Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about AuroToken

The Basics

What is AuroToken?

AuroToken is a digital stablecoin 100% backed by physical gold, where each token represents exactly one gram of fine gold with 999.9 purity, stored in certified secure facilities and regularly verified by independent auditors. AuroToken combines the stability and intrinsic value of gold with the efficiency, transparency, and accessibility of blockchain technology.

Why choose AuroToken?

AuroToken offers unique advantages compared to other solutions:

  • Stability: Value is anchored to gold, a historic store of value
  • Inflation protection: Gold has proven to preserve purchasing power in the long term
  • Total transparency: Real-time verification of gold reserves
  • Accessibility: Ability to own fractions of a gram of gold without custody issues
  • Liquidity: Easily convertible to other currencies and cryptocurrencies
  • Security: Based on mature blockchain technology and rigorous audits
How is the value of AuroToken guaranteed?

Each AuroToken represents exactly 1 gram of physical gold with 999.9 purity (24 karats). The gold is stored in certified security vaults, regularly audited by independent verifiers. The correspondence between tokens in circulation and gold reserves is verifiable in real-time through our transparency dashboard. The price of AuroToken follows the market price of gold, with a slight variation due to issuance and redemption costs.

Technical Aspects

Which blockchain does AuroToken operate on?

AuroToken is implemented on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, the most established platform for value tokens. This ensures maximum compatibility with existing wallets, exchanges, and DeFi apps. We also support Layer 2 solutions like Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism to ensure low fees and high transaction speed.

How does reserve verification work?

Our reserve verification system is based on multiple levels:

  • Regular physical audits: Periodic inspections of gold reserves by world-renowned independent auditors
  • Digital certification: Audit reports published and verifiable by anyone
  • On-chain attestations: Audit data inserted into the blockchain for immutability and transparency
  • Real-time dashboard: Always updated visualization of the correspondence between tokens in circulation and gold reserves
  • Documented process: Detailed and public audit methodology

This approach ensures that every token is always 100% backed by its equivalent in physical gold.

What security measures are implemented?

AuroToken's security is guaranteed at multiple levels:

  • Physical gold security: Custody in maximum security vaults with international certifications, complete insurance, and geographic diversification
  • Smart contract security: Multiple security audits by leading companies, formal verification, and bug bounty program
  • Operational security: Multi-signature controls for critical operations, timelock for significant changes, and continuous monitoring

Can I redeem AuroToken for physical gold?

  • Physical gold redemption is available for amounts starting from 100 AURO (equivalent to 100 grams of gold)
  • You will need to complete KYC verification for redemption

  • A redemption fee of 0.5% + shipping and insurance costs applies

What are the fees associated with AuroToken?

AuroToken has a transparent fee structure:

  • Issuance (minting): 0.5% of value
  • Currency redemption: 0.5% of value
  • Physical gold redemption: 0.5% + shipping and insurance costs
  • Custody: 0% (included in token value)
  • Transactions: Only the standard cost of the blockchain network used

There are no hidden fees or maintenance costs.

Legal Aspects

How do you handle regulatory compliance?

AuroToken operates in full compliance with applicable regulations. Our approach includes:

  • KYC/AML (Know Your Customer/Anti-Money Laundering) compliance for all users
  • Proactive collaboration with regulatory authorities
  • Solid legal structure with regulated company and appropriate licenses
  • Legal segregation of gold reserves from other company assets
  • Transparent terms of service compliant with consumer protection regulations
Who owns the physical gold backing AuroToken?

The physical gold backing AuroToken is legally held by a trust structure separate from the issuing company. This ensures that the gold is always owned by AuroToken holders collectively and protected from any potential issues of the operating company. The trust structure is supervised by independent trustees with a legal obligation to act in the interest of token holders.

Is AuroToken available in all countries?

We aim to make AuroToken available globally, but there are restrictions in some jurisdictions due to local regulatory requirements. At launch, we will provide a complete list of supported countries. Our goal is to progressively expand geographic availability by working with local authorities to ensure full regulatory compliance in each market.
