PAX GOLD (PAXG)

The safest way to own investment-grade physical gold.



A DIGITAL TOKEN, BACKED BY PHYSICAL GOLD

PAXG offers investors a cost-effective way to own investment-grade physical gold
with all the benefits of the blockchain. Each Pax Gold (PAXG) token is backed by
one fine troy ounce of gold, stored in LBMA vaults in London. If you own PAXG,
you own the underlying physical gold, held in custody by Paxos Trust Company.

Cost-efficient

Paxos offers PAXG at a lower cost structure than that of other gold tokens, gold
ETFs and LBMA 400 t oz bars, with a low minimum purchase amount and zero storage
fees.

Secure and regulated

The allocated gold that backs PAXG is custodied in LBMA vaults and audited
monthly. Paxos is a trust company and custodian regulated by the New York State
Department of Financial Services.

No settlement risk

Purchasing PAXG is free from settlement and credit risk, with near instantaneous
settlement in addition to T+2 (versus only T+2 for Gold ETFs and LBMA bars).

Redeemable

PAXG is the only gold token you can redeem for LBMA-accredited Good Delivery
gold bullion bars. Institutional customers can also redeem for unallocated Loco
London Gold. Redeem for USD at current gold market prices at any time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Pax Gold (PAXG)?
Pax Gold (PAXG) is an asset-backed token where one token represents one fine
troy ounce of a London Good Delivery gold bar, stored in professional vault
facilities. Anyone who owns PAXG has ownership rights to that gold under the
custody of Paxos Trust Company. Since PAXG represents physical gold, its value
is tied directly to the real-time market value of that physical gold. PAXG gives
customers the benefits of actual physical ownership of specific gold bars with
the speed and mobility of a digital asset. Customers are able to have fractional
ownership of physical bars. On the Paxos platform, customers can convert their
tokens to allocated gold, unallocated gold, or fiat currency (and vice versa)
quickly and efficiently, reducing their exposure to settlement risk. PAXG is
also available for trading on Paxos’ itBit exchange. PAXG will also be available
on other crypto-asset exchanges, wallets, lending platforms and elsewhere within
the crypto ecosystem.  At any time, PAXG holders can lookup the serial number,
value and physical characteristics of their vaulted gold just by entering their
Ethereum wallet address on the PAXG lookup tool on Paxos.com/paxgold.
What is the benefit of having physical assets on a blockchain?

Physical gold on the blockchain has the advantages of representing legal
ownership of physical allocated gold, but does not have the drawbacks of limited
transportability or high storage costs usually associated with it. Instead, it
has the divisibility, fungibility and tradability of any digital asset like
bitcoin. In other words, the best of physical and digital assets at the same
time!

How much gold is backing the total supply of Pax Gold (PAXG)?

The amount of gold representing the total supply of PAXG is a 1:1 ratio – one
fine troy ounce of gold equals one PAXG token. The total supply of gold
representing PAXG changes continuously as the market capitalization of PAXG
increases and decreases.

Can I get a fractional amount of a Pax Gold (PAXG) token?

Yes. It is possible to own tiny fractions of a token, which are divisible out to
18 decimal points. If you purchase PAXG directly from Paxos.com, the minimum
purchase is 0.01 PAXG (1% of a PAXG token – or roughly $15).

What does allocated and unallocated gold mean?
When a customer trades for allocated gold bars, they receive ownership  rights
to specific gold bars that are held in a precious metal dealer’s vault on the
customer’s behalf. Allocated gold is identifiable with a unique serial number,
purity, and weighting for each bar.   

When a customer trades for unallocated gold, they do not have actual ownership
over specific gold bars; instead, they have a general entitlement to a certain
quantity of gold that an institution promises to deliver. This is hypothetical
gold and is a liability of the institution that one has a claim against. This is
similar to the way a traditional bank operates – customers don’t own specific
notes, but rather they have a credit that can be paid out upon request.

What are the fees associated with Pax Gold?

On-Chain Transaction fees: Whenever PAXG tokens are sent on Ethereum network,
Paxos charges a small 0.02% fee of the amount of PAXG sent on the blockchain.
0.02% on-chain transaction fees are covered by users. For example, if you want
to send 10 PAXG from one Ethereum address to another, and you want to ensure
that the receiver gets at least 10 PAXG after fees, you should send at least
10.0020004001 PAXG total to cover the cost of the on-chain transaction fee. If
you initiated a transfer of 10 PAXG, the receiver would get 9.998 PAXG after
fees.


Storage fees: Paxos does not charge gold storage fees to its customers at this
time.



Creation and Destruction fees: Whenever you buy or sell PAXG from your Paxos
account (on either the wallet dashboard or PAX Gold pages), Paxos charges small
fees to process both the creation and destruction of PAXG tokens (see fee
schedule below). This includes all sales or conversions of PAX Gold to or from
USD, gold bars or unallocated gold.

These fees do not apply when purchasing & selling tokens through our exchange
order book or anywhere else outside the Paxos wallet. If you wish to purchase or
sell PAXG through our exchange order book your trades may be subject to
applicable trading fees.

What are on-chain transaction fees? Are they the same thing as 'gas'?

Sending a Pax Gold (PAXG) token from one ERC-20 address to another, such as when
moving funds from a wallet to an exchange, is an on-chain transaction;
possession of the token is transferred and recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. 

There are two kinds of fees that occur when you send PAXG on the blockchain: 

 * Standard ‘gas’ fee: Sending digital assets on Ethereum, requires computing
   power, or ‘gas.’ Just like any other Ethereum token, PAXG requires standard
   gas fees paid in ETH to compute the transaction. 
 * PAXG on-chain transaction fee: PAXG charges an additional fee. That fee is
   set to 0.02% of the amount of PAXG sent on the blockchain.

For example, if you want to send 10 PAXG from one Ethereum address to another,
and you want to ensure that the receiver gets at least 10 PAX after fees, you
should send at least 10.0020004001 PAXG total to cover the cost of the on-chain
transaction fee. If you initiated a transfer of 10 PAXG, the receiver would get
9.998 PAXG after fees.
