NuBits · interactive mechanism simulation

NuShareholders vote on policy → custodians mint and sell NuBits when demand is high, or offer "parking" interest to lock NuBits away when demand is low → the $1 peg holds until a sustained bank run overwhelms the thin NuShares-only reserve.
NuShareholders vote policy Policy vote park rate: 5%/yr custodian grants active NSR buffer: 100% Custodian mint & sell when price > $1 Parking (lock for yield) when price < $1 NBT price $1.000 pegged NuShares (NSR) buffer market cap: 100%

Illustrative simulation. Approximates NuBits' dual-token seigniorage design: custodians sell NBT to cool excess demand, parking pays interest to shrink circulating supply when demand falls, and NuShares' market value is the only loss-absorbing buffer. Defaults mirror the fragility that led to peg breaks in June 2016 and, terminally, March 2018 — not live onchain data. Part of The Onchain Experiment Atlas.
