It employs delta hedging – a financial strategy that mitigates the price volatility of Ethereum – to support the stability of its synthetic dollar, USDe.

Smart contracts are key in the minting and redeeming processes of USDe, as well as facilitating staking and governance activities within the ecosystem.
