Creating a stablecoin on Casper #7

A stablecoin on Casper

Prize Bounty

82,750 CSPR (approx. 10,000 USDT) for each of the top 6 various advanced submissions

Challenge Description

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies that tie their market value against an external reference such as fiat or gold, to minimize price volatility. An example is the USDC stablecoin.

In this challenge, you will create a stablecoin on Casper, where the stable coin is a Casper token, which can be stored in the Signer, the Ledger, or any Casper-compatible wallet. You can start with the Casper NFT standard and the NFT example implementation.

There are multiple stablecoin design mechanisms. As a first implementation, we propose a bridge to a 1:1 off-chain reserve-based, stablecoin. Our recommendation would be a bridge to USDC as the target. In addition, the operator should be regulated with transparent auditing reports.

Ideally, the development and rollout on Mainnet would be coordinated with market makers and other actors that require operational optimization in respect of moving in and out of trade positions.

Winning contributors may receive funding or grants to continue this work beyond the hackathon.

Submission Requirements

All bounty submissions must be received no later than 11:59 PM EDT on October 11th, 2021, or earlier.

Judging Criteria

This entry will be judged based on the following:

This entry will be compared against other submissions in the intermediate category, including documentation, enhancing client SDKs, enhancing the CEP-47 and ERC-20 standards, and creating a reward system.

Winner Announcement Date

Projects will be evaluated within 2 weeks of the hackathon ending or earlier when possible. Winners will be announced the week of October 25th and the payout will occur after the winners are announced.

Payment details

Make sure you input your OWN, NON-custodial CSPR wallet to be sure to receive payouts. If CSPR cannot be accepted in certain jurisdictions, winners will receive the equivalent amount in USDT. Gitcoin establishes the conversion rate.

For this submission I'm going to attempt my best at creating a similar stablecoin as USDC implemented in the Casper Network.
