Is Your Stablecoin Prepared for Tomorrow's Cyber-Threats?

USD8 is Your Quantum Leap!

In the fast-paced world of digital finance, stablecoins have become indispensable, providing a vital link between the stability of traditional currencies and the innovation of blockchain. But as technology advances, new challenges emerge. What if your stablecoin could not only offer price stability but also impenetrable security against future threats, ensuring its longevity and safety for decades to come?

Welcome to USD8, a groundbreaking stablecoin meticulously engineered to confront the most critical emerging threat to digital finance: quantum computing.

What Exactly Is USD8?

USD8 is more than just another stablecoin. While many current stablecoins prioritize speed and liquidity, USD8 introduces a crucial third pillar: long-term survival. It marries the proven stability of the US Dollar with the formidable, future-proof security of post-quantum cryptography. Launched on the quantum-secure Abelian and QDay blockchains, USD8 is specifically designed to weather the storms of an increasingly complex digital future.

Who Is Behind USD8, and Can You Trust Them?

The technological services enabling the issuance of USD8 are provided by PQA Technologies Sdn. Bhd., a Malaysian-registered company committed to ensuring USD8 is secure, compliant, and safe for all users.

The team driving USD8 is an impressive collective of veterans from diverse and critical fields:

  • Banking and Investments
  • Technology
  • Cryptography
  • Blockchains
  • Academia

This multidisciplinary expertise allows them to expertly bridge the gap between rigorous traditional financial discipline and the open, innovative blockchain economy.

Why Is Quantum Resistance Crucial for Stablecoins Like USD8?

The primary differentiator for USD8 is its robust quantum resistance. Current cryptographic methods, widely used across digital systems, are vulnerable to the immense computational power expected from future quantum computers.

USD8 proactively addresses this imminent threat:

  • Quantum-Secure Foundations: USD8 will be issued on QDay, a quantum-resistant Proof-of-Stake (PoS) Layer 2, built atop the Proof-of-Work (PoW) Layer 1 Abelian blockchain.
  • Approved Cryptographic Standards: It incorporates advanced cryptographic algorithms such as ML-DSA (digital signatures) and ML-KEM (key encapsulation). These are not experimental; they are recognized as the "gold standards" for post-quantum security, officially approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the US Department of Commerce.

This forward-thinking approach guarantees that USD8 and your transactions remain secure against both common cyberattacks and emerging quantum threats, positioning it as a leading quantum-resistant solution in the stablecoin market.

Where Can You Purchase USD8 as a User?

For users interested in acquiring USD8, the primary current method is through the Abelian Pro mobile app. Soon, USD8 will also become available on QDay Swap, a decentralized exchange (DEX) operating on QDay. The team has future plans to expand its offerings to include more centralized and decentralized exchanges, increasing overall accessibility.

Is there a cost involved? 

Currently, a US$1 fee applies when purchasing USD8 via the Abelian Pro mobile app. This fee helps cover administrative costs and also includes an airdrop of QDAY tokens for purchasers, which can be utilized for subsequent gas fees. The necessity and scope of this fee will be re-evaluated over time.

What Can You Do with USD8? 

Exploring Its Versatile Uses.

USD8's utility extends far beyond merely holding value; it's a versatile financial tool:

  • Decentralized Finance (DeFi): It serves as a stable, secure unit of account for DeFi liquidity pools, mitigating volatility and providing a quantum-secure foundation for decentralized applications.
  • Global Payments and Remittances: USD8 facilitates fast, low-cost transfers for cross-border payments, remittances, and business settlements, effectively bypassing traditional intermediaries and their associated costs and delays.
  • Financial Inclusion & Inflation Hedge: It offers secure access to USD-denominated value for individuals and businesses that might lack traditional banking infrastructure. Furthermore, it provides a safe hedge against inflation, helping to safeguard purchasing power.

How Does USD8 Protect Against Market Volatility?

The core promise of any stablecoin is unwavering stability, and USD8 delivers with a robust backing mechanism:

  • 100% Backed Reserves: USD8 is fully committed to maintaining 100 percent backing by a diversified reserve of cash instruments and short-term US treasuries.
  • Dual-Nature Reserves: These reserves exist in both traditional and tokenized forms, ensuring robust and flexible backing that can adapt to different financial ecosystems.
  • Secure 1:1 Peg: This comprehensive backing guarantees a constant and secure 1:1 peg to the underlying US dollar fiat currency. For users and investors seeking refuge from the often-wild price swings of traditional cryptocurrencies, USD8 offers a reliable and predictable store of value.

Is USD8 Transparent and Compliant?

USD8 understands that trust is paramount in the digital asset space, and it builds this through transparency and strict compliance:

  • Regular Independent Attestations: USD8 undergoes regular assessments conducted by an independent, third-party auditor. These attestations provide an additional layer of assurance, verifying the integrity and backing of the stablecoin for all users.
  • Proof-of-Reserve Technology: To further enhance transparency, USD8 employs Proof-of-Reserve technology. Reserve data is aggregated and served on-chain through a decentralized oracle network, allowing for public, real-time verification.
  • Rigorous Compliance Standards: USD8 is dedicated to upholding stringent compliance standards, including comprehensive AML/KYC (Anti-Money Laundering/Know Your Customer) protocols, adherence to relevant laws and regulations, and collaboration with licensed custodians to ensure asset integrity.

What Makes USD8 the Next Generation Stablecoin?

USD8 distinguishes itself as a pioneering stablecoin by skillfully combining the essential attributes of stability and utility with an unparalleled focus on future-proof security. By proactively tackling the quantum threat and committing to unwavering transparency and compliance, USD8 offers a reliable and secure foundation for your digital assets. Embrace the future of finance with USD8 – stable, secure, and prepared for whatever tomorrow may bring.
