In their own words
“The vision behind Saga is to design a global currency that is complementary to existing national currencies, one that would reduce friction of borderless transactions.”
Key points from the latest interview
- Saga is designed as a global currency complementary to national fiat currencies, addressing the needs of an increasingly borderless economy.
- Unlike Bitcoin, Saga aims to function as money through reduced volatility, AML/KYC compliance, and adaptive governance rather than pure decentralization.
- Saga uses the SDR basket of currencies as its reserve backing, gradually decreasing reliance as the currency becomes independent.
- The coin supply is fully elastic and self-regulating through smart contracts, with creation and burning determined entirely by market demand.
- Saga distinguishes itself from Libra by using an established IMF instrument rather than a proprietary basket and maintaining non-stablecoin status.
