What You Can Achieve * Financing: Unlock working capital against allocated/segregated inventory. * Fundraising: Programmatic issuance with transparent reserve attestations. * Sales Channel: 24/7 global retail/institutional distribution. * Transfer & Settlement: Fast, auditable title transfer; metal moves only on redemption. ### 2. Denomination Standard (Important) * Fixed unit: Every token = 1 troy ounce of gold. * No custom SKUs: We do not issue gram/kilo/serial-bar denominations. * Benefits of standardization: Uniform pricing, simpler accounting, cleaner integrations, and deeper shared liquidity. *(Today: PGOLD for gold. Silver/platinum families may be introduced later, each may have different SKU per token.)* ### 3. Benefits of Turning Your Gold into PGOLD * Expanded market access: Reach buyers and lenders across geographies and platforms. * Fractional investment (by token count): Offer single-ounce units suited to both retail and institutions. * Trade settlement & clearing: Transfer digital title in seconds—no metal movement required. * Cost & operational efficiency: Tamper-evident ledgers replace manual reconciliation; reduce paperwork and logistics overhead. * Composability: Use PGOLD across DeFi—lending, LP, hedging, and structured products. ### 4. Who It’s For Vaults • Refiners • Dealers • Aggregators • Treasuries • Family Offices • Brands • Market Makers ### 5. How It Works (End-to-End) {% stepper %} {% step %} Warehouse Reserves Due Diligence We review your business, inventory, and objectives. We conduct KYC/KYB, verify custody setup, certifications, insurance, and logistics, and align on program terms—so you don’t need to handle blockchain complexity. {% endstep %} {% step %} Physical Assets → Digital Tokens (PGOLD) Once approved, we mint PGOLD 1:1 against certified reserves and record the linkage to your physical asset (bar list/serials, fineness, vault). Each PGOLD = 1 troy oz. {% endstep %} {% step %} Tradable & Collateral-Ready Your tokens behave like any digital asset: transfer, list for sale, collateralize, or integrate with DeFi (trading, lending, LP, structured notes). Redemptions burn tokens and release bars per program SLA. {% endstep %} {% endstepper %} ### 6. Partner Requirements (Checklist) * Corporate registration & UBO documentation * Vault operator details, certifications (e.g., LBMA where relevant), insurance * Inventory evidence (bar lists, serials, weights, fineness, custody model) * Jurisdictional disclosures & redemption logistics * Program selections (fee model, reporting/attestation cadence, redemption locations) * Technical contact for API/reporting integration ### 7. Technical & Operational Architecture * Token standard: ERC-20 on primary chain; omnichain expansion via messaging where enabled * Lifecycle controls: Role-gated mint/burn; attestations anchor issuance/redemption * Telemetry: Supply, mints/burns, holder distribution, and reserve snapshots via dashboard & APIs * Oracles & pricing: Market data for NAV/marking (integration-dependent) * Monitoring: Status page, incident handling, reconciliation workflows ### 8. Data, Attestations & Transparency * Dashboards: Total/circulating supply, mints/burns, holder distribution * Attestations: Reserve proofs (monthly standard; higher cadence optional) * APIs: * `GET /supply` — total & circulating * `GET /events` — mint/burn/bridge feed * `GET /reserves` — latest attestation snapshot/metadata * Audit access: Read-only data rooms and exportable reports ### 9. Economics (High-Level) * Setup: Legal, technical, and vault onboarding * Flow fees: Mint/burn, settlement, optional DeFi integration * Distribution: Listings, liquidity seeding (if applicable), co-marketing * Revenue sharing: Optional splits for channel partners/OEMs. *Full schedule provided in the Partner Agreement.* ### 10. Service Level Agreements (Indicative) * Mint window: T+0 once custody is confirmed (business hours) * Attestations: Monthly (standard) • Weekly (premium) * Redemption: T+1 bar release (standard) • Same-day (priority, location-dependent) * Support: 24/5 operations; incident updates ≤ 2 hours; post-mortems ≤ 5 business days ### 11. Compliance & Risk Controls * Licensed settlement: Precious metals & stablecoin rails where applicable * KYC/KYB & sanctions: Required for program onboarding; mandatory for physical redemption * Address-level controls: Rare, policy-bound (e.g., legal requests, exploit response) * Change management: Mint/burn role rotation, key management, upgrade policy * Risk disclosures: Market, custody, counterparty, bridging, smart-contract, and liquidity risks ### 12. Integrations & Distribution * Venues: DEX/CEX/OTC partners, market-maker programs * DeFi rails: Lending markets, LP vaults, hedged strategies, structured notes * Bridging: Omnichain movement as enabled; settle where liquidity is deepest * Oracles: Price feeds for NAV/marking (per integration) ### 13. Example Term Sheet (Template) > Issuer: \\ > Asset: Gold (LBMA 99.99%), allocated/segregated\ > Unit: 1 troy ounce per token (fixed)\ > Chain: Primary \; bridging per schedule\ > Initial mint cap: \ oz (expandable via attestation)\ > Fees: Setup \; Mint \; Burn \; Settlement \; DeFi \\ > Attestations: Monthly (independent audit optional/quarterly)\ > Redemption: T+1 at \; shipping at cost\ > Reporting: API + monthly PDF\ > Co-marketing: Joint PR + listing support (optional) ### 14. Example Use Cases * Refiner working capital: Tokenize 5,000 oz; sell 1,000 oz on-chain; use remaining as collateral for a revolving line. * Dealer omni-retail: Offer 1-oz PGOLD units to global buyers; ship bars only on redemption. * Treasury optimization: Park idle bars as tokens for short-term liquidity and hedged LP strategies. ### 15. FAQs
Do you support gram/kilo denominations or serial-bar tokens? **No.** All issuance is standardized: **1 troy oz per token**.
Who can mint/burn? Only role-gated program addresses controlled by the TaaS agreement.
Is KYC/KYB required? For program onboarding and **physical redemption**. Secondary on-chain transfers remain permissionless unless policy requires controls.
How is supply matched to reserves? 1:1 mapping with attestation references; burns on redemption reconcile supply.
