# Experimentation ### Ethos First and foremost we aim create a usable, stable, and decentralized asset. As such, we do not view capital efficiency or partial collateralization as an immediate goal. Even so, to stay competitive long-term, we do want to enable the protocol to evolve over time if novel solutions are discovered and become battle-tested. ### Experimentation All experimentation will be controlled by governance. At launch no experiments will be active, and we **do not** recommend launching any experiments until the reserve has had time to significantly over-collateralize, and only doing so in cases where inaction would be existential to maintaining the protocols existing dominance. It's imperative that any secondary stability mechanisms, especially those that aim for partial collateralization, follow our design principles: 1. The underlying model (or one very similar) has been tested and validated in production on a different stablecoin protocol. 2. The reserve is sufficiently over-collateralized such that a failure in the experiment will be able to be canceled while still maintaining over-collateralization of the system. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://emptysetsquad.gitbook.io/empty-set-v2/expiramentation.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. 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.
