EDGT

As laid out in its whitepaper, Edgecoin offers an innovative solution to the issues surrounding unregulated and non-fiat-backed stablecoins. As a digital asset, it merges the benefits of traditional financial systems with those offered by the Internet: strong infrastructure, regulatory oversight, and currency stability.

To secure a stable peg to the US dollar, EDGT tokens are supported by an array of reserves which include commercial paper, fiat deposits, cash, reserve repo notes, and treasury bills. This is in order to ensure that their total value remains equal to the volume of EDGT tokens circulating in circulation.

A unique feature of Edgecoin is the number of utilities it provides. Users are able to use EDGT to make transactions. Another incentive EDGT holders receive is the Gradecoin which is a DeFi coin designed to reward those who are holding their EDGT tokens in their wallets.

EDGT is issued on the Stellar blockchain, which is secured using the Stellar Consensus Protocol. It has four main properties: “Decentralized control, low latency, flexible trust, and asymptotic security.”

Through SCP, anyone is able to join the process of achieving consensus, and no single entity can end up with the majority of decision-making power. Transactions are also confirmed cheaply and within a few seconds — and safeguards are in place if bad actors attempt to join the network.

EDGT can be purchased on various centralized exchanges such as ProBit Global, CEX.IO, Coinsbit, P2B and HitBTC.
