The PSM works by allowing users to exchange DAI for USDC or other fiat-pegged stablecoins at a fixed exchange rate. This exchange rate is designed to maintain a stable peg to the US dollar and is set slightly above $1 to ensure that the price of DAI remains stable.

According to MakerDAO, the offboarding will involve a maximum debt ceiling of zero, a liquidation penalty of zero percent, a flat kick incentive of zero, and a liquidation ratio of 1500% on all three vault types.
