Alloy by Tether falls under a new category of digital assets known as tethered assets. These assets are designed to mirror the value of reference assets through sophisticated stabilization mechanisms, such as over-collateralization with liquid assets and secondary market liquidity pools. This ensures a consistent value and stability relationship between the reference asset and its digital equivalent.
Introduction of aUSD₮
The first token in the Alloy by Tether series is aUSD₮, a digital currency pegged to the US dollar’s value. What makes aUSD₮ unique is its over-collateralization by Tether Gold (XAU₮), meaning it is backed by physical gold stored in Switzerland. Users can create aUSD₮ tokens by using Tether Gold (XAU₮) as collateral. This presents a significant advantage for those interested in digital transactions and remittances without needing to sell off their XAU₮ holdings.
Alloy by Tether leverages smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum Mainnet. Users can generate aUSD₮ by depositing Tether Gold (XAU₮) as collateral through a transparent process managed by Ethereum-compatible smart contracts. These contracts ensure transparency by monitoring all collateral and minted tokens, and utilizing Price Oracles to continuously evaluate the Mint to Value (MTV) ratio.
