Sögur's partners who service SGR set their own fees.

Transacting directly with Sögur's smart contract is open only to registered users and involves a price band. The size of the price band changes with the strength of the Sögur economy and is set to 0.15% as long as Sögur's market cap is lower than $1B. Proceeds from this price band are used to cover reserve holding costs. Any surplus is deposited into the reserve. In addition, any transaction on the ethereum network necessitates the paying of transaction fees, known as ‘gas'. These fees are determined by the status of the Ethereum network and the speed in which you want the transaction to be approved by miners.

Important note: SGA token has lost most of its functionality. If you hold SGA token you should swap them to SGR tokens before sending them to any exchange or other service providers as all of them support only the SGR token. Sending SGA token to anyone other than the swapping address may result in loss of funds.

All SGA holders are invited to exchange their SGA balance to SGR. The exchange is possible once the SGR token goes live - September 9 at 09:00 AM GMT. The Exchange ratio is 1:1, i.e. every SGA token can be replaced with 1 SGR token.

On Exchanges

If you hold your token on an exchange you don't need to do anything. Your SGA balance will be replaced automatically by the exchange to SGR.

Personal Wallets

If you hold your SGA token in an address you control (i.e. you have the private key associated with this address) you can exchange your SGA tokens to SGR in two ways:

• Send your SGA tokens to our swapping address - 0xb08883269620C8Ff6F771e66CA376eDb977e406a (or use ENS: swapSGA.SGR.eth). We will return to the sending address the same amount of SGR tokens within 24 hours.
• Use a dedicated exchange smart contract - SGAToSGRTokenExchange (address 0xc68c66c8bc7de6e4a528fe79305e1ddc9822dc9d).
  This option is relevant for more advanced users and it allows the tokens to be swapped immediately. In order to make the exchange you should call two transactions:
  • Approve the exchange smart contract to spend SGA tokens on your behalf. This is done by calling SGAToken.approve(SGAToSGRTokenExchange.address, -1)
  • Execute the exchange by calling. SGAToSGRTokenExchange.exchangeSGAtoSGR() this call will withdraw your SGA balance from your wallet and replace it with the same amount of SGR tokens.

Once your transaction is processed, the SGR is sent instantly. The time it takes for a transaction to be processed varies depending on the load of the Ethereum blockchain and how much one is willing to pay to include their transaction. Disclaimer: sometimes there are delays on the blockchain, we kindly ask for your patience while the transaction is confirmed.

The price is based on a deterministic formula tied solely to the number of SGR already circulating. The price increases as more SGRs enter the circulation through ETH-staked minting. SGR sold back to the reserve are burnt/destroyed and thus reduce circulation and decrease price.

Yes, SGR (formerly SGA) is ERC20 compatible with any ethereum address (although not all wallets support transacting ERC20 tokens).

Currently, the Sögur's intermediary board of directors ("Intermediary Board") has the authority to update the smart contract. The Intermediary Board has committed to using this authority only under extreme circumstances. Changes are limited to cases where they are necessary in order to promote the balance between stability and sustainable long term growth. In addition, amendments to the Smart Contract shall be limited and shall take into account the need for predictability. In any case, changes to the smart contract will not be made retroactively.

In future, as the governance framework evolves, the authority to make changes will be given to Sögur's Monetary Committee – responsible for ensuring the long term sustainability and soundness of SGR as currency. In addition, any changes will be subject to the Assembly's veto power and must be presented in advance. This is planned to take place not later than December 2021, though it requires a minimum market cap of 100M SDR to transpire.

You should consult with your tax advisor with regard to any tax implications of your activity involving the Sögur currency.

Sögur does not hold an insurance policy for the reserve. The reserve funds are held in regulated banks and financial institutions and are covered under such institutions' assurances. Sögur's Monetary Model was constructed so that you will always be able to send your SGR back to the smart contract, receiving its price at the time of transaction, based on a pre-modelled price calculation (an integral part of the Sögur Monetary Model).

Sögur is UK company limited by guarantee based on non-for-profit principles implemented by tailored bylaws.

We find this structure well-suited for Sögur's needs as it allows for the entrenchment of our non-for-profit principles, and the limitation of founders' powers.

We are a UK company, limited by guarantee, which is based on non-for-profit principles implemented by tailored bylaws. We find this structure well-suited for Sögur's needs as it allows for a practically ownership-less operation.

With entrenched legal terms preventing changes to the non-for-profit principles or distributing dividends, Sögur operates only to promote its purpose - creating worldwide money in a way that reflects its holders' general interests and will.

As we developed Sögur, while examining the nature of contracts, it became clear that currency is only one instance of a contract for the exchange of interpersonal value.

In order to properly inform this enterprise and to craft a truly workable monetary policy, a broader mindset was required. To that end, Sögur launched its Research Institute, an interdisciplinary effort to redefine updated and practical frameworks for the social exchange of value. The Institute deals with the increasing gap between current governance schemes and advances in technology as well as the widening scope of communication.

Sögur is audited in accordance with statutory requirements. The process is performed by its auditors when filing Sögur's annual financial statements.

The process of designing and developing Sögur required funding. As a project that embraces integrity and low volatility, we approached only accredited/qualified investors and major venture capital firms as early contributors to the Sögur project. This also allowed Sögur to benefit from a wide range of knowledge and support.

We have chosen to establish in the UK, where regulators and financial ecosystem stakeholders are credible and consumer protective, while also supportive of innovation.

We are a UK company, limited by guarantee, which is based on non-for-profit principles implemented by tailored bylaws. It does not have shares for early backers to purchase, as we did not want to let them gain control over the project.

Accordingly, Sögur stakeholders (contributors, founding team, employees, advisors, etc.) can only benefit financially if Sögur is a viable and growing economy. More details are provided in our whitepaper, including the mechanisms to reward our investors for their initial investment.

Sögur is not a bank, but it does store the reserve in traditional banks.

• Sögur is not a financial establishment and does not act as a middleman. Rather, Sögur is a currency protocol that uses a smart contract. Sögur does not hold users' money; funds that were used to purchase SGR from the smart contract are stored in the reserve, and deployed according to a pre-set algorithm for users' best interests. Any interest earned on the reserve funds are added to the reserve.
• Sögur does not make payouts. The ERC 20 wallet permits a user to send their SGR to the Smart Contract which is designed to return an equivalent value of ETH to the user.
• Sögur does not enable loans.
• Sögur does not take deposits.
• Although Sögur does exchange currency for its reserve, it does not offer currency exchange as a service.
