pGOLD part of the Stablecoin OS vision: tokenize any unit of value using pETH as common collateral.
SourceSynthetic Gold, No Vault Required
Polaris Gold shares infrastructure with its sibling pUSD but pegs to gold rather than the dollar — and critically, does so without any physical gold backing. Unlike XAUT or PAXG, which tokenize actual bars in Swiss vaults, pGOLD is a synthetic gold exposure minted from the same pETH collateral pool via CDPs on Ethereum. This makes it arguably more decentralized than any gold-pegged token on the market, at the cost of carrying all the risks of crypto collateral in a down market. Whether DeFi users want synthetic gold exposure from immutable contracts instead of custodied metal from Tether or Paxos is an experiment Polaris is willing to run.
