Ethena Labs recently launched the USDe stablecoin on the public Ethereum mainnet, introducing an alternative to existing stablecoins such as USDC and UST.

The synthetic US dollar asset uses sophisticated hedging mechanisms while offering an attractive 27.6% APY staking reward. However, this promise of high returns has sparked controversy within the cryptocurrency industry.


TLDR

  • Ethena Labs launches USDe stablecoin on public mainnet, offering 27.6% APY staking rewards.
  • High yields have sparked concerns about sustainability and potential yield inversion risks.
  • USDe utilizes a delta hedging strategy and has a value of over $289 million.
  • Ethena announced a “Shard Campaign” to encourage the use and growth of the USDe stablecoin.
  • Campaigns provide shard rewards that decay over time for activities such as liquidity provisioning and issuance.

USDe aims to maintain the dollar peg through delta hedging and offset volatility by selling ETH derivatives. This approach appears to differentiate it from failed algorithms such as UST. USDe has already attracted significant attention, securing a total value of over $289 million.

However, despite its innovations, Ethena faces skepticism about the sustainability of its high staking rewards. Critics point out the risk of a yield inversion, where negative yields could quickly destabilize the protocol. Others argue that hedging transactions come with costs that can ultimately reduce returns.

To drive adoption and growth, Ethena also unveiled a “Shard Campaign” to incentivize USDe-related activities. The program issues token rewards for activities such as asset issuance and liquidity provision. These shard rewards decrease over shorter “epochs” lasting a few days or weeks to encourage rapid participation.

However, the campaign limits participation to US users to ensure compliance. Some have criticized these restrictions as exclusionary and at odds with the ideals of decentralization. Nonetheless, Ethena requires the participation of long-term, ethical contributors to maintain its ecosystem.

With algorithmic stablecoins still causing controversy following the collapse of UST, USDe represents a bold new experiment. But long-term sustainability remains uncertain, with rewards and risks being pushed to extremes.
