About the Project —

Glo Dollar is a fiat-backed stablecoin designed to fund public goods and charitable causes effortlessly. By simply holding Glo Dollars (USDGLO), users contribute to initiatives like poverty alleviation, decarbonization, and Web3 open-source projects without spending extra money. This innovative approach, called AutoPGF (Automatic Public Goods Funding), enables holders to choose which causes to support, creating impact at no additional cost to them.

The Glo Foundation, a Public Benefit Corporation, develops and oversees the Glo Dollar. Revenue is generated from interest on reserves managed by Brale Inc., the stablecoin issuer, which invests in cash and US Treasuries. After covering initial earnings, all profits are donated to charitable causes selected by users. This seamless process ensures that every Glo Dollar contributes to meaningful change, combining financial stability with donation-free philanthropy.
