  • Operating on Ethereum Mainnet, aUSDT uses smart contracts and Price Oracles for transparency and security, maintaining a stable mint-to-value ratio.
  • Regulated in El Salvador and incentivized by a 2:1 USDT bonus, aUSDT is tied to the USDT, Tether’s digital dollar designed to attract users and increase the market depth of digital assets.

aUSDT has the advantage of being pegged to Tether Gold and fully collateralized to meet any eventualities. This is an open recognition with the base asset aUSDT which may be achieved through the depositing of XAUt where up to 75 percent of the value of the deposited asset may be minted as the aUSDT tokens. The synthetic dollar retains theoretical and actual value by using this method. Tether Gold has a market capitalization of $570,000,000 and is a stablecoin backed by physical bars of gold stored in Switzerland.

The new aUSDT offer is being designed for the target audience that is willing to use cryptocurrency for making payments and remittances while not selling the tokens backed by gold. This innovative solution allows for having a stable digital currency for its use in transactions while ensuring the gold used as collateral retains its value.

This platform relies on the Mainnet on Ethereum; it employs smart contracts compatible with Ethereum to facilitate minting. These contracts maintain a record of all the given collateral as well as the newly generated tokens that enhance its safety and accountability. The minting stability of aUSDT is the function of Price Oracles that also help periodically assess the mint-to-value ratio.
