How you can create dollar-stable assets without relying on banks? CDP-backed stablecoins are the DeFi answer - you can use your crypto as collateral to mint stable assets directly onchain. Our latest Stable School lesson explores: • How MakerDAO reshaped collateralized debt positions back in 2017 • The mechanics behind liquidation auctions, stability pools, and "soft liquidations" • What happened on "Black Thursday" when $5.67M DAI in bad debt was created in hours • Why overcollateralization is essential for maintaining the peg • How @LiquityProtocol and @CurveFinance improved on MakerDAO's original design From oracles to stability fees, understand the infrastructure that powers billions in DeFi liquidity ⬇️

6 weeks of learning, building, hustling, and shipping. Now it's time to show us what you've built. Scroll Open project submissions are OFFICIALLY OPEN! You have 5 days - until Mar 17th, 11:59pm UTC to submit your work. This is what we've all been preparing for. Six weeks of ideation, MVPs, design improvements, and growth strategies have led to this moment. So so so excited to see your projects come to life. From the glimpses I've caught during our livestreams and what you’ve all been posting on socials, I know you all cooked great projects. Remember: Ship what you have. Perfect is the enemy of done. The most exciting time is now - time to ship what you've built for the Open Economy. Good luck, builders! Can't wait to see what you've created. Submit here: tally.so/r/3yzqEp

🚢 🚢 🚢 ing is all that matters! Your demo exists to be shipped. So ship it. Ship it now. Don't wait.

For every fiat-collateralized stablecoin in circulation, there's a real dollar locked in a bank vault somewhere. In our second Stable School lesson, we unpack: • How $3.3B of USDC reserves trapped at SVB caused market panic • The full process of issuance, redemption, and reserve management • Why @PayPal and other giants decided to launch their own stablecoins • Non-USD options like XSGD and EURe for avoiding forex fees

Iterate your demo - and then iterate more! Your first demo won't be perfect - and that's exactly the point 👀

Your demo should not be a secret. Share it with communities. On tg groups. On discord. Everywhere you can get your potential users...

Wake up → Scroll (on X) ↑ ↓ Sleep ← Build, build, build

Validate fast, but fix... even faster. Launch your demo before it's "perfect".

Your demo should focus on ONE. CORE. PROBLEM. That's how you'll attract the right attention.

An idea is nothing without execution. All you need to do is..... Start shipping ⛴️

The faster you iterate, the faster you grow.

"It's just a digital dollar" might be the biggest understatement in crypto. Behind every stablecoin is a complex system keeping that $1 peg - from Treasury bills to delta-neutral positions to algorithmic rebasing. Our first Stable School article unpacks: • The arbitrage mechanics that maintain price stability • Why 99% of stablecoins are USD-pegged (and what that means) • How @BlackRock's BUIDL differs from @ethena' USDe • The five major types and their unique risk profiles • Why LUNA/UST collapsed (and how newer models aim to prevent it)
