Asset & Tokenization Model

Smart Contract Architecture for Gold Pegging

LumiVault ensures that its 80-tonne gold reserve is securely tokenized and fully backed by a fixed 500 million $LVT token supply.

Each $LVT = 0.16g of physical gold, representing a fractional ownership claim over legally verified reserves.

This gold peg guarantees that $LVT maintains:

  • Intrinsic value

  • Full redemption eligibility

  • Secure and verifiable backing


🔗 Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) Protocol

The tokenization of LumiVault’s reserves is enforced through an on-chain Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) framework:

  • Gold reserves are managed via multi-signature vaults operated by independent custodians

  • Periodic audits are conducted to confirm physical reserves

  • Oracle feeds (e.g. Chainlink) update reserve data on-chain in near real-time

  • All data is publicly visible and tamper-proof, ensuring user trust and regulatory integrity


💱 Redemption via Smart Contract

Beyond investment and trading, $LVT token holders can redeem their tokens for physical gold via a dedicated redemption contract.

  • Tokens are burned at redemption

  • Redemption is calculated based on the current peg (1 $LVT = 0.16g)

  • Minimum redemption threshold: 1,000 $LVT ▪ Ensures logistical efficiency ▪ Preserves vault stability and liquidity


This architecture enables LumiVault to maintain a secure, transparent, and decentralized linkage between physical gold and its digital representation, positioning $LVT as a next-generation real-world asset (RWA) token backed by provable value.

LumiGold Asset Tokenization Model

Real-World Gold Rights → Tokenized Claims

  • Source Asset: 80 tonnes (80,000 kg) of legally registered and verifiable gold mining rights, tied to active exploration and extraction sites

  • Tokenized Representation: The entire reserve is fractionalized into 500,000,000 $LVT tokens

  • Backing Ratio: 1 $LVT = 0.16g of gold (Based on 80,000 kg ÷ 500M tokens)


📈 Price Peg Mechanism

The price of 1 $LVT is dynamically pegged using:

  • Chainlink or LayerZero oracle feeds

  • Real-time gold pricing, e.g. from PAXG market reference

  • Internal reserve pricing formula ensures on-chain accuracy


🛒 Purchase & Distribution Model

  • Primary Sale Only: $LVT is acquired exclusively via the official LumiVault DApp (not on DEXs yet)

  • Accepted Payments: USDT, USDC, and ETH

  • No Staking Rewards: LVT does not inflate via staking emissions — preserving scarcity and long-term value


Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) System

  • Vault Data Transparency: On-chain access to audit reports, mining licenses, and storage documentation

  • Live Oracle Sync: Constantly updated feed linking real-world vault data to on-chain indicators

  • Dashboard Access: Anyone can verify live reserve backing of all circulating $LVT at any time


Redemption Through PAXG (Gold-Backed Token)

  • Minimum Redemption Threshold: Users must hold ≥ 1,000 $LVT to initiate redemption

  • Redemption Format: Users exchange $LVT for PAXG — a gold-pegged token redeemable for physical gold via Paxos

  • Deflation Mechanism: All redeemed $LVT tokens are permanently burned, reducing total supply and increasing scarcity


Revenue & Sustainability

Without staking emissions, LumiVault’s revenue model includes:

  • Direct token sales (from treasury & reserve allocations)

  • Redemption service fees (in PAXG or stablecoins)

  • Institutional B2B gold access deals (off-chain fiat inflow via licensing or supply contracts)

Introduction to Lumi Vaults

Project Overview

LumiVault is a next-generation RWA + DeFi platform developed by GMEFI Inc., aiming to tokenize real-world mining assets and make them accessible through blockchain. The project is backed by extensive mining operations across Asia and Africa, with secured rights to extract gold, precious earth metals, and other valuable minerals.

As of May 2024, LumiVault's parent company has secured long-term mining rights and is scheduled to begin gold extraction in the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on the projected daily ore processing capacity of 300 tonnes over approximately 9 years and 3 months, a total of 89.85 metric tonnes of gold is expected to be recovered. This corresponds to an average ore grade of approximately 88.6 grams per tonne, representing a total market value of around ₩10 trillion KRW (approximately $7.3 billion USD).

⛏️ The extracted gold is stored in insured third-party vaults and undergoes on-chain reserve verification. These verified reserves are then used to mint LVT tokens, which can be purchased using USDT, USDC, or ETH. Users may redeem their LVT tokens for Paxos Gold (PAXG), ensuring liquidity and real-world asset backing without speculative risk.

