Who controls it
Mustang MUST is a Liquity V2-style, crypto-collateralized debt token without a conventional issuer blocklist, but a disclosed 2-of-3 governance Safe controls protocol parameters.
- Backing
- Liquity V2-style overcollateralized crypto borrower positions.
- Holder’s claim
- MUST is protocol debt supported by collateral and liquidation mechanics rather than a reserve issuer’s obligation.
- Redemption or sale
- Holders can redeem through the protocol or sell in the market, subject to collateral health, fees, and system parameters.
Dependencies
- 2-of-3 governance Safe
- Collateral and oracle quality
- Liquidation and stability-pool mechanics
- Exact deployed contracts
Losses and incidents
- We found no control, reserve, or redemption incident in the sources we reviewed.
Advisor notes
Controlling party: Mustang governance, including a disclosed 2-of-3 Safe. 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.
