Gold-backed currency with built-in value accrual, owned by the community that builds it.

The Problem

Your money is melting

Since 1971, fiat currencies have lost the majority of their purchasing power. Stablecoins peg to the melting dollar. There has to be a better way.

The Core Insight

Why Time?

The Fed can print $1 trillion overnight. Governments change rules. Banks fail. But no one can print the 10,000 hours a developer spent mastering their craft, or the 20 years an investor spent building their capital.

Time is the only thing that can't be debased.

This is why Almega Time Credits (ATC) exist — a cryptographically enforced proof of time invested.

Gold holds value because you can't print it

Time holds value because you can't print it

Ownership should require time — not just money

The Solution

Money that works for you

Almega combines hard asset backing with DeFi mechanics to create currency that preserves and grows value.

Hard Backing

Gold, silver, and productive assets. Not algorithms. Not promises. Real collateral you can verify.

Value Accrual

Protocol revenue buys hard assets and burns governance tokens. Your stake grows as the system grows.

Earned Ownership

Governance can only be earned through contribution. Build it, own it. Time is the honest input.

Minimized Discretion

Key rules are hard-coded and can't be changed. The code enforces what trust never could.

Ownership

Help build it. Own it.

Time is the one thing that can't be faked. You can print money, inflate metrics, game systems — but you can't manufacture time already spent. That's why Almega is built around it.

TIME

Ownership in Almega is earned through time contributed — not capital raised, tokens bought, or access granted.

Almega Time Credit (ATC) is the only path to ALG governance. No presale. No insider allocation. No shortcuts.

The people who help bring back hard money become its owners.

Capital is recognized only because it represents time already earned.

How It Works

Four tokens, one system

Each token serves a distinct purpose in creating a self-reinforcing economic flywheel.

ATC

Almega Time Credits

Proof of time contributed. Earned by building, researching, operating, or supporting Almega — and required for governance.

ALG

Governance

Fixed 100M supply. Deflationary. Governance is earned, not bought.

ALC

Almega Currency

Reserve-backed currency. Gold + hard assets. Mint and redeem at will.

sALC

Staked ALC

Stake ALC, earn yield. Your share of protocol revenue, paid in hard assets.

The Flywheel

TVL Grows → Protocol Earns Revenue → 50% buys hard assets (sALC holders win) + 50% buys & burns ALG (supply shrinks) → ALG more valuable → More contributors (earning ATC) → More TVL → Cycle accelerates.
