Buy CNS

Money that works for everyone, everywhere

No banks. No borders. No middlemen. Centric is a dual-token currency built to be spent and held as real money.

Two tokens on Solana: CNS to buy and spend, CNR to hold.

Why Centric

Digital money usually comes with one of two trade-offs. Centric takes a third path.

  1. Most crypto

    The price can swing a lot in a day, which makes it hard to use as money.

  2. Stablecoins

    Steady, because each one is tied to the US dollar and to the banks that hold those dollars.

  3. Centric

    No dollars in a bank. Two tokens with separate jobs: one you trade at a market price, and one you hold.

CNS still trades at a market price that moves. Phase One is about it settling at a widely accepted price, and about building places to use it.

Two tokens. One powerful system.

Centric uses two tokens. CNS is the one you buy, trade and spend. CNR is the one you hold, because its conversion rate back to CNS rises every hour.

What we’re building, and why now

Money that works for everyone, everywhere takes time to build. Here’s where Centric came from, what changed on Solana, and where it’s heading.

Building since 2017

  1. Dec 2017Centric conceived
  2. Oct 2019The Centric Foundation established, a non-profit
  3. Feb 2020The two-token system launched
  4. Mar 2026Rebuilt on Solana
  5. TodayPhase One: protocol consensus. The three phases

“The version running on Solana today is the leanest and clearest it has ever been.”

Centric on X, 20 Aug 2026

Three phases to global adoption

  1. Phase One

    Protocol consensus

    Where Centric is today. The aim of this phase is for CNS to settle at a widely accepted market price with deep liquidity. That price is set by buyers and sellers, and nothing guarantees it.

  2. Phase Two

    Setting CNR's rate

    If CNS reaches a stable market price, the Foundation plans to set CNR's monthly rate using inflation data and network activity. The rate stays a protocol setting that the Foundation can change, not a promised return.

  3. Phase Three

    Real-World Adoption

    The aim of this phase: businesses accept CNS as a payment option and people spend it directly, with the reach of Visa and Mastercard and the freedom of decentralization.

You don’t have to take our word for it. Everything here is recorded on the Solana blockchain or shown on sites Centric doesn’t run.

The rules, on chain

  • No one can change the program’s code. The Centric program has no upgrade authority. Check on Solscan
  • Only the program can create CNS. The CNS mint authority is the program’s own account, not a person’s wallet. Check on Solscan
  • No more CNR can ever be created. CNR’s mint authority is switched off. Check on Solscan
  • No one can freeze your tokens. Neither token has a freeze authority.
  • The burn never touches your wallet. The hourly burn only removes CNR held in the program’s quarantine.

Questions people ask

Short answers to what people check before they buy. All FAQs

Has Centric been audited?

Yes. Centric’s Solana contracts were audited by CertiK before they were deployed. The report is public on CertiK’s Centric listing.

Can the Centric contract be changed?

The Centric program on Solana has no upgrade authority. Its code can’t be replaced or changed, by Centric or anyone else. You can check this on Solscan.

CNR’s mint authority is revoked, so no more CNR can ever be created. Neither token has a freeze authority, so no one can freeze the CNR or CNS in your wallet.

What the Centric Foundation does control is the monthly conversion rate the program uses. The current schedule is on the Metrics page.

Why do token scanners say “mint authority enabled”?

The CNS supply moves with conversions. When someone converts CNR to CNS, the Centric program creates new CNS. When someone converts CNS to CNR, that CNS is destroyed.

That’s why CNS has a mint authority. It isn’t a person or a Foundation wallet: it’s an address that belongs to the Centric program and has no private key, so only the program’s own instructions can use it. The program has no upgrade authority, so its code can’t be replaced.

Why do token scanners flag “high holder concentration”?

Two accounts hold close to half of all CNS. The largest, about a quarter, is the Raydium pool where CNS trades against SOL. It holds the CNS side of the pool, not one person’s savings.

The second, about a fifth, is a wallet belonging to AscendEX, an exchange that stopped trading on 1 July 2026. Centric doesn’t control that wallet. You can see every holder on Solscan.

Is Centric a stablecoin?

No, Centric is not a stablecoin. Stablecoins like USDT (Tether) and USDC are designed to maintain a fixed $1 value through fiat currency reserves. Centric has no reserves and no peg: CNS trades at a market price set by buyers and sellers, which can move sharply, and CNR has a conversion rate against CNS that the protocol raises every hour. Neither token is designed to hold a fixed dollar value, and Centric does not promise protection against inflation.

How is Centric different from Terra/Luna (UST)?

Centric differs from Terra/Luna in several fundamental ways. Terra used a single algorithmic mechanism where UST was minted by burning LUNA and vice versa, creating a reflexive death spiral when confidence was lost in May 2022. Centric splits the two roles between two tokens: CNS trades on the market, and CNR has a conversion rate set by the protocol. CNR’s conversion rate is recorded in on-chain Price Blocks that cannot be altered once created, rather than set by market arbitrage, and CNS’s supply adjusts elastically with no peg to defend. Neither token is designed to hold a fixed dollar value.

What happens when I convert CNS to CNR and back?

Because CNR’s conversion rate against CNS rises every hour, converting CNS to CNR and later converting back returns more CNS than you started with. The extra CNS is created by the protocol at the moment you convert back. No staking or lockup is involved, and you can convert at any time in the Centric Wallet or at swap.centric.com. The rate is a protocol setting that the Centric Foundation can change; the current schedule is on the Metrics page. What your CNS is worth in dollars depends on its market price, which can fall by more than the rate adds.

Where can I buy Centric Swap (CNS)?

Centric Swap (CNS) can be purchased on cryptocurrency exchanges that list the token. As of October 2026, CNS trades on Raydium (CNS/SOL), a decentralized exchange on Solana. Since August 12, 2026, it has also traded on Ourbit (CNS/USDT), a centralized exchange. The Centric Foundation is actively working to secure listings on additional major cryptocurrency exchanges. Once purchased, CNS can be withdrawn to any Solana-compatible wallet and optionally converted to CNR through swap.centric.com or the Centric Wallet.

What is the Centric Foundation?

The Centric Foundation is a non-profit organization established in October 2019 that is responsible for the long-term success and development of the Centric protocol. The Foundation’s stated vision is to create a decentralized global currency that is accessible to everyone. The Foundation manages protocol governance, partnership development, exchange listings, and ecosystem growth initiatives.

How do I spot a scam?

Centric admins never message you first. Centric doesn’t give support by private message or phone. No one from Centric will ever ask for your seed phrase, private key or password, and no one will ask you to pay a fee to unlock, recover or migrate tokens. If someone does any of these, they aren’t from Centric.

The official channels are X (@CentricRise), the Telegram channel @CentricOfficial and the chat t.me/centricchat.

Risk. CNS and CNR are crypto-assets, and you could lose all the money you put in. CNR's conversion rate is a protocol setting, measured in CNS rather than dollars, and the Centric Foundation can change it. What CNS is worth in dollars depends on its market price, which can fall sharply. No one guarantees any value or return, and nothing on this site is financial advice.
