Price Validation
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 USDC or USDT to validate Digital Gold through your account. Checkout shows the total amount of validated DGD. Each account validates an equal amount of DGD as new accounts are added, and more DGD is released, ensuring fair distribution.
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.
This is why we need DGD.
In 24 years, inflation has cut the dollar nearly in half. The euro and franc last longer — but even they keep shrinking. Sound money shouldn't disappear while you hold it.
The Six Pillars of Perfect Money
Digital Gold is perfect money created by improving Bitcoin code. DGD satisfies the six fundamental properties of a sound monetary standard, as discussed in 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 DistributionDigital Gold's use is voluntary. The coin's value is confirmed through Proof-of-Participation. Each funded account validates an equal amount of DGD that is released when new accounts are created and the value of the network grows with adoption.
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.
Secure the Network. By Installing a Digital Gold Wallet/Node.
Wallets run on PCs & Macs. It's self-custodial, meaning it's a vault storing your Digital Gold, on your computer, under your control. The wallet also serves as a decentralized financial ledger tracking DGD movement, giving the network and coin the majority of its value.

21 Million DGD — A Fair Distribution for All
21 million DGD will ever exist. 19 million can circulate; 2 million are locked (staked) forever to keep the network secure. Once DGD is fully distributed, no new coins are ever released. DGD is released to validating accounts as the network grows adoption, then transactions & transaction value.
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 Adoption Curve
DGD's model uses confirmed network growth as the input. Each new account and wallet/node advances the network value, updates the coin price, increases the circulating supply, and the next release amount.
Coin value increases as the network confirms new wallets/nodes.
DGD is priced at the last validated value. The value is based on Adoption, Transactions, Transaction Value & Developer Ecosystem and already agreed to by the Community who freely use it.
DGD is distributed equally to each funded & validating account as new wallets/nodes are added and coins are made available. This occurs until there are no more DGD to distribute.
Digital Gold is distributed to each funded account for price validation. Price is determined based on a community-agreed value, based on new wallets/nodes. When new coins are purchased by funded accounts that sets the last price.
How to Validate & Acquire DGD
Install Your Wallet & Create Your Account
Download the Digital Gold wallet to your computer first — that's where you vault your DGD. Create a DigitalGold.CO account and link that to your wallet address.
Validate with USDC or USDT
Add ERC-20 USDC or USDT to your DigitalGold.CO account. This is where you validate DGD's price and receive your fair distribution as coins are released.
DGD is released with Adoption
As the number of wallets/nodes grow the network value grows. DGD is delivered for validation across funded accounts. Each signup triggers immediate distribution and wallet delivery to your desktop/laptop wallet.
