Ark Gold

Project Overview

Ark Gold ($AGLD) is a decentralized RWA protocol that establishes a cryptographically verified link between physical gold and on-chain liquidity. Issued natively on the Mantle Network, $AGLD eliminates the "bridge risks" associated with wrapped assets and introduces the first Atomic Verification Standard for commodity tokens.

The Problem

Current gold tokens suffer from two critical flaws:

1. Audit Latency: They rely on monthly paper audits, creating a 30-day "blind spot" where reserves are unverified.

2. Bridge Risk: Most L2 gold tokens are merely "wrapped" versions of Ethereum assets. If the bridge fails, the token becomes worthless.

The Solution: Ark Gold

We replace "Post-Audit Trust" with "Pre-Validation Enforcement."

• Mantle Native: Minted directly on Mantle for sub-second finality and negligible fees.

• The Circuit Breaker: Our smart contract queries the Korea Gold Exchange (KGE) inventory API every 10 seconds. If Mint Amount + Current Supply > Physical Reserve, the transaction Reverts immediately.

• Sovereign Custody: Backed 1:1 by Allocated Gold Bars stored in KGE’s sovereign-grade vaults, legally segregated from the custodian's balance sheet.

Key Features

• 🪙 Native Issuance: Zero bridge risk. Pure Mantle-native liquidity.

• 🛡️ Circuit Breaker: Mathematically impossible to over-mint tokens.

• 🔍 Proof of Reserve: Real-time on-chain verification (vs. monthly PDF reports).

• 🏦 Trusted Partner: Anchored by Korea’s largest precious metals distributor (KGE).
