Flat Money wallet

What is Flat Money (UNIT)?

What UNIT sets out to be is money that does not ride the crypto market up and down with everything else. It is a flatcoin: not backed by dollars in a bank, not pegged to a currency, but issued against crypto collateral inside the Flat Money protocol on Base, with a target designed to hold purchasing power rather than a fixed exchange rate.

The practical consequence for a holder is the opposite of what people expect from a stable asset. The number of UNIT at an address does not move on its own; there is no rebase adjusting the count, no claim to make, no position to maintain. What shifts is what a single UNIT is meant to represent. So a balance that looks identical month after month is behaving exactly as designed, and comparing it against a dollar figure each week is the wrong instrument for reading it.

Minting and redeeming happen in the protocol, against collateral, not in a wallet. A wallet holds the resulting ERC-20, and since UNIT lives on Base, every transfer of it is paid for in ETH on Base. Small fees, but the ETH has to be there.

None of that requires a person to be present. A Tangem card can sit in a drawer for as long as you like, and when the app is opened it reads the address straight from the network and shows what is actually there, because nothing about UNIT depends on the holder doing periodic maintenance. Months can pass between the moments you need to touch it, and nothing quietly decays while they do.
