Harga Governance xALGO

xALGO is an interest-bearing asset that brings Algorand governance yield to other chains, allowing for a continuous governance commitment without periodic burning. Thanks to its interest-bearing nature, xALGO is the perfect fit for bridging Algorand Governance to other chains. 

xALGO users get Algorand Governance rewards without needing to vote or periodically commit, as the voting power is delegated to Algo Liquid Governors, and the locked ALGOs are automatically recommitted by Folks Finance smart contracts. xALGO value grows in value over time due to its interest-bearing structure. Users can provide liquidity to DEXs’ liquidity pools and get trading fees. 

What is the ratio of xALGO to Algo? 

The ratio depends on the amount of Algo deposited in the xALGO mint pool compared to the amount of xAlgo in circulation. For example, if there are 100 Algo and 100 xALGO at the beginning of governance, the ratio is 1:1. At the end of governance, assuming a reward rate of 15%, 15 ALGO will enter the pool. The new ratio will be 115/100 = 1.15 

Is ALGO still held and maintained at this ratio with xALGO? 

The underlying Algo is still held and maintained at the above-mentioned ratio. The de-pegging is a market phenomenon and does not affect the collateralization or backing of the xALGO token by the underlying Algo. 

How does temporary market volatility affect xALGO’s peg? 

When there is heightened volatility in the market, i.e., excessive selling pressure, combined with a lack of liquidity, the price of xALGO can deviate from the underlying Algo. However, as volatility reduces and normal trading activity resumes, combined with arbitrageurs who spot the price mismatch and buy the underpriced xALGO to be redeemed subsequently, the peg is restored eventually. 

What factors will contribute to the resolution of the de-peg? 

At the end of the current governance period, xALGO can be burned for the committed Algo + the accrued rewards (through the mint and burn mechanism). Therefore, the burning mechanism would eventually provide the resolution for the de-peg.
