Firstly, the initial vetoing of proposals by a minority of voting power acts as a filter to the system. This filter primarily prevents bad debt and secondarily filters for sustainable and sufficiently high yields. Secondly, MaxCap stakers' accrued yield funds redemptions when yields are lower than Truflation. When yields exceed Truflation, the excess yield compounds and remains in the treasury for the staking period, at which time it can be withdrawn. The system is kept secure if 1. the backstop remains sufficient and 2. the MaxCap staking period lasts longer than the low-yield season, ideally still leaving some yields for the MaxCap holders. To this end, MaxCap stakers vote to cap the minting of NUON proportionally to available, expected yields. At launch, however, the system as described, lacks an initial excess. In the following section, we explain the mechanisms used in the bootstrapping phase of Nuon v2. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://whitepaper.nuon.fi/architecture/backstops.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
