DigiDollar collateral: lockups by term and forward liquidity
Every DigiDollar mint locks DGB as collateral for a fixed term and publishes its unlock height on-chain. DigiScope indexes every position since activation, which makes two things visible that no node RPC exposes: how much DGB sits in each lock tier from one month to ten years, and when that collateral becomes eligible for release.
The forward view is deliberately framed as a ceiling rather than a schedule. Reaching an unlock height only makes collateral eligible — redemption is voluntary, requires burning the DigiDollars the position minted, and a matured position can stay locked indefinitely. So alongside the projection we publish the observed redemption rate measured from chain history, never a modelled assumption about holder behaviour. Set against DigiByte's mining emissions, this shows whether DigiDollar is a material factor in future DGB liquidity.
Frequently asked questions
- How much DGB is locked in DigiDollar?
- The page reports total collateral across all open positions, broken down by lock tier, as of a stated block height. Figures are indexed from chain, not estimated.
- What lock terms does DigiDollar offer?
- Ten tiers: 30 days, 90 days, 180 days, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years and 10 years, plus a 0-day testing tier. Longer locks require less collateral per dollar minted.
- Does an unlock height mean the DGB returns to circulation?
- No. It means the collateral becomes eligible for release. Redemption is voluntary and requires burning the DigiDollars the position minted, so a matured position can remain locked indefinitely. The forward curve is a ceiling on what could be released, not a forecast.
