Advantages of Dotflat
Full Collateralization
Flatcoins are backed by cryptocurrency, which is locked in a smart contract balance. Users provide this collateral in ETH based on the current price of the cryptocurrency and the commodities in the basket.
Transparency
All balances, terms, quotes, and transactions are publicly available on the blockchain. Any user can access the information at any time.
Decentralization
The system is fully governed by open-source smart contracts, eliminating the possibility of third-party interference and ensuring the system's reliability.
Inflation Protection
The purchasing power of DFC does not change over time. Dotflat enables users to preserve their funds’ value over years and decades by tying the coin to a basket of commodities.
The system’s main governance token is the Rule Token (RLE).
The initial issuance is 1 million RLE, distributed as follows:
- 1 Pre-seed = 50 000 RLE
- 2 Advisers = 50 000 RLE
- 3 Pre-sales = 240 000 RLE
- 4 IDO = 360 000 RLE
- 5 Liquidity = 100 000 RLE
- 6 DFC team = 200 000 RLE
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Dotflat
How does the Dotflat oracle system work?
Dotflat oracles transmit commodity price data to the blockchain. This data helps automatically recalculate flatcoin prices based on market changes.
How is the value of the Dotflat flatcoin determined?
Dotflat’s value depends on the prices of goods in the commodity basket, which includes goods like gold, oil, copper, agricultural products, and others. It currently contains 34 items.
How can I get Dotflat flatcoins?
You can buy Dotflat on cryptocurrency exchanges or issue them yourself by providing ETH as collateral. Issuance is done through a smart contract, which locks ETH and determines the number of flatcoins you will receive based on the current ETH price and the value of the Dotflat commodity basket.
How does Dotflat’s collateral system work?
Every issued flatcoin is backed by ETH collateral. The collateral is accepted with a 30% discount, providing additional risk protection. If the ETH price falls, the user is given two options: increase the collateral or return part of the issued flatcoins. If neither action is taken, the system automatically auctions the collateral to cover the debt.
Why was ETH chosen as the reserve currency?
ETH, one of the largest and most widely used cryptocurrencies globally, was chosen for its high capitalization, liquidity, and ability to execute smart contracts on its blockchain. In the future, we plan to expand the list of reserve currencies.
What’s more profitable: buying Dotflat or issuing them yourself?
Buying Dotflat on the secondary market is beneficial for long-term investments or trading if their price is below the indicative value. Issuing flatcoins is suitable for those expecting ETH growth. As the price increases, so does the collateral amount. The user can either return part of their collateral or increase flatcoin issuance.
Can the composition of the commodity basket be changed?
Dotflat governance token holders can influence the composition of the commodity basket by voting to add or remove items. This allows the basket to adapt to global market changes and community preferences.
How safe is the Dotflat system?
The risks are minimized through the collateral mechanism and the oracle system. Even with significant ETH or commodity price fluctuations, Dotflat automatically regulates issuance and collateral protection through smart contracts and auctions.
Where do the commodity price quotes come from?
Currently, Dotflat's commodity prices are parsed from investing.com and then transferred to the blockchain centrally. We are working on decentralizing this process and plan to implement it soon.
