šŸ”„ Polkadot’s pUSD: The Next Big #DeFi Move…Or a Repeat of aUSD? šŸ”„

šŸ’¬ New Stablecoin, Big #Ambitions

Polkadot is gearing up to launch pUSD, a native stablecoin fully backed by $DOT . The goal? Boost DeFi, reduce reliance on USDT/USDC, and give the Polkadot ecosystem more autonomy. Sounds awesome, right?

āš ļø But History Is Watching

Some in the community aren’t thrilled. Why? pUSD uses Honzon, the same protocol behind Acala’s aUSD, which ended in disaster. People still remember hacks, mismanagement, and lost trust. The fear: history could repeat itself if lessons aren’t learned.

šŸ’Ž DOT-Only Collateral = Risky?

pUSD is over-collateralized with DOT, which is safer than Terra’s UST, but relying solely on DOT could trigger liquidation cascades and sell pressure. Multi-collateral stablecoins like MakerDAO’s DAI have already proven a smarter approach.

🌱 Community Wants Innovation

Polkadot has tools like HOLLAR and Hydration runtime ready to optimize stablecoins for appchains. Many argue: don’t just recycle old models use Polkadot’s unique ecosystem to make something secure and future-proof.

šŸ¤” The Question Remains

pUSD could unlock huge DeFi potential, but can it escape the shadow of aUSD’s failure? Or will Polkadot prove skeptics wrong?

What do you think about this?
