tSILVER (tXAG) is a silver-backed stablecoin on the Ethereum blockchain that is minted by a network of esteemed traders from the traditional precious metals market. Each tSILVER token is 1:1 collateralized by, and redeemable for 1 gram of 99.99% LBMA-accredited silver, stored in fully audited and insured vaults. 30% of the transaction fees generated by tSILVER are distributed to the holders of AurusX (AX).
What are the benefits of tSILVER?
tSILVER is a highly portable, transferable, and liquid digital asset. It has the advantages of physically allocated silver, but does not have the drawbacks of limited transportability or high storage costs usually associated with it. Instead, it has the divisibility, fungibility, and tradability of any digital asset like Bitcoin.
Free of recurring storage or management fees, tSILVER offers investors of any size a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional silver products, with the additional benefits of real-time 24/7 trading, cryptographically secure instant settlements, and fewer intermediaries.
What makes tSILVER Unique?
tSILVER was created with sustainability in mind. tSILVER tokens are independently minted by a global network of established precious metals refineries, vaults and traders that participate in the Aurus Ecosystem. Aurus’ decentralized approach to tokenization ensures that the company can never “touch” or influence the silver traded or vaulted, meaning investors are not subject to a single point of failure.
Aurus embraces the decentralized nature of blockchain: DeFi. Holders can (soon) earn a yield on their silver (tSILVER) holdings by providing liquidity to decentralized exchanges (DEX) trading pools. This, for the first time, positions silver as a productive, yield-bearing asset.
Where Can You Buy tSILVER?
tSILVER can be bought from various Aurus partnered exchanges and precious metals dealers, with multiple fiat and crypto trading pairs available. Visit the Aurus Marketplace.

Value proposition and the pain point that Aurus solves:
B2C - Previously, the only way to invest in gold involved buying from a bullion dealer for a premium and paying storage fees, or through an ETF. While ETFs provide price exposure, they do not represent ownership of physically allocated metals and cannot be redeemed. tGOLD is based on blockchain-based technology, which allows for many contrasting characteristics and makes gold accessible to a wider audience. The technology allows for: 24/7 trading; fiat/crypto exchange listings; peer-to-peer transfers; instantaneous settlement on all transactions. Aurus addresses various use cases; as a network of stable value transfer in the global payments market, as a reward-generating financial primitive in DeFi, and as a stablecoin in gaming.
B2B - Aurus doesn’t compete, it collaborates with traditional precious metals industry players, providing access to high-tech products, a huge addressable market, and passive revenues. Aurus empowers bullion dealers to offer a new and innovative digital product and execute frictionless instant settlements enabling them to expand into new market geographics and demographics, and access new recurring revenue streams (instead of one-off premiums).
