Alluvial Gold Unit Token Program
The Alluvial Gold Unit (AGU) token bridges the security of traditional gold investing with the utility and sophistication of blockchain
Catch early-bird access to grams of gold in gold-bearing material at discounts as deep as 50%!
Top Producer
Upholding the highest operational, regulatory, environmental, ethical, traceability, and purity standards—in addition to being the world’s fifth largest gold producer—the US is the AGU Token Program’s administrative and financial headquarters.
Precision
Increasingly precise surveying, analytics, and extraction is boosting the precision and efficiency of gold production. This means that validated geological surveys provide viable metrics for effective tokenization.
Unitizable
Modern gold mining is sufficiently exacting to ascribe fractional ownership to gold-bearing assets. Each AGU token holds title to one pure (24 karat) gram of gold.
Gainful
Alluvial Gold Unit (AGU) tokens secure ownership of gold-bearing assets organically escalate up the production chain to the ultimate pure physical gold bullion and coins that can be staked for significant ongoing gain.

Your Questions Answered
Investing in a tokenized asset can raise questions. Alluvial Gold Unit LLC is committed to transparency and providing clarity to help investors and fund managers make informed decisions. Here are the most common inquiries we receive.
The AGU Token Program is designed to benefit mines and gold investors. On the supply side, proceeds from the sale of AGU tokens finance the expansion and acceleration of independent gold mining and processing operations. On the demand side, the Program offers fractional ownership of gold-bearing assets from well-managed and incisively surveyed and validated mines. The Stellar ISO 20022-compliant blockchain technology is used to ensure secure, quick and transparent transactions.
AGU tokens are directly backed by physical gold assets, embodied within reserves, tailings, processed, and pure, refined gold, ensuring a 1:1 correspondence with gold in reserves (deposits) or tailings (slag) at the mines, or in processed Doré bars or refined pure gold bullion and coins, which are held within the custody of refineries and secure storage facilities around the world.
The AGU token series encompasses ownership of a one pure gram of gold’s worth of gold-bearing assets in the four stages of gold production, and hence purchase value, as follows:
- AGU1 tokens represent fractional ownership of refined pure gold bullion and coins, which are held within the custody of refineries and secure storage facilities around the world.-worth of gold in-ground gold reserves (sold at LBMA spot price minus 50%)
- AGU2 tokens represent fractional ownership of a one pure gram of gold’s worth of gold in excavated tailings (sold at LBMA spot price minus 25%)
- AGU3 tokens represents one pure gram of gold as a fraction of the gold physical Doré bar which—until refined and graduated into pure gold coins or collected by holders redeeming the applicable number of tokens—remains in secure storage, USA (sold at LBMA spot price minus 5%)
- AGU4 tokens represents a physical one gram of 24-karat gold embodied within pure gold bullion bars or coins which, until or unless collected by the token holder remains in secure storage in one of several reputed custodian facilities, USA (sold at LBMA spot price stake-able for a 6.5% semi-annual yield)
The Stellar blockchain, chosen for its efficiency, low transaction costs, and ISO 20022 compliance, underpins the AGU Token Program.
AGU tokens are distinguished by their regulatory compliance, third-party audits, and secure custodianship in bonded warehouses, offering escalating valorization mechanism, transparency, speed of transaction, and traceability that many competitive tokens lack.
Yes, the program adheres to US securities regulations and international ISO 20022 standards, with fiduciary oversight provided by registered fund management company, Ancore LLC.
Anyone who registers and is cleared through the standard onboarding (KYC and AML) process can purchase AGU tokens, except for the limitation in the US to accredited investors. The pre-sale of over 18.8 million AGU2, AGU3 and AGU4 tokens is through private placement by invitation only. Invitation may be requested by emailing the Managers info@alluvialgold.us
Investor security is ensured through:
- Encryption and stringent blockchain security mechanism in the Stellar blockchain
- Regular independent verifications of physical gold reserves and audits of assets and token inventories.
- Secure storage of physical gold units in a Nevada-based vault managed by a reputable custodian bank.
- Rigorous Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols.
The AGU Token Program actively monitors and, as necessary, adapts to regulatory developments to maintain compliance. Registered token holders will be informed of any material changes that are required to be made.
The private pre-sale of almost 19 million AGU2, AGU3 and AGU4 tokens is to offer first adopters a first option to secure AGU tokens through the familiar private placement mechanism. info[at]alluvialgold[dot]us
Funds from the sale of AGU tokens are allocated to:
- Settling payment for purchased gold assets
- Expanding and accelerating independent gold mining and processing operations.
- Maintenance and enhancement of the tokenization infrastructure.
- Secure auditing storage and custodian service for the physical and digital assets.
Early investors may benefit from preferential price discounts in the early-stage AGU1, AGU2 and AGU3 tokens. Ownership in these tokens includesautomatic trading up on a first-in/first-out basis into the next-higher token value phase, when gold assets inventory become available, on a one-for-one basis. For example, AGU2 owners have the option to trade their AGU2 tokens for AGU3 tokens on a first-come/first-served par basis for 48 hours prior to release of the AGU3 tokens to the open market. This means that holders of lower-ranked tokens will benefit from an organic escalation in repurchase value of their tokens over the middle and long term. Holders of AGU4 tokens are able to stake their tokens to receive a loyalty reward of 6.5% of their holdings on a semi-annual basis.
Token value reflects the intrinsic value of one pure gram of gold’s worth of gold assets backing the tokens as determined by the second daily fix of the LBMA spot price.
Yes, AGU3 and AGU4 tokens can be redeemed for physical gold, for Doré bars in exchange for the applicable number of AGU3 tokens and pure (24-karat) gold bullion bars or coins in exchange for the applicable number of AGU4 tokens.
AGU tokens are designed for liquidity and can be bought and sold on the DAMREV Stellar environment and will be listed on additional compliant token exchanges over time, to bring increasing liquidity and provide more flexible trading, staking and exit options.
- Integration with Stellar’s ecosystem.
- Significant investor demand for gold instruments.
- Partnerships with compliant and reputable token exchanges.

AGU Token Lifecycle: From Earth to Your Pocket
AGU Token Program is designed to finance accelerated extraction and production of massive across America gold deposits in participating mines across America. Verified gold-bearing materials from the mines are fractionalized into one gram units of pure gold and offered for purchase as tokens in a progression of production states of increasing value:
- AGU1 tokens own in-ground deposits of gold-bearing earth,
- AGU2 tokens own a volume of on-ground mine tailings or slag,
- AGU3 tokens own fractions of a poured Doré bar, and
- AGU4 tokens each own a single gram of pure 24-karat gold.
The availability of AGU series tokens directly reflects the inventory of gold-bearing assets. As the inventory escalates up the production chain, holders of the lower AGU tokens benefit from their tokens being automatically traded up into trade up to the next-higher AGU token of greater value on a one-for-one basis until the AGU4 token which owns a pure gold coin.
