This reviews the mechanics and scenarios that involve minting and burning ARTH |
ARTH has special mechanisms that allow it to be a highly scalable stablecoin. In this section, we explain the different scenarios where ARTH will be minted and burned.
ARTH is only minted when collateral is deposited into any one of the protocol pools. This ensures that every ARTH that is minted will always have some kind of backing to ensure its stability.
ARTH is never minted freely without some kind of collateral being deposited into the protocol.
Users will choose to mint ARTH when it is trading above its GMU peg.
ARTH is burnt when it is redeemed for its underlying collateral. Since there are multiple pools, users can go to any one of the collateral pools to redeem their ARTH tokens.
ARTH is redeemed/burnt when ARTH is trading below its GMU peg.
