View ChartFei USD (FEI) is a DeFi-native algorithmic stablecoin issued on the Ethereum blockchain by Fei Protocol. The project aims to occupy a middle ground between rigid, overcollateralized decentralized stablecoins and centralized custodial stablecoins. FEI is designed to maintain a target peg of $1 USD through a mechanism called "direct incentives," which the protocol describes as more capital efficient and fully decentralized than alternative approaches. The stablecoin is collateralized by a Protocol Controlled Value (PCV) reserve, and the protocol uses the value it controls to maintain liquid secondary markets while earning yield for itself. Fei Protocol operates with two crypto assets: the FEI stablecoin and the TRIBE governance token. FEI has a circulating supply in the range of approximately 3.6 million to 3.7 million tokens, with a total supply of about 3.93 million. The token has no hard cap, meaning additional supply may enter circulation over time. According to the official X account, Fei USD is no longer under development, and users are advised to proceed carefully.
Fei Protocol was founded by Joey Santoro, Brianna Montgomery, and Sebastian Delgado. Joey Santoro served as Founder at Fei Protocol and CEO of Fei Labs. His background is in software engineering and crypto, having previously worked as a software engineer at Okta Inc, a software company helping businesses manage digital identities. He graduated from Duke University in 2019 with a major in computer science, where he also served as a research assistant and co-president of the local Blockchain Lab. Brianna Montgomery served as the project's business lead. Prior to joining the Fei team, she worked as a business lead at ConsenSys, a blockchain studio building projects on Ethereum. She also held similar roles at Coriant, DefenseStorm, and nCino, and holds a magna cum laude degree in business administration, marketing, and economics from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington. Sebastian Delgado is listed as a co-founder. The project was founded in December 2020 and raised $19 million in VC investment in early March 2021 from investors including Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), Coinbase Ventures, Nascent, and Framework Ventures.
Fei Protocol utilizes a method called direct incentives to maintain price stability for its stablecoin. FEI is designed to allow for flexible upgrades and arbitrary incentive mechanisms to maintain its $1 USD peg target. The stablecoin is collateralized by a Protocol Controlled Value (PCV) reserve. The protocol prioritizes liquidity when deploying its reserve to ensure users are able to trade FEI at high volume. The value controlled by the protocol is used to maintain liquid secondary markets and earn yield for the protocol. There were some issues with the peg in the original mechanism, but through a series of governance upgrades the protocol recovered in the months following launch. Fei v2 was intended to be a major upgrade for the system, slated to launch in late 2021, featuring 1:1 redeemability for FEI against protocol reserves, TRIBE buybacks and backstop, and algorithmic protocol controlled value management.
Fei Protocol positions itself as a technological solution in a sweet spot between rigid overcollateralized decentralized stablecoins and centralized custodial stablecoins. The protocol's direct incentives method is described as more capital efficient and fully decentralized compared to alternatives. Unlike centralized stablecoins that rely on custodial reserves, FEI uses value controlled by the protocol to maintain liquid secondary markets. This approach aims to provide a stablecoin that is both capital efficient and fully decentralized. The protocol also earns yield for itself through its reserve management, creating a self-sustaining economic model. The dual-token system of FEI and TRIBE allows for governance through the TRIBE token while maintaining the stablecoin's peg target. The protocol prioritizes liquidity when deploying its reserve, ensuring users can trade FEI at high volume.
FEI serves as a stablecoin designed to maintain a $1 USD peg target, making it suitable for transactions, trading, and as a store of value within the DeFi ecosystem. The TRIBE token provides governance utility for managing the Fei DAO and allows holders to participate in protocol decisions. Users can provide liquidity to the FEI/TRIBE Uniswap LP pools to earn passive yield as a percentage of transaction fees. FEI is traded across multiple venues and pairs, including FEI/TRIBE on Uniswap v2, FEI/USDC on Uniswap v3, FEI/3CRV on Curve Finance, DPI/FEI on SushiSwap v2, and FEI/ALUSD on Curve Finance. The protocol intends for TRIBE to have a balanced distribution between Community, Team, and Investors, with highest priority given to rewarding the community.
The Fei Protocol ecosystem centers on the FEI stablecoin, the TRIBE governance token, and the Protocol Controlled Value reserve that collateralizes FEI. Trading activity spans multiple decentralized exchanges on Ethereum, with reported pairs including FEI/TRIBE on Uniswap v2, FEI/USDC on Uniswap v3, FEI/3CRV on Curve Finance, DPI/FEI on SushiSwap v2, and FEI/ALUSD on Curve Finance. FEI is listed and price-tracked on numerous platforms including CoinMarketCap, CoinGecko, Yahoo Finance, and others. However, according to the official X account, Fei USD is no longer under development, and users are advised to proceed carefully. The project's TVL is listed at $7, and CryptoSlate's trading activity assessment gives FEI a reliability decision score of 40 out of 100, which is the minimum for the "Supported" band. Low activity can make the displayed price sensitive to a handful of trades.
FEI is not a mineable cryptocurrency. It is an algorithmic stablecoin issued on the Ethereum blockchain, and its supply is managed through the protocol's mechanisms rather than through mining. Users can earn yield by providing liquidity to the FEI/TRIBE Uniswap LP pools, receiving a percentage of transaction fees as passive income. The protocol itself earns yield through its Protocol Controlled Value reserve management. TRIBE, the governance token, provides voting utility for managing the Fei DAO, and the protocol intends for TRIBE to have a balanced distribution between Community, Team, and Investors, with highest priority given to rewarding the community.
Storing FEI securely requires using a reputable wallet that supports Ethereum-based tokens, such as hardware wallets or well-established software wallets. Users should always verify contract addresses before interacting with any token, including the official FEI contract address on Ethereum. Since FEI is an ERC-20 token, it can be stored in any wallet compatible with the Ethereum network. It is important to keep private keys and seed phrases secure and never share them with anyone. Users should be aware that the top 10 wallet addresses hold 87.36% of all available tokens, which may include exchange wallets, and should consider the concentration risk this represents. Additionally, according to the official X account, Fei USD is no longer under development, so users should proceed carefully and stay informed about the project's status. Investing in crypto-assets carries significant market risk, including extreme volatility and the potential loss of entire capital.
