> **Visual Note:** The image is an infographic titled "Stablecoins Explained" that visually categorizes stablecoins into three types—fiat-backed (USDT, USDC), crypto-backed (DAI), and algorithmic—with icons and brief descriptions, directly supporting the post's explanation of how these assets serve as the "$1" backbone of DeFi.

Main types:  
- Fiat-backed (USDT, USDC)  
- Crypto-backed (DAI)  
- Algorithmic (more experimental)

They power most of DeFi and act as the “dollar” of crypto.  

Which stablecoin do you use most and why?"

> "Anyone uses Webacy Depeg Monitor?

Has anyone here used Webacy’s Depeg Monitor or any similar stablecoin depeg warning tools (for USDC, USDT, or DAI)? Are they actually reliable? Do they give useful warnings before a depeg, or mostly react after it starts? I am looking to make a depeg safety layer to my algorithm, where it will immediately stop all actions and have some safety measures when it get a signal of a possible depeg."
