What is DigiDollar?

DigiDollar is a USD-pegged stablecoin built natively into DigiByte. It uses an over-collateralized model where users lock DGB to mint DUSD at the current oracle price of DGB.

The world's first truly decentralized stablecoin native on a UTXO blockchain, enabling stable value transactions without centralized control.

DGB becomes the strategic reserve asset (21B max, only 2.23 DGB per person on Earth right now). Everything happens inside DigiByte Core wallet. You never give up control of your private keys. No centralized company, fund or pool. Pure decentralization.

Current Status

• Single Oracle Testing - This beta uses one oracle node for price feeds. Production will use a decentralized oracle network.
• Testnet Only - All DGB and DUSD on testnet have no real value.

Quick Start

1. Use a Separate Data Directory

If you already have DigiByte Core installed, use a separate data directory for DigiDollar testing. This keeps your existing installation completely isolated.

2. Create Config File

Create digibyte.conf inside your data directory:

# DigiDollar Testnet Config
testnet=1
server=1
txindex=1

[test]
digidollar=1
addnode=44.251.30.49
debug=digidollar

3. Launch the Wallet

The DigiDollar tab will appear automatically.

4. Get Testnet DGB

Since no faucet is available yet, you'll mine testnet DGB directly. This only works on testnet - mainnet requires real mining hardware.

Step 1: Get your receive address

In DigiByte-Qt, go to the Receive tab and click Create new receiving address. Copy your dgbt1... address.

Step 2: Mine testnet DGB

You can mine using either the GUI console or command line:

Option A: GUI Console (easiest)

1. In DigiByte-Qt, go to Window → Console
2. Type: generatetoaddress 1 dgbt1qYOURADDRESSHERE
3. Press Enter and wait - this mines 1 blocks, need to wait 100 blocks to confirm

Option B: Command Line

Note: Mined coins require 100 block confirmations before spending. That's why we mine 110 blocks - your first 10 blocks become spendable immediately.

5. Test DigiDollar features

• View oracle price and network stats on the Overview tab
• Mint DUSD by locking DGB collateral
• Redeem DUSD back to DGB
• Send/receive DUSD
