projects. But when asked about the future of Morph and projects like it, the Morph team already had further innovations on the mind. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cUtility! Without it, Morph, and all similar projects will eventually fizzle out. That&#8217;s not what we want, we&#8217;re aiming to build a sustainable ecosystem that we hope will bring real value to our users.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"defi_newsletter\"><\/template><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
