The Global Currency Unit (GCU) is a concept for a basket currency that will combine multiple fiat currencies into a single, stable unit. The planned features include:

  • Backing by USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, JPY, and XAU (gold)
  • Democratic governance through stake-weighted community voting
  • Reduced volatility compared to single currencies
  • Transparent composition and valuation
  • Real bank backing with government insurance (when launched)

Note: GCU is currently available in sandbox mode. Production launch with live currency backing is planned for a future release.

When implemented, GCU voting will allow currency holders to participate in governance:

  • Monthly voting cycles to adjust currency composition
  • Voting power proportional to GCU holdings
  • Community proposals for basket changes
  • Transparent vote counting and results
  • Automatic rebalancing based on vote outcomes

Status: Voting functionality is on the roadmap for a future release.

FinAegis is built with modern, scalable technologies:

  • Backend: Laravel (PHP framework)
  • Frontend: Blade templates, Alpine.js, Tailwind CSS
  • Database: MySQL/PostgreSQL compatible
  • Queue: Laravel Queue with Redis
  • API: RESTful JSON API
  • Testing: PHPUnit and Pest
