Stable Value for Zimbabwe’s Digital Economy
ZiGX is being developed as a USDC-pegged, reserve-backed digital settlement instrument for future value transfer within the ZimX ecosystem. If launched, every ZiGX in circulation is designed to be backed at least one-to-one by eligible reserve assets, with USDC intended as the initial and primary reserve asset.
Key Facts
Built on four commitments.
Reserve-Backed
Once launched, ZiGX is designed to be backed at least one-to-one by eligible reserve assets, with USDC intended as the initial and primary reserve asset. The planned over-collateralisation policy target is 102-105%, with no fractional or algorithmic backing.
USD Parity
Designed for stable value referenced to the US Dollar. A settlement instrument, not a speculative asset.
Institutional Custody
Reserves designed to be held with third-party institutional custodians, fully segregated from operating funds. No custody arrangement is in place. Without custody, there is no ZiGX.
Multi-Signature Governance
Once reserves are established, reserve operations will require multi-signature approval so that no single person will be able to move reserves unilaterally.
How It Will Work
From deposit to settlement.
Reserves Will Be Deposited
Once custody arrangements are finalised and ZiGX launches, value will be deposited into institutional custody and compliance verification will be completed.
ZiGX Will Be Minted
ZiGX will be minted only against verified reserves at a minimum one-to-one ratio. Multi-signature approval will be required and a full audit trail will be generated.
Settlement
ZiGX is designed to enable on-chain settlement in seconds on Base (Ethereum L2), with minimal transaction costs, once launched.
Transparent & Auditable
Once launched, ZimX Vault is intended to display reserve positions on a continuously updated basis, with custody wallet addresses published for independent verification.
