Back to Ecosystem

An algorithmic stablecoin pegged to the price of gold (XAU/USD), utilizing seigniorage, price oracles, and excess ERG collateral.

DexyGold is an experimental algorithmic stablecoin designed to track the price of gold (XAU/USD) using Ergo's Oracle Pools for price data. The protocol uses seigniorage mechanisms and overcollateralization to maintain its gold peg, creating a decentralized digital representation of gold value.

The design builds on lessons from SigmaUSD and other algorithmic stablecoins, adapting the approach for commodity-pegged assets. ERG serves as collateral, with the protocol minting and burning tokens to maintain price stability. Oracle Pools provide trustless gold price feeds that the smart contracts use to adjust supply.

DexyGold explores how blockchain technology can create accessible exposure to gold prices without requiring physical custody or trust in centralized issuers. The prototype demonstrates Ergo's capability for implementing sophisticated financial instruments while maintaining decentralization and transparency.
