|---|---|
USH | A stablecoin soft-pegged to the US dollar. Its value should always be close to US $1.00. Each $1 equivalent of USH is backed by at least $1.10 equivalent of collateral. |
HDG | A revenue share and governance token. It rewards market makers for providing liquidity to the system by capturing a proportional share of the protocol revenues when staked. |
Collateral | Tokens that you deposit as a guarantee for the loan that Hedge gives you. Currently, SOL is the first supported form of collateral. |
Collateral Ratio | The market value of your collateral divided by your debt (loan amount in USH). |
Liquidation | When an undercollateralized vault is liquidated, the debt and collateral are zeroed out and users who have deposited USH in a stability pool are returned discounted collateral as a reward. |
Liquidity Pool | Users can put tokens in to allow other users to swap their tokens more easily; for example from USH to SOL and from HDG to SOL. This is not native to Hedge but may be done on other platforms. |
Redemption | Any user may redeem their USH for the equivalent value in SOL. This SOL will be taken from the user’s vault with the lowest collateral ratio; after a fee is assessed, the vault owner's debt is repaid at a premium. This reduces the vault’s debt and collateral and increases the vault’s collateral ratio. |
Stability Pool | Used in liquidations; users can deposit USH and be rewarded in SOL and HDG tokens. |
Staking pool | Users can stake their HDG tokens and earn a proportional share of the protocol's revenue. |
