Frequently asked questions
What is the Ethena Protocol?
The Ethena Protocol and its token (ENA) is a stablecoin protocol designed to bring a high degree of reliability and transparency to the world of decentralized finance (DeFi). Ethena uses a sophisticated mechanism to maintain its stable price, leveraging a combination of algorithmic and collateral-based models. This dual mechanism aims to ensure price stability while reducing the systemic risks inherent in stablecoin designs. The protocol is built on the Ethereum platform, providing interoperability and access to the ecosystem supporting decentralized applications on the Ethereum network. Ethena’s governance is also decentralized, with decisions regarding updates and modifications made by the tokenholder community, thereby enhancing transparency and reliability.
How does the Ethena Protocol work?
The Ethena Protocol enables the issuance of the stablecoin (USDe) in exchange for the deposit of crypto assets such as Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other stablecoins such as USDT. To maintain the stablecoin’s value, the protocol automatically opens short positions equal to the value of the deposited assets, so that the profits offset any decline in the value of the collateral, a mechanism known as delta hedging. Assets are also held with independent custodians rather than on trading platforms, which reduces the risk of hacking or asset loss. Through this mechanism, USDe tokens maintain their peg to the dollar even during periods of market volatility.

What are the risks and considerations
Before purchasing ENA, it is important to understand the risks associated with it:
• Network reserve risks: Any changes to the currency’s reserves may affect its value.
• Governance and regulatory risks: the currency’s value may be affected by legislation and regulation.
• Custody risks: you must protect your account with a strong password and two-factor authentication and choose an appropriate storage method after researching it thoroughly.
• Price volatility risks: the currency may be subject to sharp price fluctuations.
• Technical risks: The smart contracts on which the network relies may be subject to hacks or technical issues that affect the currency.
You should not purchase ENA based solely on price predictions. Instead, you should study the whitepaper, the currency’s use cases, the project, and your risk tolerance before making any decision.
What will happen to Ethena if funding rates turn negative?
