Since 2022, the BINGOLD team has been working on a token backed by 250 grams of gold. How does this fit with blockchain—and what's behind the promise of a "real asset?"
In 2022, amid rising inflation and distrust in fiat currencies, the startup BINGOLD began working on an unusual idea: turning physical gold into a digital token usable like a regular cryptocurrency. Each BIGOD token would represent 250 grams of gold stored in secure vaults.
The first step was the Aiiongold mobile app, launched in 2023 for iOS and Android. In 2024, the ability to purchase and manage digital gold through the app became available, as well as the introduction of systematic investments (SIPs)—daily, monthly, or quarterly purchases. This isn't hype. It's an attempt to integrate gold into everyday financial habits.
BIGOD is a BEP-20 token running on the BNB Chain. This offers low fees, compatibility with popular wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet), and access to DeFi protocols. You can:
But most importantly, the promised ability to verify collateral through the GoldOnBlockchain system: each token is supposedly pegged to a physical bar, and inventory data is available in real time.
In a world where cryptocurrency prices depend on tweets and sentiment, BIGOD offers a foothold in the physical world. Gold has served as a measure of value for centuries. BIGOD is attempting to combine this stability with the flexibility of blockchain:
This is especially relevant for countries with unstable currencies—from Argentina to Turkey—where people are looking for ways to preserve purchasing power.
The main challenge with any backed asset is trust in the storage and auditing. BIGOD claims that the gold is independently audited, but:
These details have not yet been publicly disclosed. Furthermore, the token has not yet been widely launched—the ICO is scheduled for 2025, and the exchange listing is not until the second quarter of 2026, and even then, "in accordance with the law." This means the project is still in the preparatory stage, not in the process of mass implementation.
If such projects prove reliable, they could transform not only investments but also international trade. Imagine companies paying with gold digitally, avoiding currency risks. Or a person in Africa receiving a salary in BIGOD, knowing its value won't vanish in a week.
The future of RWA isn't about copying old assets onto the blockchain, but about giving them a new lease of life: speed, transparency, and accessibility. BIGOD is one attempt to take this path. But success depends not on marketing, but on real verifiability.
BIGOD reminds us: technology doesn't replace physical reality. True value lies not in charts, but in what lies behind the code.
And if one day digital assets once again become synonymous with trust rather than speculation, perhaps it won't be an algorithm that's behind it, but 250 grams of gold in a vault.
