2/ Wait, but how is this possible? First, recall that Anchor lets you borrow stablecoins against your stake. Instead of charging explicit borrowing rates, the system passes on your staking rewards to lenders.

3/ โ€ฆ With Luna staking yield at 12% p.a. and LTV at 50%, this means that the system is able to generate at least 24% staking revenue on deposits โ€“ more than enough to cover the 20%.

5/ Why 20%? Why fixed? In order for Anchor to be widely adopted, it needs to offer a dependable yield. 20% fixed is a far superior UX compared to 18 ~ 30% fluctuating.

6/ $ANC governance will set Anchorโ€™s target yield โ€“ it can theoretically be set to any number. If staking reward > target yield, the excess funds are reserved. If rewards < target yield, reserves are used โ€“ and ANC incentives increase rapidly to increase borrowing demand

7/ The ANC token emission algorithm to calibrate borrowing demand is inspired by the AIMD algorithm that forms the centerpiece of TCP โ€“ Rewards hike quickly to stimulate demand when it is lacking, and slowly lower over time to return to equilibrium.
