Algorithmic / under-collateralized stablecoin

Axelar Network's assessment for RD-F-069 — scored not_applicable on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

Factor applies to algorithmic/under-collateralized stablecoin issuers. Axelar does not issue a stablecoin. AXL is a PoS staking/gas token. axlUSDC and axlUSDT are wrapped/bridged representations backed 1:1 by locked assets in the gateway escrow — not algorithmic designs. PD-024 directs not_applicable for non-stablecoin-issuer protocols.
