# The Problem

People around the world struggle with high inflation and often lack access to a secure, censorship-resistant store of value; one that’s easy to acquire, easy to transfer, and helps them save and grow wealth. Most commodities and conventional stores of value don’t generate real earnings. That’s why a truly advanced form of money is needed; one that both stores and appreciates in value, with a limited supply, immutable parameters, and robust decentralized liquidity, giving people the confidence to buy and sell at any time.
