USDf is @Falcon Finance synthetic dollar. It aims to stay near one U.S. dollar. The peg comes from boring guard rails, not luck. First, USDf is over backed. That means the value of what sits behind each USDf is kept higher than one dollar. If the locked coins dip, there is still extra value left. Picture a bus with spare seats. Even if a few riders hop off, the bus still moves fine. Falcon also says it runs the collateral with delta-neutral and market-neutral hedges. A hedge is a trade that leans the other way, so a drop in one place is met by a rise somewhere else. The point is to cut “direction” risk, meaning USDf should not care if BTC is up or down today. When the hedge is done right, big price waves hit the system like foam, not like a brick. Over backing plus hedging is basically a seatbelt and an airbag. You hope you never test them. But when the road gets slick, they keep a small skid from turning into a crash. The second guard rail is the price loop. USDf trades on many venues, so the market can push it a bit above or below $1. Falcon leans on cross-market arbitrage to pull it back. Arbitrage is just using a gap: buy low here, sell high there. Mint means you lock approved assets and create fresh USDf at about one dollar. Redeem means you hand USDf back and take out about one dollar of collateral value. Now imagine USDf is trading at $1.01 on an exchange. That is a tiny drift, but it is free lunch for someone who can mint at the peg. They mint for $1, sell for $1.01, and the extra supply cools the price. If USDf slips to $0.99, the trade flips. Buy USDf for $0.99, redeem for about $1, and the buying pressure lifts the price. Falcon Finance (FF) docs mention that minting and redemption can be tied to checks like KYC for certain paths, which can shape who does the loop and how fast. Speed matters. If the loop is slow, the peg can feel loose for longer. And if the market is thin, a few big trades can shove price around. So the “peg” is not one thing. It’s a crowd of traders, a set of gates, and a clear rule: drift creates a chance to earn, and that chance makes people push it back. In short, USDf’s peg leans on extra backing, hedges that cancel swings, and an arb loop that pays people to close tiny gaps. It can still wobble in stress, so real risk controls and reserves matter.
