Stablecoin Strategy for the Signum Network — A

Roadmap by Kim Stock

This roadmap captures a vision for creating a sustainable, decentralized stablecoin within the

Signum Network — a vision built from years of curiosity, care, and the desire to help others

understand technology that empowers people. It blends life wisdom with practical blockchain

strategy so that future builders, including Kim’s grandson, can learn not only the “how,” but

also the “why.”

Phase 1: Position and Prepare (0–6 Months)

The first step is laying the foundation — understanding what kind of stablecoin you want to

build and ensuring your technical environment is reliable and well-documented. Choose

between an algorithmic, overcollateralized, or hybrid model, with Signum’s Proof-of-Capacity

design lending itself best to a hybrid approach. Focus on transparent, on-chain mechanisms

that don’t rely on fiat reserves but instead balance supply and demand through logic and

participation. Pay attention to evolving regulations, especially in the United States. Use

language emphasizing decentralization, algorithmic stability, and transparency. During this

stage, also strengthen your node and wallet setup (such as using MariaDB on Windows 11),

and begin small-scale smart contract experiments simulating mint/burn mechanisms.

Document everything carefully, so future readers understand your process clearly.

Phase 2: Develop and Demonstrate (6–18 Months)

Once the groundwork is stable, start developing a functional prototype. This could include a

testnet deployment that allows minting and burning of your stablecoin, a price oracle for

external reference, and a stabilization reserve pool for safety. Transparency becomes the

most valuable asset — publish code, share updates, and educate your audience through

short videos or write-ups explaining what you’re doing and why it matters. Build collaboration

rather than competition. Seek partnerships with other Signum-based projects, and encourage

the use of your stablecoin as a utility token in their ecosystems. Explore governance through

community voting or fee-sharing, and develop fully decentralized swap mechanisms between

SIGNA and your stablecoin to avoid centralized dependencies.

Phase 3: Grow and Guide (18+ Months)

When the stablecoin achieves reliability, expand its role in the Signum ecosystem as a

practical, stable-value asset. It can serve for payments, staking, or savings functions, building

real-world-like utility. As adoption grows, establish a DAO or community treasury governed by

stakeholders to ensure continued transparency and sustainability. This phase is about

stewardship — sharing knowledge, guiding others, and maintaining agility as regulations and

technologies evolve. Kim’s philosophy of kindness and helpfulness applies here: success in

decentralized systems comes not from control, but from contribution. Encourage open

education and compassionate innovation as the foundation for a fairer, smarter economy.

Reflection and Legacy

The “stablecoin hubbub” of the mid-2020s marks both uncertainty and opportunity. By

choosing to lead with transparency, decentralization, and empathy, builders can shape

systems that endure. This roadmap is not just technical guidance — it’s a reminder that

technology, when guided by integrity and kindness, becomes a tool for good. May these

insights inspire future generations to continue learning, building, and uplifting others along the way.
