ZAI (USDz) is a decentralized stablecoin within the MAHA ecosystem designed to maintain a 1:1 peg with the US Dollar (USD). ZAI is a highly scalable and over-collateralized stablecoin that can be used to leverage against crypto-native assets.
ZAI aims to provide stability and liquidity without relying on traditional liquidation mechanisms or stability pools. Users can mint ZAI against traditional stablecoins, such as USDC and DAI, and leverage ZAI in various DeFi protocols and liquidity pools.
To support the growth of the ZAI stablecoin without the need for heavy inflationary rewards from MAHA, a feedback loop between liquidity providers and borrowers is created, ensuring that Liquidity providers who provide liquidity to ZAI are paid by borrowers who leverage their yields by borrowing ZAI.
This is why ZAI mainly caters to two kinds of users.
Liquidity Providers: Users who mint ZAI using stablecoins and provide liquidity to the ZAI/USDC pair across various DEXes. Liquidity providers earn MAHA rewards and fees earned from leverage borrowers.
Leverage Users / Borrowers: Users who borrow ZAI to leverage themselves across various asset classes. Borrowers pay an interest fee in ZAI which goes back to liquidity providers for providing liquidity.
ZAI is a decentralized stablecoin, and the source code is completely open-source (Under the GPL-3 license). The source code for ZAI can be found in the below Github repo:
ZAI is completely decentralized, with ownership of the token controlled by the MAHA governance.
