Tokenized Gold (TGLD) Documentation

in LeoFinance2 days ago

Tokenized Gold (TGLD) is a new synthetic Real-World Asset (RWA) launched by LeoStrategy. Tokenized Gold (TGLD) is correlated to 1/100th of a GLD share.

Currently, 1 SPDR GLD share is trading for $376. This means 1 TGLD is worth $3.76.

If SPDR GLD goes up 10%, TGLD will go up 10% and vice versa. TGLD tracks in direct correlation to GLD.

This blog post will serve as the official, onchain documentation for Tokenized Gold (TGLD) by LeoStrategy. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop a comment below or tag us on Threads or X at any time.

TGLD's Preasle is NOW LIVE for 7 Days Only. Once the presale is sold out (or 7 days is reached, whichever comes first), then the presale is DONE.

  • What is TGLD?

A synthetic, on-chain version of 1/100 SPDR GLD, with daily yield.

  • Why not physical gold?

GLD has deep liquidity, real-time pricing, and an options chain — essential for peg stability and SRWA modeling.

  • How does the peg work?

Weekly policy rate adjusts APR based on GLD↔TGLD correlation and deviation.
Good peg = lower APR. Weak peg = higher APR.

  • How do I earn yield?

TGLD pays daily yield (3%–20%+) depending on the peg. Early buyers can lock permanent APR boosts.

  • HE Presale Boosts:

Stake during presale → lock +3% to +12% APR forever (until unstake).

  • Base Presale Boosts:

Add LP within 48 hours after launch → +10% APR on that LP until removed.

  • Social Rewards:

Presale milestones unlock extra TGLD for all buyers.

  • Backed by:

LeoStrategy treasury, market makers, cross-chain arbitrage, and transparent peg policy.

  • Transparency:

Hourly on-chain updates from @tgld.yield — price, correlation, APR, liquidity, peg status.

  • Who is TGLD for?

Income-focused holders who want:
• Gold stability
• Daily yield
• Full transparency
• Long-term, policy-driven compounding

1. What is TGLD?

TGLD is a synthetic representation of the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) ETF, mirroring 1/100 of a GLD share.

It tracks GLD through:

  • An adaptive monetary policy system
  • A transparent peg architecture
  • Cross-chain liquidity (Base + Hive)
  • Daily yield distributions

TGLD brings the safety of gold exposure to crypto — with income added.

2. The Core Value Proposition

Traditional GLD gives stability but zero yield. TGLD upgrades this into:

  • GLD exposure
  • Daily passive income
  • Additive APR boosts (permanent for early buyers)
  • On-chain transparency
  • Deep liquidity on both Base and Hive
  • Holder-aligned incentives

TGLD is GLD — built for the on-chain world.

3. The Policy Rate System

Every detail below remains identical to the TTSLA policy framework as both utilize the breakthrough innovation of LeoStrategy's RWA Launchpad.

Every Monday, the system runs a policy meeting to set TGLD’s next 7-day public APR.

Inputs include:

  • 3-Day Moving Average correlation between GLD price and TGLD price

If the 3-Day Moving Average correlation drops below key thresholds, then the peg policy will increase the interest rate for HODLing (yield to HODLers) based on the table below.

ELI5:

  • If TGLD tracks GLD well → APR decreases
  • If TGLD drifts off peg → APR increases

Yield = peg stability mechanism.


3A. Peg Policy Framework (Same Model Used for TTSLA)

Both TGLD and TTSLA work on our Peg Policy framework for Tokenized RWAs. You'll recognize this table from the TTSLA Docs because the peg policy framework is exactly the same.

Peg Policy Framework Table (Identical to TTSLA)

Deviation BandGLD-Implied TGLD Price RangeBase APRRate ActionLock IncentivesEffective Max APRPolicy Signal
0% to –2.5%Normal peg band3.0%3.0%Normal band — no action
–2.5% to –5.0%Mild deviation3.0%+200 bps5.0%Gentle incentive

Below –17.5%Extreme peg break3.0%Additional hikes at discretionSame as above>20.0%Emergency mode
Above PegPrice above expected GLD ratio3.0%No APR change, supply issued at discretion3.0%Controlled issuance

How to Interpret the Table

  • High correlation + low deviation → APR stays low (system is healthy).
  • Falling correlation or widening deviation → APR rises (pulls buyers in).
  • Severe peg pressure → APR spikes to restore alignment.

This creates a self-balancing yield engine identical to the proven TTSLA mechanism.

4. Daily Yield Mechanics

TGLD pays yield every 24 hours directly to holders.

  • Public APR adjusts weekly
  • Presale Additive boosts stack on top of public APR
  • Yield compounds automatically
  • Fully on-chain and visible
  • Designed to reward long-term holders

APR range: 3%–25% (depending on peg conditions), depending on peg behavior.

