FAQ
What you Need to Know
What is a Digital Wallet?
A wallet is where you hold stablecoins and approve transactions. It’s like a bank account you fully control.
What is a Wallet Address?
A public address you share to receive funds — like an email address for money.
What is a Stablecoin?
Digital money designed to match a real currency 1:1 (e.g., 1 USDC = $1 USD). Used for fast digital payments.
What is a Blockchain Network?
The system that processes transactions. Different networks have different speeds and fees.
What are Gas Fees?
A small network fee paid to process your transaction like a postal fee. Costs vary by network and how busy it is.
What is a Blockchain Explorer?
A public site where you can view transaction status and proof using a transaction hash.
What Does Transaction Hash (TxHash) Mean?
A unique, permanent ID for your blockchain transaction like a tracking number you can verify publicly on an explorer.
What is a Transaction ID?
Your internal receipt/reference number in our system (useful for support). Not the same as a TxHash.
What Does On-Ramp Mean?
Converting bank money into stablecoins so you can send digital payments.
What Does Off-Ramp Mean?
Converting stablecoins back into traditional money and sending it to a bank account.
What is KYC (Identity Verification)?
A one-time identity check required by law to prevent fraud and money laundering.
What Does Confirmation & Settlement (Finality) Mean?
Once a payment is confirmed on the blockchain, it cannot be undone — there are no chargebacks like with credit cards. Always verify the recipient address and amount before sending.
What is CAGD?
CAGD (CAD Global Dollar) is Kavodax’s Canadian dollar-backed stablecoin. For every CAGD issued, one real Canadian dollar is held in a custodian bank — so 1 CAGD always equals 1 CAD.
What can I use CAGD for?
CAGD is built for fast, transparent cross-border payments — letting businesses move CAD-equivalent value globally in minutes instead of days, with built-in AML compliance.
Is CAGD backed by real money?
Yes. CAGD is fully backed 1:1 by Canadian dollars held in a custodian bank, giving it the same value stability as cash.
How is CAGD different from other stablecoins?
Most stablecoins are pegged to the US dollar. CAGD is Canada’s own stablecoin, pegged 1:1 to the Canadian dollar, purpose-built for Canadian businesses moving money internationally.
