The Protocol

A new economy built on
gold you don’t have to mine

01 nGRND Inc. is a land management and sustainability company. The company (nGRND Inc.) holds exclusive agreements to acquire and purchase proven in-ground gold resources plus obtain exclusive long-term rights (30 to 100 years) to develop the value from alternative land use monetisation.
02 The purchase by nGRND inc. of verified proven gold resources and keeping it ‘in-situ’, in the ground, creating Preserved Gold. nGRND Inc. secure their purchased gold resources to a digital custodian creating “Preserved Gold” with immutable provenance including the transfer of the gold to the nGRND Gold Protocol treasury.
03 Long-term alternative land use monetisation (30 to 100 years) The surface above each preserved site is monetised for biodiversity restoration, rehabilitated waste (including rehabilitated gold from tailings), afforestation, regenerative farming, renewable energy generation, sustainable data centres, and many other approved long-cycle ESG and SDG aligned use cases, based on the feasibility studies of the preserved sites.
04 nGRND Gold Protocol distributes the value. The protocol is the blockchain layer. It is where: the gold is distributed to the Treasury on-chain; the value from above-ground activity flows to token holders through staking pools; token holders participate, earn, and govern.
05 Token holders participate, earn, and govern. Token holders vote on what happens to the gold treasury (stake it, sell it, deploy it, buy back tokens with it), on protocol parameters, on reward weights, and on the major decisions that shape the network.

The Treasury Strategy

Preserved Gold in treasury.
Real-world revenues underneath.

For every 35,000 nGRND Gold Protocol Tokens, at least 1 ounce of Preserved Gold acquired by nGRND Inc. will be purchased by the nGRND Gold Protocol and held in the Protocol Treasury, secured by an independent digital custodian
Every ounce of Preserved Gold avoids an estimated 792kg of CO₂ entering the environment
Staking rewards will be sustained in the long term by nGRND revenues, including the monetisation of preserved Sites and any realised appreciation in the value of the Preserved Gold in the Treasury
The avoided emissions, detrimental water and chemical use, land disturbance, biodiversity and socioeconomic losses can become measurable, verified carbon credits under approved methodologies
A typical site can generate millions of dollars per year for 30 to 100 years from multiple projects, and that value scales as the projects grow and as the company adds new sites to its portfolio
Token holders vote on what happens to the gold treasury (stake it, sell it, deploy it, buy back tokens with it), on protocol parameters, on reward weights, and on the major decisions that shape the network.

Sustainable by design

AVOIDED MINING · PRESERVED GOLD · ALTERNATIVE LAND USE

We don't own mines. We don't extract. We work with miners and gold landholders to keep proven gold resources underground, and through avoided mining we monetise long-term sustainable opportunities of the land and avoid detrimental socioeconomic and environmental impact.

Why Now

nGRND Gold Protocol
Treasury

Already Valued

Mining companies trade on in-ground reserves

Exposure to gold appreciation through the Gold Protocol's Treasury. As the price of gold appreciates over time, the treasury appreciates with it.

Already Verified

NI 43-101 / JORC compliant reporting

Currently 600,000 ounces of gold are secured under long-term agreements, with millions of ounces in active pipeline discussions.

Already Monetisable

Avoided mining and land use create new revenue logic

By choosing not to extract gold, we do not leave the land idle. Instead, we activate each preserved site through a multi-layered ecosystem of monetised sustainability projects.

Now Tokenisable

Digital custody and protocol rails make this scalable

Operates two Treasuries: a Preserved Gold treasury (designed to support token value, governed by token holders) and a token treasury (the protocol's own utility token holdings, governed by the white paper).
