    Hydration, a core protocol within the Polkadot ecosystem, has unveiled HOLLAR, a decentralized stablecoin designed to overcome weaknesses in existing models. Announced on September 22, HOLLAR represents Hydration’s ambition to unify trading, lending, and stable value storage on its dedicated app chain. By being over-collateralized with major tokens like DOT, ETH, and BTC, HOLLAR aims to maintain reliability and trust for its users.

    HOLLAR Stability Module powers automated risk management

    A standout feature of HOLLAR is the HOLLAR Stability Module (HSM), which automates price support and real-time interventions. The system handles partial liquidations, enforces risk controls, and provides instant price backing without relying on external arbitrage or human action. This contrasts with traditional stablecoins, often vulnerable to sharp market swings. Initial supply is capped at 2 million HOLLAR, and users can mint the token with a 5% annual borrow rate. Notably, purchases carry no fees, while redemptions incur a minimal 0.01% charge. HSM also maintains a price floor up to $0.995, protecting holders during volatile periods.

    Liquidity pools and DeFi integration strengthen adoption

    Hydration is launching four dedicated stablecoin liquidity pools outside its Omnipool. Each pool is seeded with protocol liquidity to encourage active trading and efficient price discovery. This infrastructure is intended to enhance capital efficiency and integrate seamlessly with Hydration’s broader DeFi ecosystem, positioning HOLLAR as a practical alternative to centralized stablecoins like USDC or USDT.

    HOLLAR combines automation, strong risk controls, and DeFi integration, offering a stable and secure option for crypto users. Its controlled supply, liquidity pools, and protocol-backed price support mark a significant step forward in decentralized finance.
