Today I want to share why I am so excited about the @feiprotocol

I believe Ethereum levels up every time we discover a new mechanism

@Joey__Santoro has been working on something called Protocol Controlled Value

I want to dive into this and why I think it is so important 👇
With other protocols, users deposit their assets in a contract and then manage their exposure to the volatility of the assets

These protocols custody the collateral in their smart contracts, but the user is the one in control

Protocol Controlled Value (PCV) is totally different
The @feiprotocol is issuing a stablecoin on a bonding curve in return for Ether

It uses the capital it raises autonomously to manage and maintain the peg

Individuals can buy and sell the stablecoin, $FEI, to get their collateral back

This is a much simpler way of doing things
The other aspect to the protocol that excites me is the way the system maintains the peg with automated mechanisms instead of human-controlled interest rates

When $FEI trades above or below the peg, there are different sets of direct incentives to get it back towards $1.00
I have had the pleasure of seeing lots of different founders get started in the DeFi space

I really admire @Joey__Santoro’s focus

If you are keen to learn more about the project, the team just published a post explaining the protocol in more detail: https://medium.com/fei-protocol/introducing-fei-protocol-2db79bd7a82b
You might be asking the question: “Why do we need another stablecoin and how is $FEI different?“

Stablecoins are the underpinning of the entire DeFi ecosystem

If we want truly *decentralized finance*, we need fully decentralized stablecoins that cannot be censored

Compare 👇
You next question might be: ”How can I get involved?”

The protocol is currently under audit but the aim is to launch the public Genesis Group in Q1

The system will be governed by $TRIBE, which will be available to all

It has been super fun to work on the v0.1 of this project on everything from branding to dapp design

Working with @sdalcega on the first website has been a lot of fun

We will now be working on the dapps for the Genesis Group and protocol management

The memes are already incredible 🤣

I want to highlight one thing about the $TRIBE genesis group

The community is getting 5x the amount the investors get and they have instant liquidity

Investors vest over 4 years

The seed investment is being used to fund the audit and launch
I am not saying @Joey__Santoro is the Captain America of Crypto

I am also not, *not* saying that 🇺🇸
I am now getting mercilessly roasted in the @feiprotocol discord for shilling this wonderful project 🥲

Seriously though, I try to find the most interesting things I can on Ethereum and help out as much as possible

Not here for any of that pump and dumpamental stuff
What I find so interesting about this project is the way it is recombining other popular Ethereum mechanisms into a new approach

We have @ashwinrz to thank for getting Joey interested in crypto and collaborating with him on the designs

These projects are always a team effort 🫂 https://twitter.com/ashwinrz/status/1348744189878538240
I want to make one thing clear:

$FEI is *not* another algorithmic ponzi rollercoaster that cannot hold a peg 🎢

It is a thoughtfully designed new system which aims to be under-collateralised and hold the peg through mechanisms instead of governance

It is liquidity-backed https://twitter.com/degenspartan/status/1348859729401974785
