GAUGECASH Unlocks Novel Stable Asset Price Data Through Chainlink Price Feeds

Last year, we announced that GAUGECASH was upgrading its oracle mechanism to Chainlink. Today, we’re excited to announce that the GAU/USD Chainlink Price Feed is now available on Polygon mainnet alongside the GAUGECASH launch. By leveraging the industry-leading decentralized oracle network, our users can have high assurances that GAU price data is accurate, reliable, and secure.

GAUGECASH is a novel DeFi system pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the blockchain space. We created a new kind of token that references a basket of real-world FX data to generate a price feed protocol that protects against hyperinflation.

Put simply, we have built a stable asset built upon a basket of widely adopted currencies, enabling users to price goods and services worldwide through a decentralized stable asset. Users can check the historic average volatility against major fiat currencies and see that it is the less volatile currency no matter what.

Chainlink has unlocked a wide design space for GAUGECASH. Because GAUGECASH uses a unique indexing mechanism based on Forex data, Chainlink Price Feeds was the best option to help ensure that GAU price data used by external parties or users is reliable and tamper-proof. Additionally, because Chainlink Price Feeds are a widely adopted standard in the blockchain ecosystem, the GAU/USD Price Feed stands to benefit from increased adoption given the ease of implementation.

For more details about why Chainlink Price Feeds help unlock GAUGECASH adoption across Web3, check out last year’s announcement.

As a blockchain-agnostic decentralized oracle network, Chainlink also made it easy for us to seamlessly transition our oracle-reliant functionality, such as implementing Chainlink Keepers to Polygon — which offers advantages in speed, cost, and more.

“Chainlink continues to provide GAUGECASH with the reliable and secure oracle functions it needs to become a prominent stable asset in Web3.” — Manuel Blanco, Founder of GAUGECASH.
