What is XAUt?
XAUt (Tether Gold) is a gold-backed token on Ethereum, with each token representing ownership of one troy ounce of physical gold.
XAUt lets holders gain exposure to gold on-chain, combining the stability of a hard asset with the transferability and divisibility of a crypto token.
XAUt is an ERC-20 token issued by Tether, backed by allocated gold bars held in Swiss vaults, with ownership verifiable via serial numbers.
XAUt is used as an inflation hedge and safe-haven asset within crypto portfolios, tradable 24/7 without the friction of traditional gold markets.
What is Ethereum?
Ethereum is a decentralized smart contract platform, home to the majority of DeFi protocols, stablecoins, and tokenized assets.
Its native token, ETH, is used for gas fees, staking, and as core collateral throughout the ecosystem.
Ethereum uses Proof of Stake with hundreds of thousands of validators, and scales through Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum that inherit its security.
Ethereum hosts the deepest liquidity and most battle-tested applications in crypto, making it the default settlement layer for on-chain finance.
