Try Quests to earn cryptoThe Nightmare Scenario
Q183. Recently, attacks have been leveled against Terra, suggesting that it is doomed to collapse as UST reaches unsustainable levels. Specifically, concerns have been raised that at a low enough LUNA price, users will no longer be able to redeem $1 of UST for $1 of LUNA. In what circumstances would the price and supply of LUNA and the supply of UST constitute a serious threat to UST redemption, i.e. create an imbalance wherein the UST-LUNA exchange mechanism would no longer function properly? What is the likelihood of such a scenario, and how might it be mitigated?
