What gold you have matters

How we got to Solomon

Gold has always been the anchor when trust in fiat weakens, but most buyers still have to pick from tradeoffs: custody risk, low liquidity, premium drag, or weak on-chain utility. Solomon is built from that gap.

The goal is to keep the core strength of physical backing while adding modern liquidity rails and transparent on-chain mechanics designed for serious capital.

This section introduces each type of investor's unique concerns, and something they may not know about that is an expense or difficulty when adding gold exposure at scale.

Understanding Gold for Institutions

Institutions care about audited reserves, clear compliance posture, and dependable liquidity windows. Hidden costs usually appear in custody agreements, reconciliation overhead, and spread costs during stressed markets.

Understanding gold buys for VCs

Venture investors often seek non-correlated ballast but underestimate execution friction across chains, tax treatment complexity, and the staffing needed to monitor treasury policy in real time.

Understanding Gold for Wealthy Individuals

High-net-worth buyers usually prioritize capital preservation and inheritance clarity. Expenses they may miss include cross-border transport constraints, insurance terms, and liquidation timing when immediate cash is needed.

The new Gold Standard: Solomon

Designed for Venture Capital and High Net Worth.

SOLOMON is a gold-backed token (1 SOLOMON = 11.4 grams of physical gold) that bridges audited gold assets like PAXG and XAUT across 20+ blockchains using LayerZero and locked liquidity pools.

It earns revenue through a built-in 2% transfer tax on every trade. Arbitrage bots constantly interact with the locked pools to stabilize gold prices and capture volatility, generating steady volume from gold-to-gold, gold-to-crypto, and monopoly pricing on chains that previously lacked liquid gold options.

Partners who invest a minimum of $50k and sign a 3-year private agreement split 50% of the tax revenue proportionally to their shares (paid monthly to their wallet). The other 50% is reinvested into buybacks and market-making. All tokens and backing assets are permanently locked in CLMM pools, making the system rug-proof while remaining fully redeemable for gold. This delivers passive income (estimated 24-40%+ APY from the revenue share alone, based on the team's prior EASY token success) plus exposure to gold price appreciation.
