INTRODUCTION

From centuries ago, humans had a monetary trust value which is Gold. This set a standard as a value that the former and existing value reciprocal and currency had to meet up with. It was accepted publicly as the most preferred storage for value that is why even till date, individuals buy hold in form of jeweleries, allow it appreciate and sell it at a higher price. Undoubtedly, Gold remains a standard for value. With time, trade by Barter, coins, then paper money came into existence. All financial establishment can only function effectively with a unanimous trust value model. For you to accept a thing as a means of payment, it must be trusted to be truly worth it.

Paper money also known as Fiat money/currency is not supported by Gold because President Richard of the United States abolished Gold Standard in 1971. This implies that the mechanism whereby various currencies were attached to Gold's value is not valid. Fiat currency was infact birthed by this act. Hence, the value backing Fiat currency is a Government Order; Fiat is a legal means of tender. Through this, the Government became highly influential over Fiat (money) likewise the financial sector. Centralized Finance started from this occurence. The power to make decisions, enforce charge, distribute money, cause inflation was given to a set of people 'The Government'.

Also, this wallet has a single mode of access into different DeFi applications and cryptocurrency supported financial services without relying on so many applications to function effectively. The Voyager decentralized exchange platform can be used by Columbus users in addition to other Decentralized Finance services.
