Introduction to Nebula Finance

A new Epoch in Stablecoins

Welcome to Nebula Finance, a new epoch in hybrid stable coins, pushing forward with a roadmap to full collateralization. At our core is Nebula Cash- NUSD, a stablecoin with the ambition to maintain a peg of $1.00, though this may adjust over time in response to inflation or a weakening dollar. The protocol uses a host of different action phases that adapt taxes, rebates, rewards, and available activities based on the current state of the protocol, ensuring robust and adaptive stability mechanisms.

The Road to Collateralization

The journey to collateralization is a key aspect of our protocol's design. Nebula Finance operates under the premise that the higher the collateralization, the more stable the price of the stablecoin. To achieve this, we utilize a complex system of taxes, rebates, and rewards that vary depending on the action phase of the Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) for that epoch, and whether we are undercollateralized (below 110%) or overcollateralized (above 150%).

As we progress towards higher levels of collateralization, we not only achieve greater price stability but also prepare the ground for expansion into lending, and provide liquidity loans for our Decentralized Exchange (DEX). It's important to note that collateralization is a dynamic process, continually adapting to the changing market conditions and the needs of the Nebula Finance ecosystem.

Understanding the Protocol Collateral Ratio (PCR)

The PCR plays a pivotal role in the Nebula Finance ecosystem, regulating the actions of how tokens are taxed and distributed. In essence, the PCR is a dynamic fractional reserve that ensures the system never stays under-collateralized for too long. When the PCR dips below 110%, it triggers the minting of NSH tokens on a temporary basis, with taxes being rerouted to purchase and replace the NSH in the PCR with stablecoins until it rises back above 110%.

In such a scenario, users are also given an opportunity to buy NSH at discounted rates with stablecoins directly from the PCR, accelerating the system's return to the desired PCR levels. On the other hand, when the PCR is above 125%, users can buy NUSD by burning their NSH. This mechanism aids in maintaining the balance of the system, making it more resilient and adaptive to market fluctuations.

The PCR is not just a measure of collateralization but a tool that directly impacts the action phases and the overall stability of the Nebula Finance ecosystem. Its purpose is to continuously maintain an optimal balance between NUSD and NSH, making Nebula Finance an innovation in the field of hybrid stablecoins.

The Path Towards Decentralization

Nebula Finance is not just about creating a stable financial ecosystem but also about decentralizing power and control. As the protocol stabilizes, we aim to transition towards a fully decentralized governance model. This means that the control of the protocol will increasingly be in the hands of the NSH holders - the true stakeholders of the ecosystem.

Our goal is to ensure that the protocol becomes self-sustaining and resilient, with the ability to adapt and evolve according to the needs of its users. This commitment to decentralization is what sets Nebula Finance apart, ensuring that we are building a financial system that is not only stable and secure but also fair, transparent, and truly owned by its users.

In conclusion, Nebula Finance is more than just a stablecoin protocol. It's a mission to redefine the future of finance, blending stability, security, and decentralization to create a financial ecosystem that is robust, adaptable, and truly democratic. Join us on this exciting journey.
