Tokenized Gold Supply: XAUT vs PAXG

How many ounces of gold are tokenized on-chain, and how is supply split between XAUT and PAXG?

Ounces of gold tokenized as XAUT and PAXG, the split between them, where they live and how many hold them, read from the token contracts.

About

What it answers, and for whom.

Tokenized gold puts allocated, vaulted gold on public chains: each XAUT (Tether Gold) and each PAXG (Paxos Gold) represents one fine troy ounce held for its holders. Because one token stands for one ounce, the token supply is the amount of gold tokenized, and it can be read straight from the contracts. This dashboard does that for both tokens on every chain they are issued on and shows how the total splits between them.

XAUT also moves to other chains as XAUt0, an omnichain version that locks XAUT on Ethereum and mints the same amount elsewhere, so XAUt0 is shown as part of XAUT and never added to it. Mints and burns show when the issuers create or redeem tokens against gold, which is where real changes in tokenized gold happen.

Use it to follow growth in tokenized gold, to compare the two issuers and to value the supply at the gold reference price, with every figure tied to the block it was read at.

Method

How it will be measured.

Every figure will be read at a block, kept with its source and its exact read, and open a receipt anyone can re-check.

How receipts work →
  1. Supply is each token's totalSupply() at the last block of each day, scaled by its decimals: PAXG on Ethereum; XAUT on Ethereum and Tron; XAUt0 on each chain it is minted on.
  2. XAUt0 is checked against the XAUT locked in its adapter contract on Ethereum, so the omnichain copies are never added to XAUT's own supply.
  3. Mints and burns come from each contract's issuance and redemption events and from Transfer logs to and from the zero address, summed per day.
  4. USD values multiply ounces by the Chainlink XAU/USD answer at the same block, with the round's update time; holders are addresses with a non-zero balance, rebuilt from Transfer logs.
  5. Every figure carries a receipt: the block, its hash and the calls behind it.

Questions

Questions people ask.

What is tokenized gold?

A token that represents ownership of physical gold held in a vault by its issuer. XAUT and PAXG each stand for one fine troy ounce, and holders can redeem them with the issuer for gold or its value, subject to the issuer's terms and minimums.

What is the difference between XAUT and PAXG?

Both are backed one to one by vaulted gold. PAXG is issued by Paxos under New York regulation and lives mainly on Ethereum; XAUT is issued by Tether on Ethereum and Tron and travels to other chains as XAUt0. They differ in custody, redemption terms and fees.

How much gold is tokenized?

The headline tile adds the ounces of XAUT and PAXG outstanding at the latest day-end block, with XAUt0 counted inside XAUT. It is the supply the contracts report; the issuers publish their attestations of the gold behind it off-chain.

What is XAUt0?

An omnichain version of XAUT built on LayerZero's OFT standard: XAUT is locked in an adapter contract on Ethereum and the same amount of XAUt0 is minted on another chain. It is operated separately from Tether, which issues and redeems only XAUT.

Is the gold behind these tokens on-chain?

No. The gold sits in vaults, and the issuers publish attestations of their holdings off-chain. The chain shows the tokens outstanding, so this dashboard reports supply and leaves the reserve check to the issuers' reports.

Troy ounce
The unit gold is weighed in, slightly heavier than an ordinary ounce. Each XAUT and PAXG represents one fine troy ounce.
Allocated gold
Specific bars held in a vault for the token holders, as opposed to a general claim on an issuer's metal.
Omnichain token
A token that moves between chains by locking or burning it on one chain and minting it on another, so total supply stays the same.
