Where VAI lives: supply by blockchain
Supply is concentrated: BSC holds 100% of all VAI. Moving it to another chain means bridging, or a mint and redeem through the issuer.
How VAI is backed
VAI 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: VAI is minted by supplying and locking a single or basket of cryptocurrencies. VAI is exchangeable to all supporting assets, including USD, which can be redeemed directly to your bank account in the Swipe Wallet platform for verified users.
VAI risks
Collateral and liquidations
A sharp crash in the crypto collateral can outrun liquidations and leave the system under-backed.
Smart contracts and oracles
Bugs, governance attacks or bad price feeds can drain collateral or trigger wrongful liquidations.
Small and thinly traded
With $1.2M in circulation, exiting a large position may move the price. Redemption may be limited to approved customers.
Regulation
Rules such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU's MiCA can restrict which stablecoins exchanges list in a given country.
