What is CZAR and How to Use it?

Last Updated 2 years ago

WHAT IS CZAR?

CZAR is a stable coin pegged to the South African Rand, backed and built by a secure and reliable cryptocurrency exchange.

CZAR utilizes blockchain technology to allow for the storage, sending, and receiving of a digital token that is pegged to the South African Rand at a 1:1 ratio and is fully backed and always convertible at exactly 1 CZAR to R1.00, on ChainEX, giving it a stable price.

CZAR is a digital currency, built upon the Binance blockchain, that is pegged to the South African Rand, being a “stable” reserve asset. It is designed in this way to reduce volatility relative to unpegged cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, while still inheriting some of their most powerful qualities, being:

  • CZAR is transparent, global, and accessible to anyone on the internet twenty-four hours a day;
  • CZAR is fast, cheap, and secure to transmit;
  • CZAR is digitally native to the internet and programmable.

CZAR is backed by South African Rands of at least equal fair value to the amount of CZAR that has been minted and is stored in accounts with regulated financial institutions.

CZAR tokens are not money but are new assets that move across the blockchain just as easily as other digital currencies and thus facilitating the use of South African Rands in a digital manner. CZAR gives customers the ability to transact with a traditional currency across the blockchain, without the inherent volatility typically associated with a digital currency.
