A blockchain-based token designed to protect users’ purchasing power by backing its value with a diversified basket of real-world assets.
ValueGuard Token (VGT) is an ERC-20 compatible asset designed to maintain stable purchasing power over time by tracking the real-world value of a diversified portfolio of inflation-resistant assets such as gold, silver, oil, bonds, and commodity indices.
Unlike stablecoins pegged to fiat currencies, VGT is not pegged and its value floats dynamically based on the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the underlying asset basket. Each token represents a proportional claim on the total portfolio, functioning similarly to a share in a managed investment fund.
This approach offers a decentralized, transparent, and AI-assisted solution to inflation protection.
Traditional stablecoins (e.g., USDT, USDC) are pegged to fiat currencies that themselves lose value due to inflation.
Existing inflation hedged instruments, such as ETFs or managed funds, are centralized, restricted by geography, and inaccessible to many global users.
VGT addresses this by providing:
- An onchain inflation resistant store of value
- Decentralized, AI-driven portfolio rebalancing
- Transparent asset valuation through oracles
- A seamless experience for Web3 users seeking long term purchasing power stability
- 🧮 NAV based pricing — token value determined by total portfolio value / circulating supply
- 💹 Diversified asset backing — exposure to gold, oil, silver, bonds, and commodities
- 🧠 AI-driven dynamic rebalancing using fetch.ai's uAgents and ASI:One LLM
- 🔮 Real-time market data via Pyth Network oracle
- 💰 Vault based minting mechanism using stablecoins (e.g., USDT)
- 🔐 Decentralized transparency — fully auditable smart contracts and oracle feeds
| Layer | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Smart Contract (On-chain) | Implements ERC-20 logic, tracks total supply, NAV per token, and handles minting/burning. Maintains onchain parameters for asset weighting. |
| 2. Vault Contract | Receives user deposits (stablecoins), mints new tokens, and holds liquidity reserves. A small fraction is allocated for protocol managed yield generation. |
| 3. Oracle Integration (Pyth Network) | Provides real time asset prices for gold, oil, silver, government bonds, and other commodities. |
| 4. AI Agent Layer | Built using fetch.ai's uAgent and Agentverse AI Agent Platform and powered by ASI:One (LLM). Includes: - Agent 1: Fetches live price data from Pyth Oracle. - Agent 2: Processes the data using a structured economic reasoning model to optimize asset weights. |
- A scheduled or triggered prompt is sent to ASI:One.
- Agent 1 retrieves up to date market data via the Pyth Oracle.
- Agent 2 analyzes asset correlations and inflation trends using an internal economic knowledge graph.
- The agent suggests an optimal new asset weighting strategy.
- The updated parameters are transmitted to the smart contract, recalculating NAV and rebalancing the virtual basket.
This creates a self adjusting, inflation resistant asset governed by transparent data and AI reasoning.

-
Deposit Stablecoins:
Users lock USDT (or another stablecoin) into the VGT Vault Contract. -
Mint Tokens:
Based on the current NAV per token, the contract mints the equivalent amount of VGT to the user’s wallet. -
Asset Price Update:
AI Agent 1 fetches real time data from Pyth for all tracked assets. -
AI Rebalancing:
Agent 2, powered by ASI One and SingularityNET's meTTa knowledge graphs, analyzes the data to adjust the weighting of each asset class in the virtual basket. -
NAV Recalculation:
The contract updates itsnavPerToken()value using the new weightings and asset prices. -
Token Behavior:
- Token price rises when the asset basket appreciates.
- Token price declines if the basket loses value.
- No peg; pure market reflective pricing.
-
Redemption:
Users will be able to redeem VGT tokens for stablecoins at the current NAV.
- Expand asset basket to include additional commodities and ETFs
- Integrate decentralized governance (DAO based rebalancing approvals)
- Connect VGT to Chainlink's proof of reserve
- Explore real onchain asset tokenization partnerships (RWAs)