5. Peg Mechanics (1 TGLD = 1/100 GLD Share)

Peg stability is maintained through:

1. Cross-chain liquidity pools

  • TGLD/USDC on Base
  • TGLD/LEO on Hive-Engine

2. Policy APR incentives

Higher deviation = higher APR, pulling buyers back in.

3. Arbitrage

Cross-chain bots consistently enforce pricing symmetry.

4. Market Makers

Support liquidity, price bands, and peg momentum.

This produces a self-correcting peg anchored to GLD, reinforced by liquidity depth, arbitrage, market makers, and the weekly policy rate.

6. TGLD Yield Profile

TGLD uses the same income-maximization system as TTSLA.

  • Long GLD exposure
  • Daily yield (policy-driven premium)
  • Smooth income profile
  • Earn Your Yield in USDC, HBD or Autocompounded TGLD

Ideal for defensive, income-oriented investors.

7. Transparency Engine

TGLD publishes hourly, on-chain data through the @tgld.yield account on INLEO (same as the onchain TTSLA Agent):

  • GLD price
  • TGLD price
  • Peg deviation (correlation)
  • Liquidity depth
  • Current APR
  • Volume + TVL
  • 3D Moving Average correlation
  • Expected Next Rate Policy

TGLD is far more transparent than PAXG, XAUt, or CEX-backed gold products. We pride ourselves on being fully onchain and transparent. You can check the LEO-reserves backing TGLD at any time and you can also see the hourly onchain agent posting about the GLD, TGLD prices and correlation information. Every piece of relevant info is right at your finger tips at all times.

8. Why TGLD Exists

Gold-backed tokens today suffer from:

  • No yield
  • Poor liquidity
  • Weak transparency
  • Peg slippage
  • Centralized custody
  • Non-incentivized holders

TGLD solves this with:

  • Daily income
  • Policy-based peg stabilization
  • Permanent APR boosts for early participation
  • On-chain transparency
  • Deep cross-chain liquidity
  • Market-maker support

TGLD = GLD exposure with yield + transparency + liquidity.

9. Why We Use SPDR GLD Instead of Physical Gold

TGLD mirrors the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) ETF rather than physical gold or spot-ounce pricing for several strategic reasons that directly support the LeoStrategy Synthetic RWA architecture:

1. GLD Has a Deep, Liquid Market

GLD is one of the most traded ETFs in the world, with:

  • Massive daily volume
  • Tight spreads
  • Reliable institutional participation
  • Robust price discovery

This liquidity ensures TGLD’s peg remains stable and easy to arbitrage.

2. GLD Has an Options Chain (Critical for SRWA Modeling)

Physical gold does not have a native options market.

GLD does.

An active options chain allows:

  • Volatility modeling
  • Implied rate calculations
  • Synthetic covered-calls
  • Risk-premium analysis
  • Peg alignment with market microstructure

TGLD depends on these mechanics to maintain policy-driven yield.

3. Real-Time, Regulated, Exchange-Based Pricing

GLD provides:

  • Continuous price updates
  • Institutional-grade NAV reporting
  • Tight linkage to gold custodied by HSBC
  • Strong regulatory oversight

This eliminates issues found in physical gold feeds:

  • Delays
  • Fragmented spot markets
  • Regional pricing differences
  • Manipulated offshore feeds

4. Simpler, Cleaner Arbitrage Windows

GLD’s centralized price discovery makes cross-chain arbitrage easier:

  • One canonical reference price
  • No disputes between spot exchanges
  • No FX complications
  • No derivatives slippage

This keeps TGLD’s peg efficient.

5. GLD Aligns Perfectly With LeoStrategy’s RWA Thesis

Our SRWA products require:

  • Real-time feeds
  • Volatility surfaces
  • Options-derived risk pricing
  • Transparent NAV anchors
  • Heavy liquidity

GLD checks every box.
Physical gold does not.


10. How TGLD Differs From TTSLA

While both assets use the same Synthetic RWA (SRWA) engine, they serve different roles:

FeatureTGLDTTSLA
UnderlyingSPDR GLD (gold)Tesla (TSLA)
VolatilityLowHigh
Yield BehaviorSmooth, defensiveHigher swings, growth-oriented
Peg StabilityEasier to maintainMore dynamic
Ideal ForRisk-off, income-focused holdersGrowth + income investors
Policy ModelSame frameworkSame framework

TGLD is designed to be the defensive, stable-income layer of the SRWA stack.


11. How TGLD Can Be Used in DeFi

TGLD is built to last — engineered for a tokenized future where synthetic RWAs become foundational liquidity and collateral assets.

Future DeFi integrations may include:

  • Collateral for lending markets
  • Liquidity layer for synthetic trading pairs
  • Structured gold baskets
  • Yield vault strategies
  • Cross‑chain liquidity routing
  • Institutional-grade on-chain settlement

TGLD is intentionally built as a durable yield-bearing store of value designed to plug into the expanding on‑chain financial stack.


