- Line 35: Update the Markdown image reference for "Full History of Djed
Alliance" to use an absolute path style like /images/Djed and Djed Alliance Full
History.webp instead of the current relative ../images/...; locate the image tag
starting with "" and replace the path portion with "/images/Djed and Djed
Alliance Full History.webp" so it matches the absolute-path convention used by
other articles.
In @public/articles/why-native-stablecoins-are-essential-for-blockchains.md:
- Line 13: The phrase "long term stability" in the article text should be
hyphenated as "long-term stability" when used as a compound adjective; update
the sentence containing "long term stability and value" to read "long-term
stability and value" (replace the unhyphenated phrase).
- Around line 42-53: The three broken links and outdated exploit statistics in
the "While the introduction..." paragraph must be fixed: replace the CNBC $1.4B
link, the Harmony Horizon link, and the BNB Bridge link with working,
authoritative sources (e.g., archived pages, reputable reports or
etherscan/incident postmortems) and update the BNB Bridge wording to clarify
that the $586M was total value withdrawn while only ~$100–110M was moved
off-chain; keep the Harmony ($100M), Wormhole ($325M) and Nomad (~$200M) figures
but cite accessible sources for each (use the anchor texts "Harmony Horizon
Bridge", "BNB Bridge", "Wormhole", "Nomad Bridge" in-place), and append a brief,
cited update listing major bridge exploits from 2023–2024 with accessible
sources to bring the statistics current as of Jan 2026.

11-11: Minor style refinement: simplify "outside of".Line 11 uses "factors outside of the issuer's control." Consider simplifying to "factors outside the issuer's control" for a more concise phrasing.
96-98: Optional: Improve conciseness in conclusion.Two minor wording suggestions:
- Line 98: "in order to facilitate" → "to facilitate"
- Line 98: "a variety of external factors" → consider "numerous" or "various"
These changes would tighten the prose without altering meaning.
11-11: Consider verifying external link validity.The article cites multiple external sources (Bloomberg, CoinDesk, Cointelegraph, Bitcoin.com). While the sources appear reputable and contextually relevant, URLs can become stale over time. If possible, verify that links still resolve and content hasn't been moved or paywalled.
Would you like me to generate a script to check the HTTP status of these external URLs, or search the web for any updated references?

15-21: Optional: Vary sentence structure to reduce repetition.Lines 15, 19, and 21 all begin with "In [time period]." While this is natural for historical narratives, consider varying the structure in at least one case for readability. For example, line 19 could be restructured as: "Some engineers from the original collaboration team founded dcSpark in 2021, which is now..."
27-27: Optional: Simplify "taking into account."Line 27 uses "taking into account lessons learned." Consider more concise alternatives: "incorporating lessons learned," "considering lessons," or "accounting for lessons." This would improve flow.
public/articles/why-native-stablecoins-are-essential-for-blockchains.md (1)
47-47: Optional: Use more formal terminology.Line 47 uses "multi-sigkeys" which is common in crypto informal usage. For a formal article, consider "multi-signature keys" or simply "private keys" (depending on context). The current term is understandable but slightly non-standard.

