Regarding the design ideas for decentralized stablecoins, a core issue that cannot be avoided is the Oracle mechanism. If the Oracle itself is easily influenced by capital, then the so-called "decentralization" is essentially meaningless—because trust ultimately points to a black box that can be manipulated.



This is the real crux of the problem. Any system relying on external data sources, if that data source can be dominated by a single entity, then the entire trust model collapses. From a mathematical perspective, such a design cannot withstand scrutiny.

The "resistance to capture" of an Oracle is not optional but a fundamental requirement. Whether it’s a decentralized stablecoin or other DeFi protocols, when it comes to critical steps like price feeding and data confirmation, they must be built on a truly decentralized foundation that is difficult for a single entity with capital to manipulate. Otherwise, no matter how fancy the mechanism design is, it’s just a different way of saying centralized.

Basically, these so-called decentralized stablecoins are doomed once the Oracle is compromised; the trust chain will completely collapse.

oracle capture is just centralization with extra steps, ngl... the whole "decentralized stablecoin" narrative crumbles the moment you realize it's just gatekeeping the data layer instead of the monetary layer

It's the old story of Oracle, but to be honest, it really hits the sore spot. No matter how it's designed, it ultimately can't escape this curse; giants like Chainlink have long become new centralized single points. What a truly decentralized Oracle looks like remains a mystery.

The issue of oracle manipulation has been talked about for so many years and is still happening. It seems like DeFi has never truly been solved.
