Parameterization and Monitoring
reserveBps: 15–35% typical for core stables; higher during volatile regimes.MAX_REDEMPTION_RATE: 3–5% ceiling; DECAY_CONSTANT tuned to ~0.5%/hour effective decay.Allocator lines: ceiling sized to allocator capitalization and track record;

Why This Holds the Peg
Hard Convertibility: Oracle-priced, haircut-aware swaps create an always-on primary market. Discounts are corrected by redemptions (supply burns with internalized cost to issuers). Premiums are corrected by allocator issuance and user mint-swaps (no redemption-rate friction on issuance).
Distributed Liquidity: Unified inventory (on-hand + allocator
reservedZeroX+ pockets) reduces fragmentation. Referral attribution binds user flow to allocators who pre-provision, making the primary market competitive.Explicit Tail-Loss Sink: Debt scaling places systemic shortfall where it belongs - on the issuers (allocators) in proportion to their open credit - avoiding ambiguous bail-ins and strengthening creditor discipline.
