FAQ's

Anyone with an email address can use FLAT tokens by signing up on flat. Merchants, consumers, and investors globally are targeted, especially those seeking inflation protection, privacy, or fee-free transactions. People can pay anyone around world 24X7 without any transaction costs and with full privacy. Only the sender and receiver is aware of the transfer, when flat site is used.

FLAT tokens are created when users bond other ERC-20 tokens (e.g., ETH, USDT) into SPOT, which backs FLAT 1:1. The protocol issues FLAT only when SPOT is received, ensuring demand-driven supply growth. The process requires a non-custodial wallet and ETH for gas. A user who does not have a non-custodial wallet, can only provide goods and services to a user who holds these FLAT coins in order to earn FLAT coins.

FLAT protects against volatility by being pegged to SPOT, which adjusts to inflation via CPI, maintaining purchasing power. FLAT token is forever pegged to 2019 inflation-adjusted US dollar. Unlike volatile assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum, FLAT’s value is stabilized, not free-floating.

FLAT’s security stems from its Ethereum blockchain foundation, unfreezable nature, and decentralized governance via the WeThePeople DAO. The platform cannot censor or seize coins, and relies on open-source, audited contracts.

The total supply of FLAT tokens is fixed to 21 Trillion coins. These authorized to be released, but not issued. New FLAT coins come into existence only when users demand them and pay them via BTC, ETC or USDT to the protocol. The treasury provides these tokens to the user, only when it receives equivalent value from other volatile tokens like BTC, ETC or USDT.

FLAT can be used globally for payments (via $flatid), remittances, merchant transactions, investments (e.g., AFLAT), and hiring AI agents.

This is convertible to physical flat in all of the countries in the world.
