Algorithmic Stablecoin

Summary

A type of cryptocurrency designed to maintain a stable value through algorithms that manage supply and demand, rather than through collateral or fiat reserves.

Detailed Description

Algorithmic stablecoins use smart contracts and algorithms to control the supply of tokens in response to changes in demand. When the price rises above the desired peg, the system issues more tokens to bring the price down. Conversely, when the price falls below the peg, tokens are bought back and burned to reduce supply. This mechanism aims to keep the stablecoin's value close to a specified asset, usually a fiat currency like the US dollar.
