Where NOTE lives: supply by blockchain
Supply is concentrated: Canto holds 100% of all NOTE. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.
How NOTE is backed
NOTE is minted against crypto collateral locked in smart contracts, usually worth more than the stablecoins issued, with liquidations or hedges protecting the peg.
Minting and redemption: NOTE is a fully immutable ERC-20 token backed by collateral lent to the Canto Lending Market. It can only be borrowed by users who post select collateral assets such as USDC, USDT, CANTO, ETH, ATOM, or Canto LP tokens.
NOTE risks
A sharp crash in the crypto collateral can outrun liquidations and leave the system under-backed.
Bugs, governance attacks or bad price feeds can drain collateral or trigger wrongful liquidations.
With $1.2M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
