Publius of Beanstalk Farms: The Future of Algorithmic Stablecoins | #15
Beans are an algorithmic stablecoin that represent an evolution of stablecoins - kind of like going from USDC to DAI to FRAX to BEANS. The problem with USDC is that since each coin is backed by the collateral of $1 US Dollar, they can't grow the supply fast enough to keep up with demand. This means that interest rates on loans are extremely high (like 30-50%) and this is, of course, unsustainable for the average person. Beans is designed so that the supply can increase beyond USDC and other stablecoins to provide lower interest rate loans - the end goal is less than 0.1% interest rates. To get there, they've designed an algorithmic stablecoin based on credit and debt cycles instead of collateral. Beans is still in the infancy stage - they are currently working on integrations with other protocols which will increase demand and therefore increase supply. There are two ways to invest in beans right now - the silo or by sowing. Sowing gives you a fixed amount of pods based on the weather at the time of sowing, you go to the back of the pod line and wait for them to harvest. Each pod turns into one bean, which should be worth approximately $1 (algo-stable). Silo-ing entitles you to passive income through receiving an amount of beans every season (hour) based on your ownership percentage of the Silo - half of all beans minted go to the Silo, the other half go towards moving up the pod line.