1-103: Content quality and structure are excellent.The article provides a comprehensive, well-researched explanation of stablecoin depegging mechanics. The progression from theory (primary/secondary markets) to concrete examples is clear and educational. Examples are specific, dated, and credible. Sections are well-organized and images support the narrative effectively.
5-5: All image assets referenced in the article are present in the repository.public/articles/the-history-of-djed-and-the-djed-alliance.md (1)
1-35: Strong historical narrative with credible sourcing.The article provides a well-documented chronological account of Djed's development, from protocol design (2020) through multi-chain deployment (2021-2023). Organizations, individuals, and key milestones are specific and contextually accurate. Academic collaboration and institutional partnerships add credibility. The concluding visual summary enhances clarity.
public/articles/why-native-stablecoins-are-essential-for-blockchains.md (3)
15-15: Verify all external reference links are current and accessible.The article includes multiple external references (Medium articles on depegging and algorithmic stablecoins, Djed documentation, Djed Alliance website, Discord community). While these projects and platforms are well-known, verify that:
- Medium article links still resolve to correct content
- Documentation URL (line 75) points to current, accurate docs
- Djed Alliance website and community Discord are active
All referenced projects (SigmaUSD, Rosen Bridge, Djed protocol) are real, which is good.
Also applies to: 19-19, 37-37, 72-75, 83-83, 85-85
1-85: Well-structured argument for native stablecoins with solid supporting evidence.The article effectively explains the distinction between native and bridged stablecoins, illustrates risks through concrete 2022-2023 exploits, and positions Djed as a technical solution. Arguments are logically sound: security risks of bridges, delays causing arbitrage friction, and value capture through native assets. The three-coin Djed mechanism is explained clearly, and formal verification is a genuine competitive advantage. Overall, persuasive and factually grounded.
1-85: Excellent narrative coherence across the three articles.The three articles form a well-integrated trilogy:
- Article 1 explains the problem (why stablecoins depeg)
- Article 2 provides historical context (Djed's development journey)
- Article 3 presents the solution (why native stablecoins matter, Djed as multi-chain answer)
Cross-references between articles work effectively (e.g., Article 3 line 15 references Article 1). All three conclude with Djed Alliance call-to-action, creating strong narrative continuity. This structure effectively guides readers from problem identification through solution adoption.

Normalize image path to absolute for consistency across articles.
Line 35 uses a relative path ../images/Djed and Djed Alliance Full History.webp while the other article files use absolute paths like /images/understanding-why-and-how-stablecoins-depeg.webp. The file exists and spaces in the filename work correctly, but the path style should be normalized to /images/Djed and Djed Alliance Full History.webp for consistency.

65-65: Clarify the redemption mechanism.The phrasing "bid them for liquidated collateral" is unclear. Consider using "exchange them for liquidated collateral" or "redeem them against liquidated collateral" for clarity.

1-85: Article structure and content quality are solid.The article presents a well-organized argument: introducing native stablecoins → explaining bridges and their limitations → detailing risks → justifying the need for native stablecoins → introducing Djed as a solution. The technical explanations are clear and well-supported with concrete examples of bridge exploits. The disclosure of Djed Alliance's interest in the topic is appropriately placed in the "About" section.

15-15: Some external links return HTTP 403 (forbidden) status—recommend manual browser verification.Automated testing shows several links return 403 status codes, including the Medium articles (line 15, 43, 47-53) and some news sources (Bitget, CNBC at lines 73-75, 83-85). HTTP 403 responses typically indicate either automated request blocking (common with Medium and some news sites) or potentially inaccessible content. Since automated checks cannot definitively determine accessibility, manually verify these links in a browser to confirm they resolve correctly:
- Medium Djed Alliance articles (4 links)
- CNBC articles (2 links)
- Bitget academy article (1 link)
Accessible links verified: Cointelegraph, The Verge articles, Discord, djed.one, rosen.tech, and docs.stability.nexus all returned 200 or valid redirect responses.

| TL;DR: All stablecoins carry inherent risks, which vary from low to high based on their structural design. The use of bridges while promoting asset interoperability, introduces an additional point of failure. When stablecoins are transferred across chains using bridges, the original assets are locked in the bridge, and derivative tokens are issued on the target chain. However, if the bridge is exploited, holders of the derivative will not be able to recover the original assets. As a result, these derivatives become worthless, since the redemption of the underlying assets requires burning the original/native stablecoin. Having a native stablecoin in each ecosystem is crucial for building long term stability and value. |

Fix hyphenation in "long-term stability".
Per standard grammar rules, compound adjectives preceding a noun should be hyphenated.

Standardize multi-sig terminology.
The term "multi-sigkeys" is non-standard. Prefer "multi-sig keys" (two words) to align with common crypto terminology conventions.
