FAQ

1. What is EURG?

EURG is a euro-denominated stablecoin backed 1:1 by physical reserves — 98% gold and 2% silver. It offers price stability, verifiability, and programmability for use in payments, DeFi, and real-world settlements.

2. How is EURG different from USDT or USDC?

Unlike fiat-collateralized stablecoins:

  • EURG is backed by real assets (gold/silver), not bank deposits

  • It is denominated in euros, not USD

  • It offers on-chain reserve proofs and physical redemption options

  • Its value is anchored by metal, not monetary policy

3. What makes EURG more trustworthy than other gold-backed tokens like PAXG or XAUt?

  • EURG is DeFi-native (ERC-20) and composable

  • It supports stablecoin-level usage (LPs, lending, DAO payments)

  • Audits are published to IPFS with on-chain links

  • It offers a euro pricing model, with more use cases in non-USD zones

4. What can I do with EURG?

You can:

  • Use it as a stable payment unit

  • Stake or LP in DeFi pools

  • Redeem for physical metal or stablecoins

  • Hold it as a hedge against inflation and fiat risk

  • Pay salaries or settle invoices globally

5. How do I redeem EURG for physical gold or silver?

  • Complete KYC once via the official portal

  • Choose redemption type: gold or silver

  • Minimum: 10g gold / 100g silver

  • Delivery in 5–10 business days via Brinks or EMS

  • Or choose stablecoin / fiat withdrawal instead

6. Is KYC required to use EURG?

  • No KYC is required to buy, hold, or use EURG in DeFi

  • KYC is only required if you want to redeem for physical metal or fiat

7. What is EGT and why does it exist?

EGT (Equity Governance Token) is the protocol’s governance + growth token.

  • Vote on proposals (fees, vaults, integrations)

  • Earn quarterly dividends in USDT or EURG

  • Receive ecosystem rewards for LP, staking, DAO work

  • Share in protocol revenue and direction

8. How do EGT holders earn dividends?

  • A portion of all protocol fees go into the EGT Dividend Pool

  • Every quarter, a snapshot determines eligible EGT wallets

  • Rewards are distributed in USDT or EURG, claimable via portal

9. Can EURG be used in DeFi protocols like Aave or Uniswap?

Yes. EURG is ERC-20 compatible and can be integrated into:

  • Lending protocols (as collateral)

  • Liquidity pools (e.g., EURG/USDC, EURG/xGOLD)

  • Treasury management tools for DAOs

  • RWA-based DeFi asset builders

10. Is EURG a security token? Is it legally compliant?

No. EURG and its derivatives (xGOLD, xSILVER):

  • Are not securities under most jurisdictions

  • Follow SPV-based reserve segregation

  • Publish transparent audits (ISAE 3000 aligned)

  • Apply KYC/AML policies for physical interaction

  • Do not serve users in OFAC-sanctioned regions
