Gold has protected wealth for over 5,000 years. Now you can own it digitally, safely stored in Swiss vaults.
Gold: The Ultimate Safe Haven
Throughout history, gold has been humanity's most trusted store of value. Unlike currencies that can be printed infinitely, gold's scarcity is guaranteed by nature. When markets crash, currencies inflate, or geopolitical tensions rise, gold holds its value.

Why People Choose Gold
Inflation protection: Gold preserves purchasing power when currencies lose value.
Crisis insurance: During market crashes and uncertainty, gold typically rises.
Universal value: Recognized worldwide, independent of any government.
No default risk: Physical gold can't go bankrupt or be devalued by policy.
Tokenized Gold: The Best of Both Worlds
Traditional gold has one major drawback: it's hard to use. You can't easily send gold bars across the world, split them into small pieces, or use them for payments. Tokenization solves this.
The simple idea: Real gold bars sit safely in Swiss vaults. You hold digital tokens that represent ownership of that gold. Send it anywhere, trade it anytime, own any amount.
What Tokenization Enables
Own any amount: Buy as little as $1 worth of gold instead of full bars.
Instant transfers: Send gold value globally in seconds, not weeks.
24/7 liquidity: Trade anytime on decentralized exchanges.
No storage hassle: Professional vaults handle security; you just hold tokens.
Real redemption: Tokens can be converted back to physical gold bars.

Your Gold is Safe
The gold backing your tokens isn't just numbers on a screen. It's real, physical gold bars stored in high-security Swiss vaults.
Swiss Vaults
Physical gold stored in Switzerland's most secure facilities, fully insured.
99.99% Pure
LBMA-certified gold bars from Metalor, a world-leading Swiss refiner.
Quarterly Audits
KPMG performs on-site audits to verify gold holdings match tokens.
Redeemable
Tokens are backed by GLD NFTs, which can be redeemed for real gold bars.
How the Backing Works
Every token traces back to real gold through a simple chain:
Physical gold bars are stored in Swiss vaults by Metalor and Loomis.
GLD NFTs are digital certificates representing specific gold bars (serial number, weight, purity).
GLDT tokens are minted by locking GLD NFTs in smart contracts.
Full circle: You can always reverse the process and redeem for physical gold.
This isn't paper gold. Unlike gold ETFs where you trust a custodian's promise, this system is verifiable on-chain and redeemable for actual gold bars you can hold in your hands.
Trusted Partners
The gold ecosystem is built on partnerships with the most respected names in gold and finance:
Metalor: Swiss gold refiner with 100+ years experience and LBMA accreditation.
Loomis: Global leader in secure precious metals storage and logistics.
