about?
For example, when FRAX is minted into the Curve pool (through the Curve AMO), it isn’t backed by anything, is it? What I mean is, if the Curve pool can handle a deposit of 1 million FRAX without the peg dropping 1 cent (since a percentage of FRAX deposited is sold for USDC based on the composition of the pool), the protocol will mint 1 million FRAX into that pool. What is it backed by? Nothing, but that's fine, since the protocol can descale and any swaps utilizing that minted liquidity into the pool are acting as a mint/redeem function.
It isn't in circulation unless it is traded for and as soon as it is traded for and in circulation it is backed
Is this the absolute ticket? The explanation that I’ve been desperately looking for to understand? That the FRAX in these pools does not need to 1:1 collateralized until it’s traded out of the pool … At which point it’s in circ and is now collateralized ? 🤯
Yep. I said that trades utilizing that liquidity are essentially mints and redemptions, so basically what you said.
