In the fast-paced world of cryptocurrency, Tether Gold (XAUT) stands out as a unique asset, representing a digital version of physical gold. As an asset-backed token, XAUT's value is intrinsically linked to the price of gold, providing traders with an innovative way to engage with the precious metal within the digital realm. 

What is Tether Gold

Tether Gold is a digital asset pegged to gold’s value. Each unit of the project’s token is an equivalent price of an ounce of this valuable asset. It can be described as a stablecoin, albeit backed by real gold, not fiat currencies. This gold-pegged stablecoin is issued by Tether, the company behind the leading US dollar-based stablecoin USDT.

Gold has retained its value throughout the years and has become an ideal option for most people to pass their wealth to the next generation. Tether Gold aims to piggyback on this and deliver an innovative platform that offers you ownership of gold without the numerous drawbacks associated with the physical asset, such as location limits concerning purchasing and owning gold. With this platform, users hold physical and digital assets. 

The Tether Gold team 

Tether Gold was developed by a group of Bitcoin supporters and enthusiasts keen on facilitating the seamless use of traditional currencies in a digital capacity. The team comprises renowned experts from Tether, such as JL Van Der Velde (CEO), Giancario Devasini (CFO), Stuart Hoegner (General Counsel), Paolo Ardoino (CTO), Leonardo Real (CCO), and Claudia Lagorio (COO). 

How does Tether Gold work 

Tether Gold works like a fiat currency-backed stablecoin, with a few differences. When a user buys the project’s native token, XAUT, it assigns ownership of one troy ounce of gold to the purchased token. The gold is then safely stored in a vault on the user’s behalf. In essence, when someone buys the native token, they immediately own a physical gold asset which Tether safeguards and keeps custody of. According to the team, there is a minimum purchase of 50 tokens. 

The nature of physical gold makes the redemption of funds a bit complicated. Tether Gold holders can choose to redeem their tokens for ounces of physical gold or request TG Commodities Limited to sell them for cash. Either of these options attracts a transaction fee. 

Tether Gold can deliver physical gold to any location in Switzerland. 

Tether Gold’s native token: XAUT 

XAUT is the project’s native token. It represents ownership of physical gold securely stored somewhere in the world. It is an ERC-20-compatible token, meaning it can be deployed on the Ethereum network. 

Each holder receives a unique serial number associated with their gold holdings, which is required during the ownership verification process. This verification process ensures the authenticity and ownership of the real gold backing the digital asset, offering transparency and security to XAUT holders.

XAUT tokenomics 

There is a total and circulating supply of 246,500 tokens. XAUT, according to the website, will guarantee holders an opportunity to trade and own real gold. Like USDT, there is no maximum supply of XAUT, as the company continually mints additional tokens whenever a customer purchases them. However, one significant difference from regular stablecoins is that XAUT can be redeemed for physical gold or sold for cash.

XAUT use cases 

XAUT offers several use cases as a token representing the value of gold. Firstly, it serves as a store of value, providing users with exposure to the stability and potential appreciation of physical gold. Additionally, XAUT caters to customers who wish to buy gold but cannot physically store them, offering a convenient and secure alternative for those seeking exposure to the precious metal.

