    Study Notes

    • Tokenomics is the set of principles and rules that govern the design, distribution, and use of a cryptocurrency.

    • Tokenomics is often outlined in a white paper, which is a detailed document explaining the proposed cryptocurrency and how it and any underlying technology will work.

    • One of the main stablecoins in Terra’s ecosystem, called TerraUSD (UST), relies on a network of arbitrageurs, who swap UST with another of Terra’s tokens, LUNA, to keep the price of UST as close to $1 as possible at all times.

    • This complex tokenomics system appeals to investors because it creates accessible opportunities to make low-risk gains through arbitrage trading.
