Topic: Reserve, a stable, global currency (a stablecoin) and a digital payment system (Read 105 times)

It is apparent that Billions of people in the world don't have a safe place in which they can keep their money. Most banks has failed the integrity check and cannot be trusted.
We have seen some corrupt Government finding it difficult in maintaining stable value of their currencies. There are a lot of projects in cryptocurrencies both centralized and decentralized coins which were pegged with US Dollar to tackle this problem.

The major problem with the existing fiat money is that their existing currencies are not well managed which has made them to suffered from disorganization and corruption which makes their currencies to lose value at an alarming rate. Such countries includes Venezuela, South Sudan, Dem. Republic of the Congo, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Yemen etc. These troubled currencies are associated with civil war, economic sanctions, hyperinflation

The Reserve project is aiming to solve this problem with a stable decentrized currency. The team members are straightfoward driven and has come to conclusion in building digital currency that the world will get use to like real money. The dedicaton of the team members is very strong and they are intrinsically motivated and energized by their contribution which might include translating complex incentive systems into code, olving fundamental economic puzzles, growing the network of partners to attack the problem together. The based their decion on evidence and reason



Over the past 6 years, Reserve has been building multidisciplinary team that are suited to attack ambitious and complicated problems. Some Government intentionally inflate their currency to pay up debts which will generally hurt the citizens. This is what lead to the creation of Reserve Protocol which is primary aim is to develop a universal store of value where everyone's money should be secured. They are solving this problem with a stable and decentralize currency which cannot be tampered with any Government  because it is distributed globally without anybody be in control of it.


The Reserve project is backed by Peter Thiel, Coinbase and 40 Others

The Reserved Project has received tremendous backing from Coinbase, Peter Thiel, and 40 Others according to this report. Reserve consider that a viable and stable cryptocurrency price will provided solution for countries with high inflation. While the existing cryptocurrency can do the same because of their decentralized nature which kicks out Government intervention but the volatility in price limit their scope from serving most retail uses. With the introduction of stable decentralized currency that cannot be control by any Government, Reserve is providing the solution.

The Reserve Protocol
The Reserve Protocol is design in a way that make it possible to be implemented on top of any smart contract platform, or on the Reserve Chain itself. As at moment, the protocol is being developed on the Ethereum Network but nonetheless, they will ensure interoperability of the Reserve token across other smart contract platforms. The first phase of the production of the Reserve Protocol will contain fiatcoin that is substantially centralized and in the future, each protocol will be migrated to on-chain which will eliminate the control from the founding members and become fully decentralized.
 
The three planned phases of the Reserve Network are

- The centralized phase: This are backed by the US Dollar and are in custody of a trust company
- The decentralized phase: This is backed by a changing basket of assets in a decentralized way, but at all cost,it will still be stabilized in price with respect to the US dollar.
- The independent phase: At thsi period, the Reserve will no longer be paired by US Dollar. The intention of this is to stabilizing the purchase power regardless of the fluctuations in the value of the Dollar.
