Ready to De-risk your stablecoins?
“There is extreme cause for concern to the holders of Tether that they could lose access to funds overnight (if assets are seized by regulators).”
Edan Yago, Founder, Cement DAO
Do you use these stablecoins:
Fiat collateralised stablecoins
The value of these and other fiat collateralised stablecoins exposes coin holders to counter party risks such as:
- Assets seizure by regulators
- Fraud or failure of the stablecoin issuer, their agents or their banks.
Stablecoins with fiat collateral are also exposed the systemic risk of another 2008 Financial Crisis. If any of these events occur the value of the stablecoins you hold could fall to zero.
These risks are exactly what Satoshi Nakamoto wished to avoid when he invented Bitcoin!
Saver Token Is Different
- Saver Token is built like Bitcoin and gives you the functions of a stablecoin without counter party and systemic risk.
- The 5 – 10 minutes of extra time it takes to park your assets in Saver Tokens on the Waves DEX also reduces the risk of funds being hacked.

In Ourselves We Trust
Saver Token represents a return to the basic principles of good money, not just in keeping a stable value but in the way it operates.
- Like Bitcoin and the US dollar token holders give Saver Token its value. Learn more.
- In the same way people kept the value of gold stable for thousands of years token holders keep the value of Saver Token pegged to the Consumer Price Index.
The result is:
- The value of Saver Tokens is not dependent upon any external authority, including us the issuer.
- Saver Token can track the CPI even in periods of high inflation.
- Tokens and their value reside solely on the decentralised blockchain keeping them secure and away from external interference.
- People with the most vested interest in Saver Token, token holders themselves, are the ones responsible for maintaining its value.
Compare this with a digital currency like Tether where the value of the coin depends upon redemptions into US dollars. Redemptions require the effective functioning of both the Tether company and its bankers. If Tether’s dollar assets become unavailable because of fraud, bank failure or seizure by regulators, the value of Tether’s coins could fall to zero.
Only buy Saver Tokens if you are willing to trade them at the Target Price of the CPI-U. It is your responsibility.

Even if you are a seasoned financial expert I encourage you to learn more about the extraordinary human creation called money. Only people, not banks or governments can give money its value. This understanding, exemplified by Bitcoin is empowering. Saver Token is no different. You the token holder, not us as the issuer give the money its value.
People can also create stable money. They gave gold its stability for thousands of years simply because they needed a stable means of exchange. In the same way token holders are expected to keep the value of Saver Token pegged to the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U). In my opinion stable money created in this way is, well, more stable and has fewer risks than collateralised methods.
I personally recommend the books and blog of Nathan Lewis. In Gold the Final Standard Nathan provides a jargon-free history of money and how stable money has worked for centuries.
The blockchain gives us a tool to do more with money than ever before. I believe this new money will be a conscious act of creation by people who understand where its value comes from.
