Core Utility

Token Utility

The $AUN is a multifunctional utility token at the core of the Aurum Network ecosystem. Designed to accelerate the adoption and integration of tokenized gold, $AUN powers a wide range of applications - from gold-backed payments and decentralized finance to ecosystem expansion via third-party platforms leveraging the Aurum Gold API.

Built to bridge the timeless value of gold with modern digital utility, $AUN enhances the monetization, accessibility, and usability of bullion gold throughout the global supply chain - from mining and refining to tokenization, retail, and financial services.

Gold-Backed Transactions

$AUN facilitates everyday payments backed by bullion gold, offering users the ability to preserve value and hedge against inflation while transacting within the ecosystem.

Ecosystem Growth & API Expansion

$AUN incentivizes adoption and development across platforms that integrate the Gold API - including payment gateways, e-commerce platforms, DeFi projects, GameFi applications, and enterprise solutions.

It fuels participation among ecosystem stakeholders such as miners, jewelers, traders, and retail users.

DeFi Integration

$AUN can be used within decentralized finance platforms for lending, borrowing, staking, liquidity provision, and yield-generating activities. This strengthens liquidity and positions gold as a programmable digital asset across modern financial rails.

Project Participation via Launchpad

Through the Aurum Launchpad, $AUN holders gain exclusive access to gold-backed project launches and early-stage investment opportunities, offering additional utility and capital growth potential.

Cross-Ecosystem Compatibility

$AUN functions across all Aurum-native platforms and third-party services using the Gold API - including Aurum Swap, DeFi applications, tokenized rewards systems, and GameFi environments - enabling frictionless token utility across domains.

Transaction Fee Discounts & VIP Benefits

$AUN holders benefit from reduced transaction fees, tier-based VIP access, exclusive ecosystem privileges, and preferential rates across platforms, exchanges, and affiliated partners.

The $AUN is structured to balance utility, community incentives, and long-term scarcity. With a capped supply, built-in buyback and burn programs, and allocations designed for ecosystem growth, $AUN is positioned as the engine driving Aurum’s gold-backed digital economy.

Appreciation Mechanics

1

Price Stability & Liquidity Plan

To balance utility and scarcity, Aurum integrates mechanisms that reduce supply while incentivizing token use

2

Built-in Buyback Mechanism

Every transaction on the Aurum Platform triggers an automatic $AUN buy, generating consistent demand. Purchased tokens are then burned, directly reducing circulating supply and supporting price floors.

3

Profit Allocation for Buybacks

Quarterly Impact: 25% of QMDSI’s net income goes toward open-market $AUN buybacks.

Scarcity in Action: All repurchased tokens are permanently burned, boosting $AUN’s scarcity over time.

4

Deflationary Supply Cap

The burn program continues until the circulating supply is reduced to 50% of total supply (500 million $AUN). This ensures sustainable scarcity while maintaining token utility across the ecosystem.
