Overview
Understanding the Initial Stablecoin Offering
What is an Initial Stablecoin Offering?
An Initial Stablecoin Offering (ISO) is a new fundraising mechanism pioneered by SAGE. It combines the best aspects of traditional fundraising methods while eliminating their drawbacks, creating a win-win situation for both the project and its supporters.
The ISO is a democratized fundraising mechanism like ICOs where everyone can participate, but without the downside risk as participants hold a regulated stablecoin that can be redeemed at any time.
How the ISO Works
Stablecoin Creation
SAGEUSD, a regulated USD-backed stablecoin, is created with a 1:1 backing of US dollars
User Participation
Users acquire SAGEUSD through various channels, holding it in their own wallets
Reserve Management
The USD reserves backing SAGEUSD are managed to generate yield
Yield Allocation
The yield generated from the reserves is used to fund the development of the SAGE world computer
Points Program
Holders and LP providers earn points that will convert to $SAGE tokens when the network launches
