Learn How TauCoin Works

TauCoin is a digital stablecoin fully backed by physical gold. It represents a cryptocurrency token (TAU) where each token equals one gram of real gold kept in secure vaults. TauCoin combines the stability of gold with the convenience of crypto – when you hold TAU tokens, you effectively own gold, but you can transact with it on a blockchain like any crypto asset. It’s a bridge between the traditional gold market and modern digital finance.

Every TauCoin token in circulation is 100% backed by physical gold bars of 99.99% purity. These gold reserves are stored in accredited, high-security vaults in Kazakhstan and are subject to strict oversight and regular independent audits. We use reliable oracles (such as Chainlink) to peg the token’s value to the live spot price of gold. Whenever gold reserves increase or decrease, TauCoin tokens are minted or burned accordingly to maintain a one-to-one backing. This ensures that the total supply of TauCoin never exceeds the actual gold held in reserve.

You can purchase TauCoin tokens through our platform once you have registered and completed verification as an investor. Simply deposit funds (we support bank transfers and credit/debit cards, with crypto funding options coming soon) and exchange for TauCoin at the current gold market rate. Additionally, TauCoin is designed to be traded on cryptocurrency exchanges and decentralized exchanges, so you may buy or sell TAU tokens on participating exchange platforms just as you would with other cryptocurrencies. Our website will provide an updated list of official exchange listings as they become available.

The gold backing TauCoin is held in secure vaults under strict control within Kazakhstan . These vaults meet international standards for security and auditing. We believe in full transparency – while you may not physically visit the vault, we publish regular audit reports from independent auditors confirming the total gold reserves and their purity. Each audit will verify that the amount of gold in storage matches the number of TauCoin tokens in circulation. In the future, we plan to implement on-chain proof-of-reserve disclosures, so that you can cryptographically verify the backing of TauCoin in real time.

Gold mining enterprises can join the TauCoin platform by undergoing a thorough onboarding and verification process. A company interested in tokenizing its gold or raising funds will provide detailed information about its operations, gold reserves, and legal compliance. Our team evaluates the project’s credibility, including verifying their mining licenses and the quantity/quality of gold available for backing tokens. Once approved, the company can either deposit physical gold into the TauCoin reserve (to mint equivalent tokens) or issue a project-specific token through our platform. In both cases, the enterprise gains access to funding from TauCoin’s investor community. The key benefit for gold companies is that they can obtain capital by effectively pre-selling gold that remains safely stored, rather than taking on debt or selling equity. Each enterprise token or TauCoin allocation is tied to real gold, giving investors confidence in the value of the investment.

Signing up as an investor is straightforward. You need to be at least 18 years old and be prepared to complete our KYC (Know Your Customer) process. During registration, you’ll provide basic personal information (like your name, email, and phone number) and choose the Investor account type. After creating your account, we’ll ask you to verify your identity by uploading a government-issued ID (passport or driver’s license) and a proof of address (such as a utility bill). We take compliance seriously to ensure the platform remains secure and adheres to anti-money laundering regulations. Once your documents are submitted, our compliance team will quickly review them. Upon approval, you can fund your account and start buying TauCoin tokens. (Note: All personal data is handled with confidentiality and stored securely.)

If you represent a gold mining company or related enterprise seeking investment, you would register for a Company account. The sign-up will require basic information about your business (company name, country of registration, contact person, etc.). After account creation, the onboarding process is more extensive for enterprises: you’ll need to submit corporate documentation and project details. Typically, we require a copy of your company’s registration or incorporation certificate, proof of any mining licenses or permits, summary of your gold reserves or production capacity (with geological reports if available), and financial statements or business plan outlining how much investment you seek and how funds will be used. This due diligence ensures that only legitimate and viable projects are presented to our investors. Our team will work closely with you during verification, possibly scheduling meetings or site visits if necessary. Once your company passes all checks and an agreement is in place, we will announce your project on our platform, and you can begin tokenizing gold to raise funds. Security and trust are paramount, so this process may take some time, but it is there to protect both your company’s reputation and our investors’ interests.

Security and transparency are foundational to TauCoin. On the security side, our smart contracts undergo rigorous audits to ensure there are no vulnerabilities. The platform uses advanced encryption to protect user data and transactions. We also enforce strong user security measures (like two-factor authentication) to protect accounts. On the transparency side, TauCoin operates with an open-book philosophy: the blockchain ledger openly shows all TauCoin token transactions and the current supply, and we provide public proof of the gold reserves backing that supply. Independent third-party auditors regularly confirm that our gold vaults contain the correct amount of gold for the tokens issued, and we will publish these audit reports for anyone to review. Furthermore, TauCoin is being developed in line with regulatory guidance.

We collaborate with authorities and comply with relevant financial regulations to ensure that TauCoin is not just technically sound but also legally compliant. In short, you can trust TauCoin because you can verify every aspect of it – from on-chain transactions to off-chain gold holdings – and because we prioritize protecting our users at every step.

TauCoin tokens can be used in several ways:

• Hold as an Investment: You can simply hold TauCoin as a stable store of value, much like holding gold itself. It’s a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations, with the convenience of a digital asset.

• Trade: You may trade TauCoin on supported crypto exchanges for other cryptocurrencies or for cash. This means you can take advantage of market movements, or rebalance your portfolio, all while staying in a gold-backed asset class.

• Spend or Utilize in DeFi: As our ecosystem grows, you will gain more options. We are working on enabling TauCoin for payments and DeFi. For instance, you might soon be able to use TauCoin through a crypto debit card to make purchases, effectively spending gold at the store. Or you could use TauCoin as collateral on lending platforms to borrow other currencies (gold- backed lending). We’re also exploring the creation of NFTs and other digital products tied to TauCoin. Keep an eye on our updates – the utility of TauCoin will expand over time as we partner with fintech services and decentralized finance platforms.
