To mint a Mirror asset (mAsset), an issuer must lock up > 150% of the current asset value in Terra stablecoins OR mAssets as collateral. If the value of the asset rises above the collateralization threshold, the collateral is liquidated to guarantee solvency of the system.

To target the price of the mAsset, the system reads in underlying asset prices via a decentralized price oracle - prices are updated every 30 seconds. When the price of the mAsset drifts significantly from the primary market, traders are incentivized to purchase / sell the asset to mint / burn to claim the collateral.

To burn a mAsset, the issuer must burn the equal amount of mAssets issued when opening the CDP - the collateral is then returned to the issuer.