A key strategic decision currently under review is whether to:

  1. Tokenize the mining rights themselves as Real World Assets (RWAs), enabling fractionalized ownership of land/resource rights; or

  2. Retain centralized control and instead distribute mining profits as dividends to token holders.

LumiVault is committed to selecting the structure that offers maximum investor benefit while ensuring long-term sustainability, transparency, and compliance with global financial regulations.

On-site Operations

Mining Operations & On-Site Validation

LumiVault’s foundational value proposition is built on real-world gold mining assets, which directly back LVT token liquidity and PAXG redemption. To ensure investor confidence and operational transparency, we outline below the core elements of our mining validation framework.

Proof of Reserve for Mining Assets

LumiVault is preparing to publicly disclose comprehensive documentation verifying the existence and viability of its mining operations, including:

  • Mining Rights & Legal Ownership Official titles and legal documents confirming that LumiVault or its operating subsidiaries hold exclusive rights to explore, develop, and mine designated sites.

  • Geological & Feasibility Studies Certified NI 43-101 or JORC-compliant reports (where applicable) from third-party geologists and surveyors, covering: ▪ Mineral content & ore grading ▪ Estimated reserve quantity ▪ Environmental impact & logistical viability

  • Operational Licenses Government-issued permits and clearances enabling mining, transportation, and commercial sale of extracted materials.

These documents will be made publicly accessible via the LumiVault Proof-of-Reserve Dashboard, ensuring transparent verification for both token holders and independent auditors.


Estimated Gold Production Capacity

Once operations begin, LumiVault plans to scale mining activities progressively over 12–18 months, based on pre-feasibility assessments and machinery capabilities:

  • Initial Output (Q3 2025): Estimated 1.5–2 metric tonnes/month

  • Full Capacity (Mid-2026): Up to 5 tonnes/month, depending on terrain, weather, and equipment upgrades

All extracted gold will feed directly into the Reserve Pool, which backs PAXG liquidity used for user redemptions.

Lumi Smart Contract Overview

Smart Contract Implementation & Fractionalized Gold-Backed Rights

Smart Contract Infrastructure: Tokenization, Redemption & Proof of Reserve

LumiVault’s smart contract infrastructure is purpose-built to facilitate the secure, transparent, and immutable tokenization of physical gold reserves, while ensuring seamless on-chain redemption for real-world gold.


Gold-Backed Tokenization

• The $LVT token is fully backed by 80 tonnes of insured physical gold, with each token representing a fixed gold weight ratio. • Tokens are deployed on Ethereum Layer 2 to ensure gas efficiency and fast execution. • As new gold reserves are verified and added, corresponding $LVT tokens are minted, maintaining the 1:1 gold-backing ratio. • When users redeem tokens (min. 1,000 $LVT) for gold-backed assets, the smart contract burns the equivalent supply.

This mint-burn mechanism ensures that the circulating token supply always reflects the actual reserves held in secure custody.


On-Chain Proof of Reserve (PoR)

• LumiVault integrates real-time Proof of Reserve directly into the Dapp interface. • Gold reserves held in custody are represented by PAXG tokens — a regulated, gold-backed digital asset issued by Paxos. • Every inflow/outflow of reserves is on-chain verified and reflected transparently, enabling users to track the exact PAXG backing ratio in real time. • Smart contracts enforce hard constraints that prevent minting beyond validated reserves.


Infrastructure Principles

  • ✅ No staking, no inflationary emissions

  • ✅ Real asset redemption model (1,000 $LVT ↔ PAXG)

  • ✅ Non-custodial, permissionless redemption

  • ✅ Immutable mint/burn contract logic


Through this architecture, LumiVault transforms tokenized gold into a trust-minimized, on-chain asset class — enabling users to access, track, and redeem physical gold in a fully decentralized manner, without relying on centralized intermediaries or opaque reserves

  • LumiVault Business Model

    Business Model + Core Value Proposition

    LumiVault is not just another DeFi platform — it is a vertically integrated, real-asset-backed economic engine that fuses the world of physical gold mining with advanced digital finance. By anchoring its token economy in audited gold production and Proof-of-Reserve transparency, LumiVault delivers tangible value, deflationary economics, and real-world redemption.


