phUSD introduces a counterintuitive approach - a stablecoin that benefits from price swings through its "Rebound Effect" mechanism.
How it works:
- When phUSD drops below $1, concentrated yield from the Yield Vault pushes APY higher
- Higher yields attract buyers, creating stronger snap-back to peg
- When above $1, arbitrageurs mint at $1 and sell for profit, restoring peg while growing vault backing
The feedback loop:
- Every trade generates Uniswap fees that deepen liquidity pools
- Deeper liquidity tightens the peg over time
- Early volatility becomes profitable for traders and LPs
- Eventually, increased liquidity reduces volatility cycles
Key benefits:
- Traders capture arbitrage gains during price swings
- Liquidity providers earn fees with zero impermanent loss
- System grows stronger with each volatility cycle
phUSD doesn't fight market forces - it channels them into stability and growth.
