  An algorithmic stablecoin maintains its price stability through a combination of smart contract algorithms and market mechanisms. The smart contract algorithms monitor the supply and demand of the stablecoin and adjust the coin's price accordingly. For example, if the price of the stablecoin is above its target value, the algorithm will increase the supply of the stablecoin, which will decrease its price. On the other hand, if the price is below the target value, the algorithm will decrease the supply, which will increase the price. This continuous monitoring and adjustment help to keep the stablecoin's price stable.

  Maintaining price stability is crucial for an algorithmic stablecoin, and it is achieved through a process called arbitrage. When the price of the stablecoin deviates from its target value, arbitrageurs step in to take advantage of the price difference. If the stablecoin's price is higher than the target value, arbitrageurs will buy the stablecoin on the market and redeem it for the underlying assets, which will increase the supply of the stablecoin and bring its price down. Conversely, if the price is lower than the target value, arbitrageurs will buy the underlying assets and mint new stablecoins, increasing the demand and pushing the price up. This continuous arbitrage activity helps to maintain the stablecoin's price stability.
