Who controls it
DOLA is debt-backed through FiRM collateral and a USDS peg module; its immutable token has no blocklist, while DAO governance and operational multisigs control minting Feds and risk parameters.
- Backing
- Debt positions in FiRM and liquidity or peg facilities including an issuer-controlled USDS component.
- Holder’s claim
- DOLA is protocol debt backed by borrower obligations and peg mechanisms. No contract promises to redeem it for dollars.
- Redemption or sale
- Holders sell or redeem through the protocol’s borrowing and repayment facilities, its peg modules, or the market; no one redeems it for dollars on demand.
Dependencies
- Inverse Finance governance
- Fed and multisig operations
- FiRM borrower collateral and oracles
- USDS peg-module issuer control
Losses and incidents
- Attackers manipulated Inverse Finance’s price oracles in 2022. The exploits added no token blocklist but still matter for the collateral system.
Advisor notes
Controlling party: Inverse Finance DAO governance and authorized Fed or operational roles. Check whether the client can redeem directly with the issuer. Holding the token on chain leaves every reserve, custody, contract, and legal dependency in place.
On-chain collateral and governance set the terms, but no issuer blocklist exists. This grade can sit beside a sound reserve, a useful product, or a fitting role in a client account. It records who can act on the token and passes no judgment on the product.

Legend: No freeze key: no issuer or administrator can freeze an address at this layer · Governed, no freeze: on-chain collateral and governance set the terms, but no issuer blocklist exists · Mixed control: on-chain mechanisms sit beside custodians, real-world assets, a central transaction orderer, or other parties a court or regulator can compel · Issuer can freeze: a named organization or administrator controls issuance, transfers, reserves, redemption, or address restrictions.
