Tokenization Process
1
Token Supply
4,000,000 troy ounces of gold are tokenized into 124,400,000 Real-World Asset (RWA) tokens, with each token representing one gram of gold.
2
Initial Token Pricing and Valuation
RWA Tokens are initially priced at $9.65 per gram, reflecting a 10% discount to the spot price of $3,000 per ounce (total value approximately $1.2 billion.
3
Oversight Mechanisms
On-chain oracles ensure real-time verification and validation of gold reserves, supporting the integrity and valuation of the RWA tokens.
4
Treasury Deposit
All 124,400,000 RWA tokens are securely stored within a precious metals treasury, facilitating transparent audits, asset security, governance participation, and potential yield generation.
5
Digital Asset Token Exchange
RWA tokens can be exchanged for Certificate of Deposit (COD) tokens at a rate of $9.65 per token. Each COD token offers treasury governance, appreciation, and yield generation, redeemable for cash or stablecoins.
6
PRTO (Pretio) Token
A tradable growth token with an 18‑month vesting schedule that, when locked as vePRTO, grants holders voting rights and a share of protocol revenue from DeFI yield initiatives.
