⚖️Peg Arbitrage Mechanism

Solomon maintains the price stability of USDv through a two-way arbitrage mechanism. Whenever the market price of USDv diverges from its target peg of $1.00, whitelisted participants can generate an arbitrage profit by either minting or redeeming USDv.

To facilitate seamless redemption, a small buffer (e.g. 0.5%) of protocol reserves is retained by the minting contract, allowing instant redemption for whitelisted users. This buffer is regularly replenished.
