The short answer: Silk is our stablecoin powered by Shade Protocol.
Token Symbol: SILK
The long answer: SILK is a privacy-preserving collateralized reflexive currency pegged to a basket of global currencies and commodities. With six second transactions, SILK is fast and agile. SILK is a futuristic stablecoin that acts as an interoperability hub between global currencies - acting as a perpetual hedge against macro volatility and inflation.
Stablecoins to date suffer from four key problems:
Stability
Foreign Exchange Risk (FX Risk)
Privacy
Interoperability
SILK uniquely solves each of these components, positioning itself to be a truly futuristic Web3 currency.
