Digital Gold is both new and centuries old. We’re proud to work alongside MiniPay and Celo to bring Gold to the forefront of the digital age, across borders and boundaries to you. The user.

What is Digital Gold?

Digital Gold, also known as Tether Gold or XAUt0, provides real-world ownership of physical gold to token holders. Each XAUt0 token is backed 1:1 by Tether Gold on Ethereum and physically redeemable. 1 XAUt0 token is equivalent to one troy ounce of physical gold stored in secure Swiss vaults. Digital Gold increases global access to gold while removing the hassle of transport and storage. It also enables access for 24/7 trading and smaller investments via fractional ownership.

Learn more about XAUt0 in our recent X Article: Gold as an RWA: The onchain case for XAUt0. Available here.

How to buy Digital Gold

Step 1 - Download the MiniPay app and find our “Buy Gold” Mini App in the “Apps” section.

Step 2 - Enter the amount of Digital Gold (XAUT0) that you would like to buy. You will need to give Squid approval to use USDC (or the stablecoin of your choice) for the transaction.

Step 3 - Click “Buy” to purchase your Gold. You’ll receive a notification that your Gold is on its way, and will be notified once it reaches your account.