Consensus Mechanism
Tether Gold is present on the following networks: ethereum, okc_token. The Ethereum network uses a Proof-of-Stake Consensus Mechanism to validate new transactions on the blockchain. Core Components 1. Validators: Validators are responsible for proposing and validating new blocks. To become a validator, a user must deposit (stake) 32 ETH into a smart contract. This stake acts as collateral and can be slashed if the validator behaves dishonestly. 2. Beacon Chain: The Beacon Chain is the backbone of Ethereum 2.0. It coordinates the network of validators and manages the consensus protocol. It is responsible for creating new blocks, organizing validators into committees, and implementing the finality of blocks. Consensus Process 1. Block Proposal: Validators are chosen randomly to propose new blocks. This selection is based on a weighted random function (WRF), where the weight is determined by the amount of ETH staked. 2. Attestation: Validators not proposing a block participate in attestation. They attest to the validity of the proposed block by voting for it. Attestations are then aggregated to form a single proof of the block’s validity. 3. Committees: Validators are organized into committees to streamline the validation process. Each committee is responsible for validating blocks within a specific shard or the Beacon Chain itself. This ensures decentralization and security, as a smaller group of validators can quickly reach consensus. 4. Finality: Ethereum 2.0 uses a mechanism called Casper FFG (Friendly Finality Gadget) to achieve finality. Finality means that a block and its transactions are considered irreversible and confirmed. Validators vote on the finality of blocks, and once a supermajority is reached, the block is finalized. 5. Incentives and Penalties: Validators earn rewards for participating in the network, including proposing blocks and attesting to their validity. Conversely, validators can be penalized (slashed) for malicious behavior, such as double-signing or being offline for extended periods. This ensures honest participation and network security. OKC, also known as OKX Chain, is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain built on the Cosmos SDK. It employs a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism, enhanced by Tendermint's Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) protocol. In this system, OKT token holders delegate their tokens to validators, who are responsible for validating transactions and producing new blocks. Additionally, OKC supports interoperability through the Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol, facilitating seamless value transfer between blockchains within the Cosmos ecosystem.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
Tether Gold is present on the following networks: ethereum, okc_token. Ethereum, particularly after transitioning to Ethereum 2.0 (Eth2), employs a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to secure its network. The incentives for validators and the fee structures play crucial roles in maintaining the security and efficiency of the blockchain. Incentive Mechanisms 1. Staking Rewards: Validator Rewards: Validators are essential to the PoS mechanism. They are responsible for proposing and validating new blocks. To participate, they must stake a minimum of 32 ETH. In return, they earn rewards for their contributions, which are paid out in ETH. These rewards are a combination of newly minted ETH and transaction fees from the blocks they validate. Reward Rate: The reward rate for validators is dynamic and depends on the total amount of ETH staked in the network. The more ETH staked, the lower the individual reward rate, and vice versa. This is designed to balance the network's security and the incentive to participate. 2. Transaction Fees: Base Fee: After the implementation of Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 1559, the transaction fee model changed to include a base fee that is burned (i.e., removed from circulation). This base fee adjusts dynamically based on network demand, aiming to stabilize transaction fees and reduce volatility. Priority Fee (Tip): Users can also include a priority fee (tip) to incentivize validators to include their transactions more quickly. This fee goes directly to the validators, providing them with an additional incentive to process transactions efficiently. 3. Penalties for Malicious Behavior: Slashing: Validators face penalties (slashing) if they engage in malicious behavior, such as double-signing or validating incorrect information. Slashing results in the loss of a portion of their staked ETH, discouraging bad actors and ensuring that validators act in the network's best interest. Inactivity Penalties: Validators also face penalties for prolonged inactivity. This ensures that validators remain active and engaged in maintaining the network's security and operation. Fees Applicable on the Ethereum Blockchain 1. Gas Fees: Calculation: Gas fees are calculated based on the computational complexity of transactions and smart contract executions. Each operation on the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) has an associated gas cost. Dynamic Adjustment: The base fee introduced by EIP-1559 dynamically adjusts according to network congestion. When demand for block space is high, the base fee increases, and when demand is low, it decreases. 2. Smart Contract Fees: Deployment and Interaction: Deploying a smart contract on Ethereum involves paying gas fees proportional to the contract's complexity and size. Interacting with deployed smart contracts (e.g., executing functions, transferring tokens) also incurs gas fees. Optimizations: Developers are incentivized to optimize their smart contracts to minimize gas usage, making transactions more cost-effective for users. 3. Asset Transfer Fees: Token Transfers: Transferring ERC-20 or other token standards involves gas fees. These fees vary based on the token's contract implementation and the current network demand. Within the OKC ecosystem, users pay transaction fees, typically less than $0.01, for executing operations on the network. These fees are distributed to validators as rewards for their services in maintaining network security and processing transactions.
