Crypto WithA Predictable Price
Digital Gold replaces market guesswork with a published pricing curve. As confirmed network accounts grow, the protocol defines the price, supply, and release schedule — distributing new DGD fairly, with every funded account earning the same amount.
CFV metrics are the input behind price, supply, and releases.

How Digital Gold's Price and Releases Work
DGD's price is tied to confirmed validation growth and the published Crypto Fair Value model, not exchange bidding. As accounts confirm, new DGD releases are calculated and split equally across funded accounts through Proof of Participation.
Download the Wallet
Download the Digital Gold QT wallet to your PC, Mac or Linux desktop or laptop (no iOS, Android or Chrome devices). It's where your coins live - only you hold the keys.
Validate DGD with USDC or USDT
Add validation funds through your DigitalGold.co account, with $20 to $500. Before payment, the checkout shows the Estimated DGD for your selected balance. Earn the same amount of DGD as every funded account as the network grows.
Receive Your DGD
As new nodes/wallets add value to the network, new DGD releases are allocated equally across funded accounts. Your DGD is sent to your QT wallet (not your DigitalGold.co web account) immediately when each new account joins.
DGD Is Built to Be Perfect Money
DGD is wealth-preserving currency, designed around the six Austrian pillars of perfect money. It's not meant to be a coin a merchant accepts and then trades back into dollar-backed stablecoins or USD. It is built to move from consumers to merchants and then through entire supply chains back to raw material. DGD is meant to be reliable money.
The Six Pillars of Perfect Money
Digital Gold is a Layer-1 cryptocurrency built from the ground up to satisfy the six fundamental properties of a sound monetary standard identified through Austrian economics.
Scarcity
DeflationaryFixed maximum supply of 21 million DGD — matching Bitcoin. Staking rewards and transaction fees are permanently burned. The 2M Foundation staking lock is non-circulating. Supply can only decrease over time.
Stable Pricing
Oracle-PublishedDGD's price is determined by network adoption measured against the Digital Gold Standard Benchmark — not by speculative trading. Published by the Explorer oracle.
Free Adoption
Fair DistributionEntirely voluntary Proof of Participation. Funded accounts each earn the same amount from every release as more people join. No ICO, no presale, no position buying — inviting is single-level, with no downlines or recruiting-for-income.
Decentralized Governance
Community ConsensusOn-chain community consensus. No central authority capable of altering monetary policy. The 21M cap is permanent. The burn mechanism cannot be reversed.
Freedom to Transact
Tor V3 NativeNative Tor V3 Onion Network addresses enable encrypted, private transactions. Permissionless, censorship-resistant, and known only to the parties involved.
Adequate Circulation
Fast + DeflationaryAs adoption grows and transactions increase the price appreciates so that there is enough DGD to satisfy global commerce, through entire supply chains.
A Coin Price That Goes Up With Adoption
Digital Gold's price isn't set by traders on an exchange. DGD follows a community-agreed formula based on how many people have joined the network — with validation of price starting near $3.40 and designed to climb toward $100,000 and beyond as the network grows.

21 Million DGD — A Fair Distribution for All
21 million DGD exist in total. 19 million can circulate; 2 million are locked forever to keep the network secure. Once 19 million are out, no new coins are ever released. No presale, no ICO, no insiders buying first — coins are released to funded accounts as the network grows.
DGD can circulate only up to 19,000,000 coins. Distribution continues through the published continuous curve and stops permanently once that cap is reached.
Permanently locked in the treasury for staking. These coins will never enter circulation, making the maximum circulating supply strictly 19 million. This lock secures the network against 51% attacks, permanently protecting consensus integrity.
Unvalidated DGD remains in the Foundation treasury. Earned DGD is delivered to QT wallets immediately when each new account signup triggers a distribution.
Mathematical Rhythms & Self-Custody
The Account-Count Curve
DGD's model uses confirmed network accounts as the input. Each new account advances the curve, updating price, circulating supply, and the next release amount.
Coin value increases as the network confirms new wallets/nodes.
Price follows the published validated fair value, instead of exchange order-book speculation.
New DGD is released along with each new account until the circulating supply is fairly distributed.
Each validation point is allocated evenly across accounts with an active validation balance.