    Core Value Proposition LumiVault bridges the gap between crypto speculation and gold-backed stability. Users can earn, hold, and redeem $LVT tokens — each transparently backed by real gold via PAXG.

    Redeem-to-Earn Model LumiVault introduces a novel "Redeem-to-Earn" model where long-term participation and holding directly convert into tangible wealth backed by gold. Unlike staking-based incentives, this model promotes organic scarcity and financial discipline.


    Revenue Streams

    1. Redemption Fees

      • Flat or tiered redemption fees (e.g., 10%) apply when converting $LVT to PAXG.

      • This disincentivizes short-term churn and supports treasury growth.

    2. Vault Service Fees


    Token Utility – $LVT

    • Reserve-Backed: 1 $LVT = 0.16g of gold (via PAXG)

    • Redeemable: KYC users can redeem $LVT for PAXG

    • Deflationary: All redeemed $LVT tokens are burned

    • Governance & Tiering: Discounts, tiered benefits, and future DAO voting rights


    Target Users

    • Crypto-Natives: Seek stability without leaving Web3

    • Gold Enthusiasts: Desire tokenized real-world assets

    • Arbitrageurs: Exploit $LVT-PAXG spreads

    • Long-Term Holders: Attracted by redemption and deflationary dynamics


    Key Metrics & KPIs

    • Total PAXG redeemed

    • User growth & DEX volume

    • $LVT burn rate

    • Circulating supply ratio


    Strategic Vision LumiVault aims to set the global benchmark for redeemable digital assets. In contrast to hype-driven crypto models, it offers real-world value, transparency, and utility. With gold at its core, the protocol introduces a future-ready, durable DeFi model.


    Mining-Based Reserve Integration

    LumiVault secures its reserves not only through PAXG redemption pools but also through active mining operations in licensed areas across Southeast Asia. Each mining unit processes 300 tons of ore daily, yielding 4.8kg of gold/day. Over a 10-year horizon, cumulative gold production contributes directly to the reserve pool without inflating token supply.

    This business model supports:

    • Autonomous reserve expansion

    • Greater redemption credibility

    • Real-world asset integration without relying on third-party gold custodians alone

    Mining costs, equipment upgrades, and licensing are funded through operational revenues and the treasury's strategic allocation.


    Realistic Expansion Forecast

    LumiVault plans to scale verified gold reserves from 80 tonnes to ~400 tonnes over a 5-year period, through mine acquisitions, operational upgrades, and third-party audits.

    Expansion targets include:

    • Onboarding verified mines with geological reports

    • Deploying new mining units at strategic locations

    • Incorporating ore-backed gold into PoR dashboards

    Importantly, no token inflation will occur. The same $LVT supply will reflect higher backing, driving deflationary value growth for holders.

    Lumi Vault Ecosystem

    Lumi Buy — Accessing Tokenized Gold

    LumiVault’s purchasing system introduces a simplified, direct interface for acquiring $LVT, the protocol’s gold-backed token.

    🔗 Unlike traditional DeFi applications that rely on volatile AMMs or external liquidity pools, LumiVault eliminates intermediaries and offers a price-stable acquisition channel rooted in the live global market price of gold.


    How It Works

    To acquire $LVT:

    1. Connect your wallet to the LumiVault DApp

    2. Use supported tokens like USDT, USDC, or ETH

    3. The system dynamically calculates the $LVT price using a formula: ▪ 1 $LVT = 0.16 grams of gold ▪ Based on total supply of 500 million $LVT, backed by 80,000 kg of verified gold reserves

    Example: If gold is priced at $104,005.42/kg, then → 1 $LVT = $16.64


    🔍 Price Transparency & Integrity

    • Real-time pricing is sourced via Chainlink or equivalent oracles

    • Full transparency and pricing accuracy are ensured

    • Each $LVT token is pre-minted and backed 1:1 by audited physical gold reserves


    Gold-Backed Tokenomics

    • Token ownership = gold redemption claim

    • No excess issuance beyond the vault-backed reserve

    • Total supply is strictly capped, mirroring the legally verified gold reserves

    Lumi Redemption – Converting Digital Gold into Gold-Backed Value

    LumiVault enables token holders to redeem their $LVT holdings for gold-backed digital assets, specifically Paxos Gold (PAXG). This provides users with a seamless way to exit their position and access real-world value, without relying on speculative exchanges or waiting for physical delivery.

