11-11: Apply concise language suggestions from style analysis.

Three style improvements flagged:

  1. Line 11: "outside of" → "outside" (redundant phrasing)
  2. Line 98: "in order to" can be simplified to "to"
  3. Line 98: "a variety of external factors" → "multiple external factors" or "various factors" (less wordy)

47-92: Consider standardizing image filenames to slug-based naming conventions.

The image files (e.g., "USDT depegging to $0.95 shortly after the LUNA UST crisis. Source CoinMarketCap.webp") currently use descriptive text with spaces in filenames. While this naming convention is consistently applied throughout the repository, adopting slug-based naming (e.g., usdt-depeg-may-2022.webp) would align with common web asset naming practices and improve clarity in version control history.

18-18: Improve sentence variety and conciseness.

Two style refinements:

  1. Line 18: Three consecutive sentences begin with "In" (lines 17, 18, 21), creating monotonous rhythm. Restructure at least one for variety.
  2. Line 27: "taking into account" is verbose; consider "considering" or "leveraging" as a more concise alternative.

1-7: YAML front matter and metadata look good.

The article is well-structured with clear title, author attribution, publication date, feature image, and excerpt. The opening section contextualizes stablecoins effectively and flows naturally into the mechanics explanation.


11-102: Content accuracy verified against recent crypto events.

The article's key examples and mechanisms are factually grounded:

  • USDT/LUNA depeg (May 2022): The Luna collapse wiped out over $50bn in market capitalization, consistent with your description.
  • USDC depeg (March 2023): Circle had $3.3 billion deposited with Silicon Valley Bank, and USDC lost its peg to the U.S. dollar, aligning with your $0.88 figure.
  • The explanation of how secondary market prices diverge from pegs and how arbitrage typically restores them is sound.
  • The taxonomy of depeg triggers (market volatility, liquidity, technical issues, macro factors, regulatory) reflects real-world patterns.

The article provides accessible education on a complex topic without oversimplification.

1-7: YAML front matter is well-formatted.

Title, author ("Zahnentferner"), publication date (2023-04-03), feature image, and excerpt are all clearly defined. The metadata is complete and appropriate.


11-33: Historical narrative is accurate and well-sourced.

Key milestones and dates have been verified against official Djed Alliance documentation:

  • Protocol creation started in 2020 by a collaboration team comprising researchers and engineers affiliated with Ergo, Emurgo and Input Output, matching your account.
  • The longest-running Djed deployment has been in Q1 2021 and its stablecoin has never lost the peg, consistent with your SigmaUSD section.
  • The technical white paper was released to the public in July 2021 and Zahnentferner named the protocol Djed, after an ancient Egyptian pillar-like symbol representing stability.
  • In 2021, some engineers founded dcSpark, which built Milkomeda-C1, and together with VacuumLabs implemented Djed in Solidity and deployed to Milkomeda-C1 in February 2022.
  • In February 2022, Zahnentferner founded the Djed Alliance.

The article provides a clear, chronological narrative of the protocol's evolution across multiple blockchain ecosystems and successfully contextualizes Djed within the broader stablecoin landscape.


35-35: Image path is correct and file exists.

The relative path ../images/Djed and Djed Alliance Full History.webp correctly resolves to public/images/ and the file is present. No action needed.
