AUDD is short for Australian Digital Dollar. 

AUDD is Novatti’s Australian Dollar (A$) backed stablecoin intended for facilitating payments, transactions and remittances between businesses and their customers. AUDD is collateralised on a 1:1 basis by Australia’s sovereign currency. For every AUDD that it mints, AUDC PTY LTD will hold 1 A$ in reserve.

Stablecoins offer the benefits of price stability and immunity to traditional bank interventions such as debanking or arbitrary refusal to transact, along with the convenience, privacy, and security of cryptocurrency. Ainslie Crypto is leveraging Stablecoins to provide its customers with a stable option that combines the best features of traditional and digital currencies. By using Stablecoins, Ainslie Crypto ensures that its users can experience price stability along with the advantages of cryptocurrencies—such as enhanced privacy and robust security—without the concern of market volatility.
