Pickle PicoPaper
why use lot word when few do trick
Abstract. Off peg bad, on peg good. Read the goddamn picopaper.
1. Introduction ⚡
Too many farming projects don’t actually do anything for the community. Pickle is an experiment that actually gives a shit. Specifically, Pickle brings the four largest stablecoins (DAI, USDC, USDT, sUSD) closer to their peg by using the power of farming and pVaults.
2. Farming 👨🌾
The idea is simple, we give $PICKLEs to liquidity providers of four stablecoin pools:
- DAI/ETH
- USDC/ETH
- USDT/ETH
- sUSD/ETH
More rewards are given to below-peg stablecoin pools and fewer rewards are given to above-peg stablecoin pools. This gets people to sell above-peg stablecoins and buy below-peg stablecoins.
Pickle will also give rewards to an ETH-PICKLE pool. This takes care of the case where all stablecoins are above peg. There will likely be other pools as well.
3. pVaults 🏦
We realize that we can’t just print $PICKLEs forever, there needs to be a reason (beyond the typical “governance” bullshit) to hold $PICKLEs. pVaults will come a few weeks after farming and will use flash loans to leverage up and arb between stablecoins, further bringing stablecoins to their pegs while generating return for $PICKLE holders. More details to follow.
4. The Usual 💸
No VCs. No pre-mine. No ICO.
