Using a tokenized asset like a gold-backed token could be a benefit to the traditional gold buyer. The AWG tokens are sold at just a fraction above the gold spot price. Mr. Van Stijn explained, “Our processes are different than other gold-backed projects. All gold-backed stablecoins currently on the market have a centralized minting process. Meaning the company itself will, at some point, hold the gold. By digitally replicating the traditional gold market, Aurus is the first project to create a self-sustaining ecosystem made up of gold providers, vaults, and distributors that work together to produce a semi-decentralized gold-backed cryptocurrency.”
To allow the self-sustaining ecosystem to exist, Aurus circulates a second hybrid utility token, AurusCOIN (AWX). Mr. Mark Gesterkamp, the Business Development Director for Aurus, said, “AWX is limited to a total supply of 30,000,000 units, deriving transactional fees from the usage of AWG. AWX offers investors the opportunity to buy into the future growth of Aurus.” Mr. Van Stijn said, “As people around the world trade AWG, 70% of all the generated transaction fees are proportionally distributed across all AWX holders (paid in AWG). The remaining 30% of the generated fees are allocated towards the ecosystems’ operational costs as follows: 15% to gold providers, 15% to vault partners.” For the first time, market participants can generate a passive income stream on the bullion they sell.
