Brief introduction: Launched in June 2016, Waves is a multi-purpose blockchain platform supporting various use cases including decentralised applications (DApps) and smart contracts. Similar to other layer-1 blockchains, it allows for the creation and trade of crypto tokens without the need for extensive smart contract programming.
Why it matters:
Waves Tech, the team that has developed the Waves blockchain, announced a revival plan on 27 May after a massive sell-off of USDN, Waves’s native algorithmic stablecoin
According to the revival plan, some measures such as daily withdrawal limits and “adaptive” borrowing, and withdrawal limits for Vires Finance, a lending protocol on Waves, have already been implemented
Other measures, such as new incentive mechanisms to improve the demand for USDN, will also be available for the community to vote