    Redemption becomes available after holding 1,000 $LVT. This threshold ensures operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness, particularly when interacting with treasury reserves denominated in PAXG.

    Upon initiating a redemption:

    • The smart contract verifies the user’s balance

    • The requested LVT is locked and burned permanently, reducing circulating supply

    • The user receives the equivalent in PAXG, calculated via a real-time oracle feed

    Conversion logic: Since 1 PAXG = 1 troy ounce of gold (≈ 31.1g), the system computes the gold equivalent of the redeemed LVT and automatically transfers the matching PAXG to the user’s wallet.

    This mechanism upholds LumiVault’s commitment to:

    • Full asset backing

    • Transparent and auditable reserve flows

    • Regulatory-compliant exit options via Paxos Trust Company


    LumiVault Token – $LVT

    The LumiVault Token ($LVT) is a gold-backed Real World Asset (RWA) token, representing fractional ownership of 80 tonnes of audited reserves, securely stored in insured vaults.

    Key Features:

    • 1 $LVT = 0.16g of gold

    • Tradeable and redeemable via DeFi infrastructure

    • Enables cross-chain liquidity and potential integration with DeFi yield mechanisms

    • Fully backed by on-chain verified reserves and redeemable into PAXG

    Lumi Pool – Liquidity & Interoperability

    Lumi Pool is a purpose-built liquidity pool mechanism that enhances the trading and utility of gold-backed assets. It enables users to provide liquidity in return for:

    • LP rewards

    • Optional staking incentives (when applicable)

    This pool infrastructure ensures that $LVT tokens remain liquid, accessible, and yield-generating across decentralized ecosystems.

    Lumi Bridge powers cross-chain interoperability, enabling seamless transfer of $LVT and other tokenized assets across:

    • Ethereum Layer 2 (e.g. Arbitrum, Optimism)

    • Binance Smart Chain (BSC)

    • Solana

    • Polkadot

    This results in a frictionless, multi-chain trading experience, expanding market access and usability while lowering fees and settlement delays.

    Tokenomics

    Token Distribution System and Emission Model

    LumiVault adopts a real-asset-based token allocation structure to ensure stability, transparency, and long-term value for $LVT holders. With a total supply of 500 million tokens, the model emphasizes gold backing and direct redemption mechanisms over inflationary staking systems.


    Token Distribution System & Emission Model

    LumiVault departs from traditional staking-based token emissions in favor of a real-asset redemption model, aligning value with physical gold rather than inflationary token rewards.

    Redemption-Driven Utility

    Instead of emitting new tokens for yield, LumiVault enables users to redeem $LVT tokens for Paxos Gold ($PAXG)—a fully regulated and gold-backed digital asset.

    • Users holding 1,000 $LVT or more gain access to redeem their tokens directly into PAXG.

    • $PAXG is redeemable for physical gold and backed by audited, vaulted reserves.

    • This model ensures scarcity, stability, and real-world value, offering investors a tangible asset link without diluting token supply.

    🛠️ Distribution Logic

    • No staking emissions or inflationary mechanics exist.

    • All tokens in circulation originate from the pre-defined allocation structure (see Tokenomics).

    • Liquidity provisioning and exchange listing allocations (10%) are strategically deployed to support initial trading environments.

    • As users accumulate $LVT through direct purchases or secondary market activity, redemption eligibility scales with holdings, incentivizing long-term participation and holding behavior.

    Controlled Circulation, No Inflation

    • Fixed supply: 500,000,000 $LVT

    • No additional token minting or emissions

    • Distribution is utility-driven, based on participation and gold claim rights—not yield farming

    Token Launch Strategy

    TGE Event, Sales Platform, and Listing Strategy

    The LumiVault ($LVT) public sale will be conducted through Fjord Foundry, a leading decentralized launch platform specializing in curated, fair-access events. By leveraging Fjord’s transparent and decentralized environment, LumiVault ensures an open and equitable opportunity for early supporters to participate in the ecosystem.

    Following the successful Token Generation Event (TGE), $LVT will be rapidly deployed across both centralized and decentralized exchanges to maximize liquidity and user access.

    This synchronized strategy — combining decentralized launch, early liquidity pools, and rapid CEX access — is designed to:

    • Maximize initial price discovery and trading efficiency,

    • Establish strong liquidity from Day 1,

    • Build early momentum across both retail and institutional channels.


