Rules to stop printing the Hive Backed Dollar (HBD) when the supply is too high. This is based upon the market capitalization of HBD and $HIVE and the ratio between each.
HBD printing for the Decentralized Hive Fund () does not follow these rules and will continue to print HBD regardless of the supply.
The ratio was changed in Hard Fork 26. It was previously 10% and was increased to 30% in the hard fork.
What is affected the most is the author and curator rewards. Those who select 50/50 payouts will receive liquid $HIVE in lieu of HBD. This will continue until the ratio drops below the haircut level.
The conversion of HIVE-to-HBD conversion mechanism is also not operational during these times.
