What is it running on top of (Ethereum, its own blockchain)? Is it similar to MakerDAO?

Then it would be very similar to MakerDAO?

I had this rather simple idea the other day: Why not create an artificial index over the last X days and trade that instead? No matter how crazy the price changes of a crypto coin are, the X day average will always be dampened because today's changes will only be 1/X of the change of the average.

When it removes the peg to the dollar, how it's supposed to be stabilized? "bunch of random collateral" isn't quite convincing. How are people going to trust that the collateral, like tokenized bonds, are actually valuable? I'm not going to trust such a system. Money based on trust is dead.

The only purpose of this currency is to enrich those who invented it.
