# ISC (Inflation-resistant Stable Currency)

## Overview
ISC is a Solana-native stablecoin designed as an inflation-resistant alternative to USD-pegged stablecoins. Unlike traditional stablecoins pegged to the US Dollar, ISC is collateralized by a diversified basket of financial assets: 20% cash, 20% commodities, 20% treasuries, 20% bonds, and 20% equities. Launched on 2023-03-17 at $1.545, ISC has appreciated to $1.81 as of late 2024, reflecting its design goal of maintaining purchasing power against inflation rather than maintaining a fixed dollar peg.
