Gold DAO, a pioneering Initiative by DAO.Link, unveils a new era for gold trading

For millennia, gold has symbolised wealth, prestige, and craftsmanship. However, its physical limitations have hindered its practicality as a currency. Gold DAO addresses this by digitising gold into blockchain-based tokens, blending the intrinsic value of gold with the benefits of decentralisation, transparency, and security offered by blockchain technology.

Collaboration and rigorous compliance for a Digital Gold Ecosystem

The Gold DAO project is a collaborative effort involving industry leaders like ORIGYN Protocol, Yumi Marketplace, DFINITY Foundation, Bity, Metalor, Loomis, KPMG, and Quantum Agency. This alliance aims to revolutionise gold transactions, making them more accessible and secure for everyone.

Gold DAO’s primary focus is on security, compliance, and cross-chain capabilities. Physical gold, insured and stored in Switzerland and audited by KPMG, forms the backbone of this project. The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) is utilised to establish a Service Nervous System (SNS), ensuring decentralisation and project security.

The tokenomics of Gold DAO, conceptualised by Dr. Yulin Liu, a renowned monetary theorist, ensures a stable and sustainable ecosystem. SNS holders of GLDGov tokens will actively participate in governance, influencing decisions and sharing in the project’s revenue.

DAO Link is the entity that launched Gold DAO. Their CEO, Julien Aerni, had this to say about the launch:

“This is a momentous occasion of fusion between established practices and cutting-edge innovation. Instead of trying to replace gold as the premiere symbol of value in the world, we are using the most advanced technology to make the market better, faster, smarter, safer, and more accessible. It’s a dream come true.”

Gold DAO’s strategy unfolds in three phases:

  1. Phase 1: Completed by ORIGYN and Yumi, involving the creation of GLD-NFTs linked to physical gold bars in secure storage. 
  2. Phase 2: Introducing fungibility to GLD-NFTs, creating a liquid digital gold token, GLDT, for broader use as a medium of exchange cross blockchain, hence increasing the usability of GLDT among different ecosystems.
  3. Phase 3: Developing a gold-backed stable-coin pegged to the US dollar, expanding the utility and stability of digital gold assets.

Engaging the community: giveaways and Twitter Spaces

To celebrate the launch and engage the community, Gold DAO announces a special giveaway on its official Telegram channel, offering 10 x 1 g of gold to lucky winners. Additionally, Gold DAO will feature in an influential Twitter Space hosted by @Crypto_TownHall, discussing Real World Assets (RWA) in Crypto and spotlighting Gold DAO.

The ORIGYN foundation has generously donated 500 million $OGY tokens to support the Gold DAO SNS, providing a robust foundation for the project’s success. Gold DAO invites the community to engage, contribute, and be part of this transformative journey.

All of these initiatives and further information on how to participate can be found on Gold DAO’s X.com (formerly Twitter) profile, found here:
