USDC depeg can lead to undercollateralized positions

Perennial is a USD-settled protocol, and the oracle price feeds are expected to be USD based. All settlements happen in DSU, however, which is USDC based. Therefore, in the case of a USDC depeg, undercollateralized positions may be created.

The undercollateralized positions created during a USDC depeg do not lead to any accounting errors within the protocol. They also balance out after the depeg period ends, so there is no lasting impact.
