ECO Price (ECO)

What is Eco?

The Eco Currency is intended to serve as a decentralized alternative to fiat currencies. Other cryptocurrencies either fix their monetary policies and admit exchange rate volatility, or attempt to limit volatility and achieve dollar parity through various policies.

Eco does not treat dollar-parity as a proxy for utility. Eco is a free-floating currency designed to achieve its aims through monetary policy transparently established and managed by a representative group of governing “Trustees” who are elected by the community of Eco holders. Trustees have one core mandate: to maximize the wealth held in ECO. As with many other token systems, Eco currency holders are also empowered to vote on community proposals and protocol upgrades.

Eco features two tokens: the variable supply base currency (ECO), and a deflationary supply token (ECOx) intended to incentivize long-term holders and bootstrap an open market signaling expectations for ECO adoption. These tokens, together with the various contracts and components that support them, form the Eco Currency Protocol.

What makes Eco unique?

Real Consumers use Eco

We’ve been waiting a decade for someone to build a bridge for the mainstream world to benefit from crypto. Starting with the Eco App and its network of partners, products built on top of Eco do exactly that — and it's only the beginning. More are in the works, giving everyone access to crypto-powered financial services while onboarding them to the Eco Currency.

Real Community drives adoption

The community building and supporting Eco is unlike any other. It’s a wildly active, inspiring and driven group unified by one goal: to further adoption of Eco. From deep economic discussion to creative content, you’ll find a place in the Eco Community.

Real Governance makes it work

Eco’s currency, $ECO, is governed by its own monetary policy much like the fiat currencies we use every day. But instead of a far-removed central bank setting the policy, an elected group of Eco users (called ‘Trustees’) does so — using better data and better tools, with clearer incentives.

What are the two tokens?

Within the Eco Currency system, there are two tokens. $ECO is the currency itself — governed by its community, with the goal of building an independent currency for saving and spending. $ECOx is the secondary token meant to bootstrap governance and liquidity for the system.

$ECO is the base currency for spending and saving, with supply governed by monetary policy.

$ECOx is the secondary asset for ensuring sound governance and supporting responsible growth.
