What is TAUD?
TAUD is a fully-collateralised Australian dollar stablecoin pegged to AUD at 1:1, issued on the Ethereum network. TrueAUD was issued to open up new opportunities for payments, international remittances, and foreign exchange.
In case you don’t know what a stablecoin is, it’s a type of crypto pegged to a stable asset, meaning they remove the volatility factor so often associated with so many other tokens.
Who created TAUD?
In 2019, TAUD was created by TrustToken, a US-based crypto platform tokenising assets from the real world. The platform’s Co-Founder and CEO is Rafael Cosman, who has dedicated his life to studying cryptography and AI.
TrustToken has created fully-collateralised stablecoins called TrueCurrencies for several other national currencies, including USD and GBP.
TrustToken also has a platform called TrueFi where they offer uncollateralised crypto lending.
What does TAUD do?
TAUD was designed to provide users with a non-volatile asset that mimics the price of the real world, whilst offering all the benefits of a traditional currency including fast transaction speeds and lower costs. TAUD can be minted and redeemed via the TrustToken desktop app