12. TGLD Launch Timeline & Checklist

Presale Start: November 17th

Presale End: November 24th (7 days)

HE Staking Boosts: Locked based on the day staked (Days 1–7)

Base LP Window: Opens immediately at presale end (Day 7), stays open for 48 hours

****Yield Activation:** November 19th (48 hours after presale start), with APR adjustments beginning at the first policy meeting

First Policy Meeting: Monday, November 24th

First Dashboard Update: Monday, November 24th

This timeline ensures progressive incentives, smooth liquidity formation, and continuous transparency from launch onward.


13. LeoStrategy Treasury & Backing & Backing

TGLD is part of the LeoStrategy Synthetic RWA framework:

  • Treasury permanently stakes LEO (sLEO) on LeoDex
  • Market makers operate across chains, generating daily profits
  • Liquidity incentives enhance peg efficiency
  • Cross-chain arbitrage profits reinforce system health by buying additional LEO and further over-collateralizing the asset stack
  • TGLD joins TTSLA, SURGE, LSTR, and future RWAs

TGLD strengthens the overall LEO ecosystem by strengthening LeoStrategy's vertical stack of profitable assets.

14. Risk Profile

TGLD offers synthetic RWA exposure to Gold by pegging itself 1:100 with the GLD price. This gives us unique advantages which have been outlined extensively in these docs. The LeoStrategy RWA model has a few risks:

  • GLD:TGLD's 1:100 peg is based on policy rate, not redemptions -> this means that the peg is governed by the market and can have short-term deviations. It is designed to correlate in long timeframes
  • TGLD is not redeemable for GLD. It is a policy-pegged asset. It does however have a liquidation preference next to TTSLA in LeoStrategy's asset stack. The liquidation preference is set exactly at 1:100 GLD:TGLD. So if you hold 1 TGLD and GLD is trading for $375: An unlikely dissolution event for LeoStrategy will result in you being paid $3.75 for that 1 TGLD
  • LeoStrategy operates RWAs on a "LEO Standard," meaning each asset is over-collateralized by permanently staked LEO and reinforced via market maker profits and arbitrage flows this means that we use LEO to collateralize and back all LeoStrategy products. We expect LEO to grow in price by over 100% per year for the next 10 years. If you do not share this belief, then products like TGLD might seem risky to you as they are backed by the value of LEO on our balance sheet. While we over-collateralize each asset, this may not be enough for someone who does not see the value of LEO over a 10-year time horizon (similar to how buyers of Microstrategy's preferred stock offerings must have some level of belief in the BTC that backs each preferred stock)

TGLD is a uniquely positioned synthetic RWA. It has a lot of strengths when it comes to the peg policy framework and flexibility needed for LeoStrategy to operate under our simple thesis: act as a permanent capital vehicle to acquire LEO and permanently stake it.

18. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What does TGLD actually track?

TGLD mirrors 1/100 of a SPDR GLD share, not physical gold or ounces. This gives TGLD institutional-grade liquidity, real-time pricing, and an options chain to support the peg.

2. How does TGLD maintain its peg to GLD?

TGLD uses a policy-driven APR system identical to TTSLA. When deviation increases, APR rises to incentivize buying; when the peg is tight, APR falls.

3. Does TGLD pay yield?

Yes. TGLD pays daily yield based on a weekly policy rate. Early presale buyers can lock in additive APR boosts.

4. What happens if correlation between GLD and TGLD drops?

APR increases automatically according to the Peg Policy Framework, encouraging the market to close the gap and restore alignment.

5. Is TGLD redeemable for physical gold?

No. TGLD is a policy-pegged synthetic RWA, not a redemption-based token. However, it has a liquidation preference equal to its GLD ratio.

6. How do I earn boosted APR on Hive-Engine (HE)?

Stake during the presale. Boost depends on the day you stake. Unstaking any amount permanently removes the boost.

7. How do I earn boosted APR on Base?

If you buy presale on Base and add LP within 48 hours of launch, you lock a +10% APR boost on that LP until you remove it.

8. Can I lose my boost?

Yes.

  • On HE: Unstaking any amount removes all boosts.
  • On Base: Removing any LP removes the LP boost.

9. What backs TGLD?

TGLD is supported by the LeoStrategy treasury (permanently staked LEO), market-making operations, cross-chain arbitrage, and the policy framework that maintains peg stability.

10. What makes TGLD different from PAXG or other gold tokens?

TGLD offers:

  • Daily yield
  • Permanent presale boosts
  • Transparent peg policy
  • Hourly on-chain data
  • Cross-chain liquidity incentives
    No other gold-backed asset combines income + transparency + peg mechanics like this.

Extremely Limited Presale (7 Days and Only 29,500 TGLD)
