Paypal's new stablecoin has the ability to pause all transfers, freeze addresses to prevent actions and also burn the tokens in the frozen addresses by mbdtf95 Here is where you can freely read the whole source code of Paypal's new stablecoin which is named Paypal USD with ticker (symbol) PYUSD: https://etherscan.deth.net/address/0xe17b8adf8e46b15f3f9ab4bb9e3b6e31db09126... Well everything is transparent and some of the more interesting parts are parts where it can clearly freeze and unfreeze people's accounts. Supply is centrally controlled of course via a Supplycontroller, and probably the biggest thing is that it can freeze accounts and then burn the frozen account's coins. If we get CBDCs you can expect this kind of function in them. Here is that ''interesting'' part of the code which states some of these things if you don't want to look at whole source code: https://i.redd.it/xghg9rt2ergb1.png [–]seb7mad 332 points333 points334 points 1 day ago (125 children) Keep in mind that USDC and USDT can do the exact same things permalink embed save report give award reply [–]Kindly-Wolf6919 305 points306 points307 points 1 day ago (48 children) I'm pretty sure that at least 50% of the people around here do not keep that in mind. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]kthebakermanSend moons 56 points57 points58 points 1 day ago (32 children) And at least 50% of that 50% don’t even know what those stablecoins are permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]conceiv3d-in-lib3rty 16 points17 points18 points 1 day ago (25 children) They’ve heard of them of course, but I think it’s safe to say the majority of people here do not participate in DeFi. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]SimbaTheWeaselBronze | QC: ALGO 18 13 points14 points15 points 1 day ago (24 children) Yeah, most aren’t going to want to stress themselves out trying to navigate DeFi permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]Easy-Medicine-8610Tin 8 points9 points10 points 1 day ago* (7 children) I've navigated this quantum realm you call DeFi.

Not much liquidity yet unfortunately. They’d deserve more love. On the other hand this clearly shows how also algorithmic stable coins can cope with such circumstances. Since the Luna debacle they don’t have the best reputation in this sub, but that only showed the logic flaws for that one stable. The design of DJED is based on the older SigmaUSD of Ergo and that in turn has been around quite a while and proved to be stable even in extreme conditions. So there’s a point for trustless, algorithmic stables, though they are not without their own issues. For example the backing coin of DJED doesn’t seem to quite have the right risk/reward ratio yet; it’s also tied to issuer Coti for minting. Anyway I’d like to see such projects evolve and thrive, rather than some centralized company coin as heartening as that may be as far as adoption is concerned.

The Government can already order payment processors to deliver customer data on demand and suspend accounts so this new system is viewed as an improvement by most Chinese people because it's just the same as what they have now, but Government-run.

In a high interest environment a stable coin issuer should be doing very well because the dollars they hold return 4-5%, which more than covers any costs. It should be an extremely lucrative business: you issue 1 USD coin which gets swapped for some other crypto which could make you money (lending, farming, increase in value), but still hold the underlying 1 US$ which bears interest for you.

Once the smart contract is published on the blockchain, the contract's bytecode (which is what is generated when you compile the original Solidity source and publish it to the blockchain) is publicly available because its the bytecode is what the Ethereum Virtual Machine runs when the contract's functions are called by a transaction. In many cases, the source can be decompiled back into a close approximation of the original Solidity source code, e.g. https://etherscan.io/bytecode-decompiler. Most projects will make their actual contract source code public on Github and / or on block explorers however, which is what PayPal did. You can tell because the source code for the contract address is not only available on Etherscan but it's also verified, which means that PayPal uploaded the source to Etherscan and the source code, when compiled, matches the compiled bytecode for that address on the blockchain: https://etherscan.io/address/0xe17b8adf8e46b15f3f9ab4bb9e3b6e31db09126e#code permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]WeaselJCDTin | Superstonk 25 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago (1 child) These guys (the system) wil get crypto adopted and then pull this bullshit and people will say, "f*ck, I should have gone with BTC or <insert next best altcoin> instead" and this is how we get mass adoption mark my words! permalink embed save report give award reply [–]Most_Being_4002 0 points1 point2 points 1 day ago (0 children) I believe you,also i think CBDC can help to mass adoption,too.its little paradox,but possible. permalink embed save parent report give award reply [–]ToshiSat 1 point2 points3 points 1 day ago (1 child) I knew PayPal would try to fuck people over, it was obvious Their stock is going down since the last years, I hope they burn tbh We need to make them irrelevant, crypto has the power to do that.

This is a Ethereum use case app. This is very good for overall adoption of decentralized protocols. That does not mean that every app using the protocol needs to be decentralized. The opposite of having regulated entities in crypto is FTX, Celsius. Voyager, BlockFi, Genesis, and all the other contagions in the space.

BTC is a decentralized, immutable store of value with a fixed supply that uses blockchain tech. PYUSD is a centralized, stable coin from a major Fintech company on ETH. ETH is a decentralized layer 1 blockchain that acts as a global operating system. Using "crypto" as a general statement makes not sense. If you don't know the difference between BTC, ETH, and PYUSD maybe you should spend more time learning. None of them have anything in common outside of the underlying tech being blockchain. "crypto" is a general term that really means nothing.

You can see the real PYUSD smart contract code here: https://etherscan.deth.net/address/0xe0a8ed732658832fac18141aa5ad3542e2eb503... only thing that I found there is a bit controlling is that there is a _buyerMap and you cannot sell the token automatically on Uniswap (the interfacing DEX) if you are not on the _buyerMap or you have to wait for the _buyCount to surpasses the _preventSwapBefore threshold so you can sell it, but the _buyCount threshold is not defined in the contract.

We're talking about a company guaranteeing their own assets on any chain. You have tons of centralized and decentralized options if you want to transact in dollars. If you want the value that circle, tether, paypal provide with their stablecoin, you have to play by their rules. There's certainly a lot of value in knowing that somebody would have a hard time running away with all your USD if you stored it on chain, and knowing that it isn't held in a bunch of smart contracts, it's held in a vault somewhere (let's not get into the nuances of how fiat works). You know what makes crypto great? Nobody is forcing you to use this anymore than being forced to use BTC or anything else to transact in.