    📈 Token Emission Control Model

    LumiVault’s token release model is structured to prioritize sustainable growth, protect market dynamics, and reward long-term participants.

    Emission Mechanisms:

    • Team and Advisor Allocations: Subject to cliff periods and multi-year vesting schedules, minimizing sell pressure.

    • Redemption-Based Burning:

      • As users redeem $LVT for physical gold, redeemed tokens are permanently burned, progressively reducing circulating supply and supporting intrinsic token value.

    This structured emission system aligns the interests of all stakeholders — ensuring that ecosystem growth, price stability, and long-term sustainability are fundamental to the evolution of LumiVault.

    Reserve Pool Transparency & Real-Time Proof

    Real-Time Gold Reserve Architecture

    In addition to its primary on-chain token economy, LumiVault maintains a dedicated gold reserve system backed exclusively by Paxos Gold ($PAXG) — a fully regulated, gold-pegged asset representing one fine troy ounce of physical gold.

    All proceeds from token redemptions, internal treasury operations, and gold production are systematically converted into $PAXG. This model ensures that the ecosystem maintains full gold equivalency at all times, aligning with the project's asset-backed philosophy.

    PAXG serves as the sole reserve asset, acting as both a redemption medium and a liquidity anchor.


    Transparent Reserve Monitoring

    LumiVault integrates real-time reserve tracking directly within its Dapp. Users will be able to:

    • View the current $PAXG reserve balance • Monitor inflows from treasury operations and mined gold conversions • Verify on-chain reserve updates with transparent smart contract hooks

    This system provides verifiable proof of reserve at all times, setting a transparency standard for real-world asset (RWA) backed protocols in DeFi.


    Why It Matters

    By anchoring reserves solely in $PAXG, LumiVault eliminates volatility risks associated with mixed-asset pools and offers users clean, auditable access to physical gold value -without dilution or opacity.

    This focused reserve model supports both redemption and long-term token integrity, ensuring that every $LVT circulating in the market remains probably tied to real-world gold.

    Security & Risk Management

    LumiVault is built with a security-first architecture, combining smart contract resilience, real-time reserve verification, and regulatory compliance to protect users and ensure institutional-grade integrity in gold-backed DeFi.


    Smart Contract Protections

    LumiVault’s smart contracts — deployed on Ethereum Layer 2 — are engineered with multiple security layers to eliminate vulnerabilities and unauthorized control:

    • Multi-signature Admin Controls: Minting, burning, and gold reserve updates require approval from multiple trusted parties.

    • Immutable Mint/Burn Logic: Smart contracts enforce strict 1:1 PAXG backing. Over-minting or inflation is not possible.

    • No Staking or Reward Logic: The protocol avoids slashing risks, lock-ins, or gamified incentives. Instead, tokens serve as real-asset claims redeemable via $PAXG.


    Reserve Proof & Transparency

    • Real-time On-Chain Proof-of-Reserve (PoR): Reserves are tracked and published in real time through decentralized oracles, fully integrated into the Dapp.

    • Physical Gold in Custody: Backing reserves are stored in insured, multi-signature vaults and tokenized via Paxos Gold (PAXG).

    • Third-party Audits: All smart contracts undergo independent audits before mainnet launch. Reserve audits and Proof-of-Audit (PoA) records are uploaded on-chain for full transparency.


    Regulatory Compliance

    LumiVault enforces robust compliance standards to meet global regulatory expectations:

    • KYC/AML: Required for large-scale and institutional users to prevent misuse and illicit finance.

    • Regulatory Readiness: LumiVault operates with a future-proof framework to support potential licensing and institutional onboarding.


    Summary

    LumiVault sets a new benchmark in tokenized real-world asset (RWA) security by eliminating staking risk, maintaining full transparency of reserves, and enforcing gold-backed issuance only. Its secure, compliant, and real-asset-anchored architecture ensures $LVT remains a trustworthy digital instrument for both retail and institutional participants.

    🌍 Future Expansion of $LVT: Multi-Asset Reserve Integration

    🔎 Overview

    LumiVault is designed as a dynamic, forward-compatible protocol. While its foundation is built on 80 tonnes of audited gold reserves, LumiVault is strategically expanding into additional verified gold mines and high-value mineral reserves — including tungsten, lithium, and molybdenum. 🪙 This expansion is implemented without increasing the total $LVT supply, thereby preserving token scarcity and reinforcing long-term value for holders.


