Yield-bearing gold

Aureus does not create gold exposure or gold yield. It starts from existing yield-bearing tokenized gold and creates a market for the two economic components it contains. If you only want to hold yield-bearing gold and earn its yield, you do not need Aureus.

Physical gold  → no yield
PAXG           → tokenized gold, no yield
PAXGy          → gold principal + future gold yield

A yield-bearing wrapper typically tracks its value through an exchange rate against the tokenized gold it holds. As yield accrues, one unit of the wrapper becomes redeemable for slightly more of the underlying gold.

What drives the yield

The source, size and stability of the yield are defined by the wrapper’s issuer and strategy, not by Aureus. Aureus prices that yield over time; it does not generate it or guarantee it.

• The yield can change, including falling to zero.
• The wrapper carries its own issuer, custody, strategy and smart-contract risks.
• Those risks flow through to every Aureus position built on it.

What Aureus supports

Environment	Asset	Notes
Ethereum testnet	Mock PAXGy	Test asset that reproduces exchange-rate behaviour. No monetary value. Not an official Paxos deployment.
Ethereum mainnet	PAXGy	Roadmap, Phase 2. See the roadmap.

Caution

If the app shows a current PAXGy yield, it is external reference data, labelled with its source. It is not an Aureus rate and not a forecast.
