How It Works
A unique and adaptive monetary policy to encourage long-term holding while enabling staking income, diversification and inflation protection.
Purchase
Purchase ndau on any available exchange.
If no sellers are available because demand outpaces supply, reserve ndau is released and sold at the target issuance price. This ensures new ndau are issued only when the market can accept it. There is a finite amount of ndau (1,000) at each price level on ndau’s Next Issue Price Curve. All net proceeds are held in an endowment, managed by a nonprofit foundation, for the purpose of managing ndau’s monetary policies and implementing open market operations, much like reserves used by a central bank.
Hold & Use
Transfer ndau from an exchange to the ndau wallet app to earn passive income Ecosystem Alignment Incentives (EAI) up to 10%.
The holding of ndau is rewarded by steadily increasing EAI based on the number of months held, coupled with an additional incentive of up to 5% for holders who lock ndau in their wallets. Unlocked ndau can be transferred to and from other holders directly within the ndau wallet app.
Sell
Transfer ndau from your wallet to any available exchange and sell.
ndau’s unique and adaptive monetary policy includes price stability mechanisms that trigger during moments of negative market pressure. ndau is subject to Stabilization Incentive Burn (SIB), a dynamic fee that is activated whenever the market price is more than 5% below the most recent issued price, to dissuade further sell-off. If selling pressure escalates, the SIB becomes more costly.
If market price falls to a published floor price, the foundation is obligated to buy back and burn ndau from the open market using endowment funds to decrease supply, thus driving the floor price upwards, to stimulate demand and further stabilize ndau’s price.
Transparency. Governance. Trust.
Values that drive ndau’s ecosystem.
