Glo Dollar is a fiat-backed stablecoin that generates basic income for people in extreme poverty. 

With Glo Dollar, you can help end extreme poverty just by holding a stablecoin. It's a new, donationless form of philanthropy.

‍That's right—you're funding basic incomes without having to give away money.

In some more detail:

1. You buy Glo Dollar (USDGLO)

• A stablecoin 100% backed by cash and US Treasuries
• Always redeemable 1:1 for US dollars
• Monthly reserve attestations
• Audited smart contracts
• Available on Ethereum, Polygon, and Celo.

See How to buy Glo Dollar.

2. The fiat backing Glo Dollar will be invested and earn revenue

For each Glo Dollar in circulation, there's at least $1 of cash and/or US Treasuries.

The US Treasuries earn interest, which becomes revenue. This is how most stablecoin companies make money.

3. We use our portion of the revenue to fund basic incomes

The revenue is split between us (the Glo Foundation) and our issuance partner.

The Glo Foundation will donate every dollar to GiveDirectly, an NGO that distributes basic incomes to people in extreme poverty.

The more money we earn → the more we donate → the fewer people live in extreme poverty.

We start earning revenue after reaching $2M in market cap. Before that milestone, 100% of revenue goes to our issuance partner, and Glo Dollar does not yet generate basic income.

4. You’re fighting extreme poverty without donating a penny

This is the magic of Glo Dollar. Simply by holding a stablecoin, you’ll set us up to help fund basic income programs that fight extreme poverty everyday. 

See Vision and roadmap for more on how we plan to grow Glo Dollar’s market cap, and how much impact we expect to have at different market caps.
