Learn how GLD Finance brings institutional-grade gold-backed liquidity to Ethereum through GRAM (GLD) tokens anchored to PAXG (by Paxos).
What is GLD Finance?
GLD Finance is an institutional-grade liquidity protocol that brings gold-backed assets to Ethereum. Our GRAM (GLD) token is anchored to PAXG (PAX Gold by Paxos Trust Company), maintaining a target peg of approximately 1 gram of gold per token.
Unlike traditional gold tokens, GLD is designed specifically for institutional liquidity needs, offering deep on-chain liquidity through a dedicated Uniswap V3 pool and OTC trading desk for large block trades.
How It Works
Key Concepts
PAXG (PAX Gold)
PAXG is a regulated gold-backed token issued by Paxos Trust Company. Each PAXG token represents one fine troy ounce of London Good Delivery gold stored in Paxos-controlled vaults. PAXG is fully regulated and audited, making it the ideal anchor asset for GLD.
The Peg Mechanism
GLD maintains its peg to PAXG through market forces. When GLD trades above PAXG value, arbitrageurs can buy PAXG and sell GLD for profit, pushing the price down. When GLD trades below PAXG, they buy GLD and sell PAXG, pushing the price up. The deep Uniswap V3 liquidity pool facilitates this arbitrage.
Institutional Focus
GLD Finance is designed for institutional clients who need large-scale gold exposure on-chain. Our OTC desk handles block trades, our compliance framework meets institutional requirements, and our liquidity depth supports significant trading volumes without excessive slippage.
Supply Management
GLD has a maximum supply cap of 100M tokens, with an initial mint of 10M tokens. 50% (5M) is locked in the Uniswap V3 pool, and 50% (5M) is held in treasury for strategic partnerships and future collateral integrations. This controlled supply ensures stability and prevents dilution.
