Dukascoins are designed as a crypto means of payment to be created in limited quantity to serve both as payment and speculation means. Dukascoins are expected to gain in value due to limited supply. Their initial purpose is to reward new clients in a promotional plan aiming at popularizing the Dukascopy Connect 911 messenger and associated Mobile Current Accounts of Dukascopy to a very wide extent.
Unlike Dukascoins, Dukasnotes are designed to be stable in value. The convertibility of Dukasnotes into real (fiat) currencies will be at all time guaranteed by Dukascopy via a guarantee fund subject to independent audit and deposited with Dukascopy. In order to stabilize the Dukasnotes exchange rate, they will be pegged to a fiat currency.
