Stablecoin Peg Watch Screensaver
The Stablecoin Peg Watch screensaver gauges how far major stablecoins currently trade from their real $1.00 peg, drawn key-less and live from CoinGecko's price API. It's free, runs in your browser, and ESC exits.
How the Stablecoin Peg Watch screensaver works
The saver fetches real live prices for major stablecoins from CoinGecko, with no key required.
Each coin's real deviation from exactly $1.00 is shown on a gauge, in either direction.
Coins holding their peg tightly stay near center; any real drift shows immediately.
Readings refresh on a schedule to track real market pricing.
A worked example
Under normal conditions every gauge sits close to zero — real, tight peg-holding. A genuine depeg event would show a gauge swing sharply, visible the moment it happens.
Settings & tips
- Accent recolours the gauges.
- Tiny real fluctuations of a few tenths of a cent are normal market noise.
- A sustained large deviation is a genuinely notable real event worth investigating.
