DigiDollar Is Live: Launch Week by the Numbers
Here is what a decentralized stablecoin looks like when it actually works: one phone paid another, final in about fifteen seconds, with a receipt anyone can check.
That receipt is a transaction ID — b42c76de…511636 — the first mobile-to-mobile DigiDollar transfer on mainnet. No bank, no processor, no "pending 3–5 business days." DigiDollar (DUSD) moved from one wallet to another as a first-class DigiByte transaction, validated by every node on the network, and it was done before you could refresh the page.
DigiDollar activated on DigiByte mainnet on July 17, 2026, at block 23,869,440. It is the first fully decentralized, USD-pegged stablecoin native to a UTXO blockchain — no smart-contract layer, no custodian holding dollars in a bank, no governance token that can vote to change the rules on you. The collateral mechanics, the oracle price consensus, and the minting rules all live in the node software itself.
Launch week by the numbers
These are the live figures from the network as launch week unfolds:
~5.98M DGB locked as collateral, worth roughly $21,400 at the current oracle price.
~$4,200 DUSD in circulating supply.
33 active vaults — independent positions minted by real users.
508% aggregate collateral ratio. Every dollar of DUSD is backed by more than five dollars of locked DGB. The system’s health reads healthy, with no minting restrictions.
The oracle roster is live, reporting well past the 7-of-N MuSig2 quorum the protocol requires to validate a price. The peg’s price feed is current, not stale.
Every one of those numbers is recomputed by every node, every block — roughly every fifteen seconds. That is the whole point: you don’t trust a quarterly attestation from an auditor. You watch the collateral behind the supply, in real time, on a page that reads straight from the chain.
See it yourself: the live DigiDollar statistics page.
Why over-collateralized, and why no liquidations
A 30-day position requires 500% collateral; a 10-year lock requires only 200%. Shorter locks face more price volatility, so they carry a bigger safety margin. Longer locks have time to weather the cycles.
And unlike MakerDAO-style systems, there are no forced liquidations. Your DGB is time-locked, not margin-locked. If DGB drops 50% the day after you mint, no one — not an oracle, not another user, not the protocol — can force-sell your collateral. It stays locked until the term you chose expires. You set the terms up front; the chain enforces them.
The oracle set that secures the peg is the same fleet DigiScope runs to serve private wallet sync. The infrastructure that tells the protocol what DGB is worth is the infrastructure that keeps your balance queries private — dual-use, by design.
Build on it, or just try it
Developers integrating against mainnet this month have a procedure page waiting: opening a vault, minting, and redeeming, step by step, in the DigiDollar docs.
Everyone else: the full explainer — lock tiers, oracle consensus, the Taproot/MAST architecture, and the real-world scenarios — lives on the DigiDollar page.
Launch week is a snapshot. The number that matters is the one you can verify yourself, any block, any time. That’s the difference.
