Global Reserve Unit (GRU)
The GRU is the flagship digital-native reserve layer — a basket-anchored unit with transparent issuance rules and settlement-grade infrastructure. It is designed to complement national currencies and IMF-style instruments, not replace central bank money where law reserves that role exclusively.
Institutional functions
- Multi-currency anchor for participating institutions and corridor liquidity
- Reserve settlement token with published issuance and redemption boundaries
- Bridge between public transparency surfaces and member-only operational consoles
On-chain implementation
The GRU reserve program is backed by deployed settlement infrastructure on Chain 138:
- cUSDT (0x93E6…7f22) — compliant wrapped USDT for institutional settlement
- cUSDC (0xf222…640b) — compliant wrapped USDC for institutional settlement
- cXAUC / cXAUT — gold-backed tokens (1 token = 1 troy oz Au) anchoring the reserve's commodity layer
- PMM pools — DODO Proactive Market Maker pools providing on-chain liquidity for mint/redeem and cross-pair settlement
Full contract table and verified addresses are documented on the GRU technical model page and the Infrastructure page.
Governance & publication
Basket composition, rebalancing cadence, and emergency measures are decided under Council procedures described in Governance. Machine-readable policy summaries are published at /policy.json.
