Are rewards really paid in gold?

Rewards are distributed in PAXG, which is backed 1:1 by physical gold held by the NYDFS-regulated Paxos Trust. PAXG is redeemable/tradeable like any ERC-20.

Is this the same as a gold savings account?

No. A savings account pays a fixed rate; AYNI's gold-denominated reward is variable and tied to real mine production, so it can be higher or lower — and is not guaranteed.

Gold-backed DeFi yield: earn yield in gold, on chain

Gold has always been a store of value, but holding it earns nothing. AYNI Gold turns gold into a yield-generating asset: you participate in a real gold operation and receive rewards in PAXG, a token backed 1:1 by physical gold. This is gold-backed crypto yield — and you are paid in gold itself.

Earn yield in gold, not in a volatile token

With AYNI you earn yield in gold. Rewards are distributed in PAXG, so your return is denominated in a hard asset rather than in a reward token whose price can evaporate. This is the core idea behind gold-backed stable yield: the unit of reward is gold.

DeFi gold yield, sourced from real production

DeFi gold yield on AYNI is sourced from actual extraction. The May 2026 pilot distributed $307k to participants from 13,434.8 grams of gold. Rewards follow the formula extraction − operating costs − programme fee, accrue daily and pay every 90 days for Gold Units.

PAXG yield staking and staking rewards in gold

If you think in terms of PAXG yield staking or staking rewards in gold, AYNI is the closest fit: instead of lending PAXG for a thin rate, your participation is tied to mine output and your rewards land as PAXG. Gold becomes a yield-generating asset rather than dead weight.

How to earn gold on blockchain

To earn gold on blockchain with AYNI, choose a Gold Unit tier (from $30) or stake AYNI tokens (from USDT 1,000). Participation, locks and distributions are tracked on Ethereum, and rewards arrive in PAXG to a self-custodied wallet.
