Aurus Economics

WHAT IS AURUS?

Aurus is a FinTech company founded in the UK that offers a tokenization-as-a-service (TaaS) solution to the gold market and soon for other commodities. The Aurus protocol interacts with a cohesive network of gold providers, vaults, and distribution channels that work in synergy to produce a decentralized gold-backed token for the mass market.

AurusGOLD (AWG) is a gold-backed token on the Ethereum blockchain. Each AWG token is fully collateralized by, and redeemable for 1 gram of 99.99% LBMA certified gold, stored in partnered, fully-audited vaults. Aurus charges a modest transaction fee of 0.015% or 0.05 AWG (whichever is greater) to the transaction initiator.

PARTNERS

AWG - GOLD-BACKED TOKEN

WHAT PROBLEM DOES AWG SOLVE?

We believe that combining the demonstrable stability of gold with the transparency, trust and efficiency of the blockchain is nothing short of a monetary revolution. Unprecedented liquidity - Aurus is democratizing gold by making it much more efficient to buy, store, and transfer. AWG enables people to trade cents worth of gold instantly, around the world, thus providing unprecedented liquidity in the gold space. Making gold as easy as money - Aurus makes gold practical as a means of payment. AWG meets the definition of money, functioning perfectly as a unit of account, store of value and medium of exchange. With the ability to conduct cheap, fast, reliable payments not restricted by borders, AWG poses as a sustainable, globally viable currency. AWG can provide people with the financial independence they deserve.

AWX - REVENUE SHARE TOKEN

AurusCOIN (AWX) is a revenue sharing token limited to a total supply of 30,000,000. As people around the world trade AWG, 70% of all the generated transaction fees are proportionally distributed across all AWX holders (paid in AWG). The remaining 30% of the generated fees are allocated towards the ecosystems’ operational costs as follows: 15% to gold providers, 15% to vault partners.

Investors

By replicating the traditional gold market in a digital way, Aurus has created a self-sustaining ecosystem that produces AWG. AWX creates value for all ecosystem participants while simultaneously posing as a great way to invest in the success of AWG. AWX holders directly benefit from the increase in the usage of AWG as generated revenues from fees rise. Therefore, the value of AWX is likely to increase parallel to the usage of AWG.

Whether it be through providing gold, catering for demand or spreading the word, it’s in the best interest of all AWX holders to increase the widespread usage of AWG.

Get yourself some AWX and join the ecosystem!
