What makes USDe different from USDT or USDC?

USDe is synthetic and crypto-backed, not fiat-backed. It uses delta-neutral strategies to maintain its peg.

How does Ethena maintain its $1 peg?

Via delta-neutral positions: long ETH and short perpetuals to balance price movement.

What role do staked ETH and LSTs play?

They provide yield and collateral. Rewards come from both staking and derivatives.

Is Ethena’s yield sustainable?

Yields derive from real market incentives (not printed APY). Unlike Anchor, it's not subsidized.

What are the risks of holding USDe or ENA?

Depeg, smart contract failure, centralized exchange exposure, derivatives risks.

Does Ethena use centralized exchanges?

Yes, for executing short positions, which adds some custodial risk.

Can USDe be used across DeFi?

Yes, it's live on platforms like Curve, Pendle, and Morpho.

What does the ENA token do?

ENA is for governance and may later capture value from protocol revenues.

Is Ethena compliant with regulations?

It's operating in a legal gray zone. Future scrutiny is likely.

How does Ethena compare to DAI or sUSD?

It’s more capital-efficient than DAI and more stable than SNX-backed synths like sUSD.
