Cryptocurrency is a digital currency secured by cryptography, making it nearly impossible to counterfeit. It is not controlled by central authorities, ensuring its decentralization. Most cryptocurrencies are based on blockchain technology, which supports transaction transparency and security.

CENTUS is a new type of stablecoin whose value is pegged to the cost of living, unlike traditional stablecoins which are tied to specific assets such as fiat currencies. The primary goal of CENTUS is to provide token holders with stable purchasing power even in the face of changes in the cost of living.

The CENTUS token is available for purchase on the DEX UniSwap (decentralized exchange) in the BNB Chain (Binance) network – you can buy and sell CENTUS and earn seigniorage and basic income right now.

A distinguishing feature of CENTUS compared to other stablecoins is that its holders can protect their assets from inflation. CENTUS owners regularly receive payments in the form of seigniorage to compensate for inflation. The inflation compensation amount is determined based on inflation data from the previous month provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Every CENTUS holder is also entitled to a basic income in BINCOME and BINC tokens. These payouts are made daily, as well as on Tuesdays and Fridays by the Fondation du revenu de base.

CENTUS maintains stability primarily through its seigniorage system, which adjusts the supply of Stable Cent based on market demand. Here’s how it works:

Demand-Driven Supply Adjustment: When the demand for Stable Cent increases, new units are minted, and when demand decreases, the supply is contracted. This is done to maintain the value of Stable Cent close to its peg.
Seigniorage Distribution: The process of creating (minting) or destroying (burning) Stable Cent generates seigniorage. This seigniorage is distributed among CENTUS holders, incentivizing them to hold the currency and participate in its stability.
Market Mechanisms: CENTUS also relies on market mechanisms and trading activities on exchanges where it is listed. This market-based approach helps absorb shocks and stabilize the value.
Community Governance: Decisions regarding supply adjustments and other important aspects may involve community governance, allowing token holders to have a say in the network’s operations.

To work with CENTUS, you need to register an account with Centus.one and specify your Polygon (Ethereum) address in your profile. If you buy CENTUS on a UniSwap DEX, then you don’t need to confirm your identity. However, to purchase CENTUS through a Centus exchanger using a credit card, you must complete the Identity Verification Process (KYC). The Identity verification is important to comply with laws and prevent fraud. Read ici comment commencer …
