Why Tokenize Gold?

By tokenizing gold on the blockchain, we enable fractional ownership, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and transparent provenance tracking. Each GOLD token represents 1 gram of verified physical metal stored at PT Pegadaian (Persero) [NC] and insured by PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia (Jasindo) [NC]. You can buy as little as 1 gram and redeem physical metal anytime.
