Promised examination
This dossier examines the documented purpose and mechanisms of Gemini dollar (GUSD) on the Ethereum network. The goal is to explain the stated aims and technical context provided by the source summaries, without implying that an independent audit or live-network verification has occurred.
Established facts
The pinned Trust Wallet Ethereum integration record identifies Gemini dollar with the symbol GUSD and contract address 0x056fd409e1d7a124bd7017459dfea2f387b6d5cd. The record labels the entry as ERC20 and active. The community-maintained description states it is a 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin built by a regulated cryptocurrency exchange. These are attributed registry claims, not independently established issuer statements. The general ERC-20 specification defines a standard interface for fungible tokens, including totalSupply, balanceOf, transfers, and allowances. An allowance permits a named spender to use funds, with repeated approvals overwriting previous amounts. This specification describes what a conforming implementation should do, but does not confirm this specific contract implements it. The wallet blockchain-information file names the network Ethereum and lists its project website and explorer. This identifies the documented integration network without reproducing its operation. The Trust Wallet Assets README describes a community-maintained registry where anyone can submit assets, and inclusion does not imply a direct partnership with listed projects.
Unknowns
Present independent control, beneficial ownership, usage, client adoption, supply, concentration, liquidity, and complete incident history remain unverified. No deployed implementation, rights, ownership, safety, supply, use, or investment outcome was checked. The active status is a metadata label with no live-network validation. No token transaction was performed in this review.
Consequences
Documentary mechanisms alone cannot establish actual network behavior or investment outcomes. The general ERC-20 specification is separate from this token implementation. Treat the generic application family as a documentary contract subject; its economic niche and scoring criteria remain unclassified and unknown. Operational strength remains unproven.
Verdict
Operational strength remains unproven; unrated with 0% scoring coverage. No public admission of operational status exists. The dossier provides a useful documentary explanation based on supplied summaries only.
Evidence that would change it
Reproduced identity checks, independent dated network observations, and criterion-specific evidence, followed by calibration and editorial review, would be required to move beyond this documentary assessment.

Trust Wallet: captured Ethereum record for Gemini dollar
The pinned Trust Wallet Ethereum integration record names Gemini dollar with symbol GUSD, contract 0x056fd409e1d7a124bd7017459dfea2f387b6d5cd and 2 decimal places. Decimal places concern amount representation and do not measure supply or value. The record labels the entry ERC20 and active. Its community-maintained description states: "The 1:1 USD-backed stablecoin built by a secure, trusted, and regulated cryptocurrency exchange." Every project, economic, partnership, performance, supply, date and adoption statement within this quoted description is an attributed registry claim, not an independently established issuer statement or operational observation. This dossier may explain those stated aims with that attribution. No deployed implementation, rights, ownership, safety, supply, use or investment outcome was checked. The general ERC-20 specification is separate from this token implementation. Treat the generic application family as a documentary contract subject; its economic niche and scoring criteria remain unclassified and unknown.
Inspect the primary source ↗Trust Wallet Assets: blockchains/ethereum/info/info.json (bbe582d25a22)
The pinned wallet blockchain-information file names the network Ethereum, symbol ETH, and lists its project website and explorer. That named network context accompanies token records in the repository's Ethereum subtree. This identifies the documented integration network without reproducing its operation. This source is the wallet project's own integration registry, maintained with community submissions. Its project descriptions are documentary claims from that registry, not independently verified issuer statements or operational observations. The active status is a metadata label, with no live-network validation. No deployment bytecode, controller, supply, reserve, use, concentration, liquidity, security audit, incident completeness or investment return has been established.
Inspect the primary source ↗Trust Wallet Assets: README.md (bbe582d25a22)
The Trust Wallet Assets README describes a community-maintained registry of token information and logos across blockchains, used by the wallet and other projects. It says additional token information is optional and unavailable on-chain. Anyone can submit assets, and inclusion does not imply a direct partnership with the listed projects. It also explicitly excludes brand-new tokens from submissions, so this source cannot provide an exhaustive inventory of recent launches. The README states that its scripts and documentation use the MIT license. This source is the wallet project's own integration registry, maintained with community submissions. Its project descriptions are documentary claims from that registry, not independently verified issuer statements or operational observations. The active status is a metadata label, with no live-network validation. No deployment bytecode, controller, supply, reserve, use, concentration, liquidity, security audit, incident completeness or investment return has been established.
Inspect the primary source ↗Ethereum ERC-20: pinned token interface specification
The pinned ERC-20 specification describes a standard interface for fungible tokens in smart contracts. It defines totalSupply and balanceOf reads, transfers, third-party transfers after authorization, approval and remaining allowance. An allowance is the amount a named spender may use; a repeated approval overwrites that amount. The specification says callers must handle a false transfer result and describes Transfer and Approval events. Name, symbol and decimal-place metadata are optional in the standard. These interface requirements describe what a conforming implementation should do. A wallet ERC20 label establishes no independently checked compliance, actual deployed implementation, controller permissions, token use, supply or security. No token transaction was performed in this review. Copyright and related rights are waived under CC0.
