Today we'll explain how our stablecoin is working and why itβs price will be always at 1$.
Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or Ethereum, whose price can move significantly, stablecoins are pegged to assets with the lowest volatility (such as the US dollar or gold).
Traders can quickly convert cryptocurrency into stablecoins to protect their investments. Cephei protocol creates its own hypercollateralized stablecoin, cUSD, as a borrowing token.
Why our stable will be always at 1$ price?
Cephei protocol solves peg question with the most sustainable way - make peg profitable. Let's look at examples:
When the price of cUSD > 1$ - it is profitable to open new credits and sell just received cUSD for another stablecoin and this selling process would push the price of cUSD down to 1$.
If price of cUSD < 1$, then it is profitable to buy cUSD from the market to close the credits and this buiyng process would also push the price of cUSD up to 1$.
Redemption is an algorithm when for 1 cUSD you can always get 1$ of collateral tokens.
For example, get $1 in TON equivalent in exchange for 1 cUSD, and this $1 of collateral will be taken from the position with the lowest HF (the closest one to liquidation), thereby protecting the loan from liquidation and executing the exchange itself.
But, like any medicine, this mechanic in large quantities is poison and kills the system, so we decided to make a deactivable buyback that will be included only in emergency situations (ideally - never) and is guaranteed to restore the binding.

πͺ Cephei β Protocol Use Cases
πͺ Hello, Cephei community!
The app is growing and our users are diving further into Defi tools, so today we're going to look at which situations you can use our ecosystem for better experience.
π‘ Increase your profitability with farm-strategies
Cephei gives a unique opportunity to its users - to earn from their collateral. To achieve this, we use custom farming strategies that will run on large DeFi platforms in TON (on Evaa as an exapmle). Your assets are held as collateral for your loans, while generating income for you in parallel!
π‘ Open a leveraged Long position on asset
Dealing on the upside via the lending protocol is a common thing for an advanced web3 user, and now we are going to share one of the simple algorithms for opening a leveraged position:
First, deposit collateral. For example, if you want to open a Long on the asset $TON, you need to deposit $TON as collateral. After the deposit, you can get $cUSD as a leveraged asset.
Now to increase leverage, all we need to do is exchange the $cUSD we just received for $TON and put it back as collateral.
Return some of the borrowed funds back, in case you need to reduce your leverage.
π‘ Open a leveraged Short position on asset
A down trade works according to the following principle: When you sell a loan asset, you short it.
For example, you borrow 100 $TON for stablecoins ($cUSD, for example) at a price of 4$ and immediately sell them on the market. Suppose that a month later the price of $TON has fallen to $3.75$. Now, to close the loan, you can simply buy $TON from the market at the lower price and get your profit in the form of $0.25 from each token, totaling $25 without commissions!
β What are the advantages of opening a leveraged position in lending-protocol
Unlike futures on centralized platforms, your position is secured from high financing rate. Secondly, you don't lose control over your assets - all the rules for using your funds are concluded in a smart contract and no one will use them without your knowledge.

So if you invest $100 in $TON as collateral, borrow $50 $cUSD and then sell that $50 $cUSD back for $TON, your total Long position in $TON will grow from $100 to $150.
Return some of the borrowed funds back, in case you need to reduce your leverage.

Synthetic assets are financial instruments that mimic the value of traditional asset but do not have a direct physical representation of him. They are synthetic, not real assets, that's where the name comes from.
Synthetic assets are needed when there is no desire or opportunity to hold currency in its traditional form.
For example, we have $mTSLA, a synthetic asset that tracks the price of Tesla shares. It allows users to trade Tesla shares as tokens on the blockchain by the actual price of Tesla itself.
Synthetic assets also allow owning native tokens of another blockchain (for example, $BTC coins on the TON blockchain). If all thing done correctly, the $BTC rate will be exactly the same as that presented on all other exchanges.
Our coin is a synthetic US dollar asset (1 cUSD = 1 USD) that supply users with credit funds in exchange for their collateral.
Peg Decision: Arbitrage
There is one important thing with synthetic assets - they can lose their price behavior that simulates to the traditional version, this situation is called "Depeg".
Our protocol solves this problem in the most rational way - by making the peg profitable for arbitragers:
When the price of cUSD > $1, it is profitable to open a new loan and sell cUSD for another stablecoin, and this selling process will push the price of cUSD to $1.
If the price of cUSD < 1$, then it is profitable to buy cUSD from the market to close the loan, this action will push the price of cUSD to 1$.
Cephei also has a Hard Peg mechanic, which you can read more about in our documentation
Cephei plans to have many different synthetics and so we will be releasing a new synthetic asset soon!

Whenever you open/close your debt position you should always consider the price action. If the collateral worth is below acceptable level β position will be liquidated.
With this update, the protocol is one step closer to mainnet!
New tasks for testing the protocol are already waiting for you in the app. You know how itβs important for us β thatβs why all tasks are with rewards. Your contribution and feedback is the key for growth.

As you might have guessed, state of your current credit position can described with one parameter β Health Factor. It shows the ratio of your whole collateral that have deposited to your account to borrowed funds.
If your HF is below 1.3 or even close to 1 β it's a danger sign. Your position will likely be liquidated.
If you have such question β we're trying to answer it as simple as possible:
Liquidation in the lending protocol means the complete withdrawal of all collateral funds directly by the contract on which those very funds was stored. The reason could be a large number of loans or low collateral, causing HF conditions to become critical.
Protocol produces liquidations of such risk positions in order to restore the funds storage and maintain the reliability of the ecosystem.
π A little task for our Users:
Go to your credit account and check "HF" parameter, if it's:
