Use SigmaUSD as a Crypto Dollar Hedge
Protect your crypto value with an algorithmic stablecoin backed by ERG
SigmaUSD is a crypto-native dollar hedge backed by ERG reserves. No bank accounts, no centralized custodians - just math and smart contracts keeping your value stable.
Problem
Centralized stablecoins like USDT and USDC can freeze your funds, require KYC, and depend on traditional banking. You need a truly decentralized alternative.
Solution
SigmaUSD uses an overcollateralized reserve pool of ERG to maintain its peg. Mint SigUSD when you want stability, redeem for ERG when you're ready to exit. No permissions needed.
Step-by-Step Guide
SigmaUSD uses a reserve pool of ERG. SigUSD holders have a claim on the dollar value, while SigRSV holders absorb volatility in exchange for fees. The system maintains 400-800% collateralization.
