Peg maintained via
UST* – Algorithmic Model from Day 1 using Constant Sum Market Maker (CSMM)
USDF – Collateralization Evolution, starting from phase 1: 100% Fiat-collateralization following with >100% Crypto-collateralization and delayed partial swap Constant Product Market Maker (CPMM).
The gradual evolution of USDF will allow for the build-up of goodwill amongst market participants who would come to accept USDF as a prudently managed stablecoin.

Supporting value
UST* – supported by the volatile value of Terra’s Proof-of-Stake blockchain rather than utility outside the Terra ecosystem.
USDF – supported by the exogenous actual world revenue of the Bitazza ecosystem and use cases, including Freedom Card and Freedom Wallet.
