Each CENT token is issued against a physical penny held in auditable reserve. Following the cessation of U.S. penny production, our reserves constitute a finite stock of legal tender you can verify.
Available on Raydium DEX. Swap SOL or USDC for CENT.
Most stablecoin issuers publish quarterly attestations from accounting firms. We maintain a vault you can visit. You can literally touch the reserves. The distinction matters.
Our holdings are not distributed across banking partners, money market funds, or commercial paper. They exist as physical U.S. currency in a single secure location—observable via 24/7 video feed, and verifiable in person by appointment.
Following the U.S. Mint's decision to end penny production, no additional supply will enter circulation. Unlike Bitcoin, which continues mining until 2140, penny issuance has permanently ceased. The total addressable reserve is fixed.
How CENT's backing compares to other digital assets.
| Characteristic | USDT | USDC | Bitcoin | CENT |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physical backing | Partial | Partial | None | 100% physical |
| Live reserve visibility | None | None | N/A | 24/7 video feed |
| New supply being created | Unlimited | Unlimited | Until 2140 | Ended |
| Counterparty risk | Banks, funds | Banks, funds | None | None |
| Government legal tender | No | No | No | Yes |
| In-person verification | No | No | No | Yes |
All pennies are held in a climate-controlled facility with 24/7 video surveillance. No fractional reserves, no rehypothecation, no synthetic exposure.
CENT tokens are minted on Solana with each issuance corresponding to verified physical deposits. All transactions are recorded immutably on the public blockchain.
Rather than periodic attestations, we provide real-time visibility into reserve holdings. Count the pennies yourself via our live monitoring feed.
Look, we know what you're thinking. Well, technically this is NOT a stablecoin...
But here's the thing: most "backed" assets aren't actually backed by anything you can see or touch. They're backed by trust in institutions, attestations from auditors, and PDFs that no one reads.
We wanted to try something different. What happens when you make the backing so literal, so visible, so absurdly tangible that anyone can verify it with their own eyes? What happens when you can visit the vault and pick up a coin?
We don't know exactly. But we thought it would be fun to find out.
Properties that distinguish penny-backed reserves.
Bitcoin's supply cap is enforced by code. Penny supply is constrained by physical reality—the U.S. Mint has ceased production entirely. No fork, no governance vote, no protocol change can create more pennies.
Pre-1982 pennies contain 95% copper. At current commodity prices, the metal content exceeds face value, providing a floor on reserve valuation independent of monetary policy.
Each penny carries the full faith and credit of the United States government. Unlike corporate-issued stablecoins, the underlying asset is official legal tender.
At $0.01 per 2.5 grams, pennies present one of the lowest value-to-weight ratios of any store of value. Physical extraction offers minimal economic incentive. We maintain security protocols nonetheless.
Buy some pennies. Or just watch them on the livestream. We're not here to tell you what to do.