    ⚖️ Expansion Logic & Peg Integrity

    Each $LVT token represents a fractionalized claim to LumiVault’s verifiable reserve base. As verified reserves grow, the intrinsic value per token increases accordingly — creating a form of deflationary pressure that rewards long-term commitment and strengthens overall token economics.

    📐 Expansion Backing Formula:


    🌐 Multi-Asset Expansion Strategy

    LumiVault is actively negotiating additional mining rights across Asia and Africa to expand its reserve portfolio. All new assets will be onboarded through a rigorous validation pipeline:

    • Legal verification of asset ownership

    • Independent geological assessments & reporting

    • On-chain Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) integration via oracles

    🪨 Reserve Base Expansion (Projected Assets)

    • 🟡 Gold (scaling from current 80T → up to 2,000T)

    • ⚫ Tungsten

    • ⚪ Molybdenum

    • 🔋 Lithium

    Each asset class will be individually certified, uploaded to the PoR Dashboard, and made publicly auditable — ensuring on-chain transparency and real-world accountability.


    🚫 No Token Inflation Model

    To preserve the monetary integrity of $LVT, LumiVault enforces a fixed token supply, regardless of reserve growth.

    • Reserve expansion increases intrinsic token value

    • Redemption remains gold-pegged (via trusted assets like PAXG)

    • Treasury operations handle onboarding costs, balancing liquidity and utility

    This model protects holders from dilution while unlocking long-term upside through reserve growth.

  • Launch off-chain redemption queue system to support 1:1 swaps (with minimum threshold)

  • Begin implementing Proof-of-Delivery tracking tied to redemption logs

  • Publish quarterly gold reserve reports and miner production disclosures

  • $LVT Tokenomics & Utility

    Tokenomics & Utility

    The $LVT token serves as LumiVault’s on-chain gateway to real-world gold ownership, providing fractional digital exposure to a verified 80-tonne gold reserve. Each token represents 0.16 grams of gold, tied transparently to physical inventory via licensed mining rights and authenticated through a decentralized Proof-of-Reserve (PoR) mechanism.

    Unlike conventional token models based on staking yields or inflation-driven emissions, $LVT derives its core utility from redeemability and intrinsic value:

    • Holders with balances over 1,000 $LVT can redeem their tokens for PAXG, a fully regulated, gold-pegged asset backed by gold stored in insured vaults in New York.

    • Upon redemption, the corresponding amount of $LVT is permanently burned, introducing a deflationary mechanic that supports long-term token value.

    To ensure full transparency and accountability, LumiVault provides a dedicated PoR dashboard, offering real-time data on:

    • On-chain gold reserve levels

    • Token supply and reserve parity

    • Verification of licensed mining rights

    All tokens in circulation are strictly governed by a burn-and-release model, ensuring that $LVT issuance always matches the underlying collateral — with no risk of over-minting or inflation.

    In addition, $LVT is designed for seamless integration into decentralized finance ecosystems:

    • Programmable and composable across smart contract protocols

    • Globally accessible without intermediaries

    • Cross-chain operability for broader liquidity reach

    By tokenizing physical mining rights into a liquid and auditable asset, LumiVault empowers users to securely access and trade real gold on-chain — establishing a new standard for digital asset ownership in the Web3 era.


    Vesting & Emission Model (Aligned with Allocation)

    Unlike conventional tokenomics models that depend on artificial supply locks and vesting mechanics, LumiVault’s $LVT token economy is built on real-world collateral and transparent access.

    70% of all $LVT tokens are fully backed and redeemable, representing on-chain claims against LumiVault’s physical gold reserves — currently totaling 80 tonnes. These tokens are circulating and fully liquid, allowing users to redeem gold at any time through $PAXG, without any lock-up.

    Rather than emitting tokens based on inflationary rewards, LumiVault issues tokens in direct response to user demand, tightly bound to the audited gold inventory. This ensures that no excess tokens are ever introduced into the system.

    There is no staking APY or speculative token farming. Instead, utility comes from the right to redeem real gold, providing built-in scarcity, price stability, and tangible asset exposure.

    Through this structure, LumiVault ensures a liquid, transparent, and gold-anchored digital asset, accessible globally via a secure Web3 interface.
