A decision guide that helps users evaluate whether a stablecoin use case makes sense for them.

Workflow

1. Ask what the user wants to do with the stablecoin: hold, send, earn, convert, or use as a buffer.
2. Ask about the specific stablecoin, platform, or protocol being considered.
3. Assess the use case against alternatives: keeping cash, using a bank, holding ETH instead.
4. Identify risks: depeg risk, platform risk, regulatory risk, counterparty risk.
5. Give a fit decision: recommended, conditional, or not recommended for their situation.
