What is PAR (Parallel token)?
PAR is a stablecoin backed by collateral, and can only be minted with governance-approved collaterals. PAR are created when users deposit accepted tokens (such as WETH, WBTC, USDC, etc) as collateral in vaults and in turn receive a loan against that collateral.

There are no counterparties involved in the minting and burning of PAR tokens, as actors in the network transact directly with the PAR smart contracts. Vaults are non-custodial, with each borrower having full control over their collateral and borrowed PAR balances, provided it meets the minimum health factor governed by the protocol as a whole.
