Charles Cascarilla is the founder and chief executive officer of both Paxos Standard and Pax Gold. Cascarilla has an extensive career in capital management, which is what led him to explore the vast possibilities cryptocurrencies offer.

After acquiring a degree in finance from the University of Notre Dame, he co-founded Cedar Hill Capital Partners in 2005. This was the start of his career in finance and capital management. Since 2005, Mr. Cascarilla has participated in several traditional and blockchain-based venture capital projects.

With a growing number of ERC-20 tokens available for purchase, Pax Gold stands out because it is backed by an already established commodity. One of the main goals for Pax Gold is to make investing in gold more accessible.

The official whitepaper states that “more than USD 3.5 trillion of the total gold available today is used solely for investment purposes;” however, a large portion of it is unavailable to small-time investors. This is where Pax Gold comes into play. Each PAXG token is backed by a fraction of a piece of London Good Delivery gold bar, stored in Brink’s gold vaults, which is the approved storage company by the London Bullion Market Association.

Through combining the security and liquidity offered by blockchain-based cryptocurrency, and the established name of gold as a physical commodity, Pax Gold brings a new investment opportunity to traders. PAXG has inspired other cryptocurrency developers to create gold-backed tokens as well.

Pax Gold tokens have a one to one ratio with the gold storage backing it. This means that there is a PAXG coin for each ounce of gold in rotation covered by the Pax Gold protocol. In this sense, the amount of PAXG tokens in circulation changes frequently.

At the moment of writing, there are about 60,161 PAXG coins in circulation. However, the number of coins shifts almost by the minute as new investors are introduced, and Pax Gold increases the available gold supply for backing.

In the official whitepaper, Pax Gold CEO Charles Cascarilla explains that the PAXG protocol is created entirely on the Ethereum blockchain and is secured by the proof-of-work (PoW) model. However, PAXG is not exclusively tied to Ethereum and can be launched on other blockchains as well.

Proof-of-work protocols represent a classic approach to cryptocurrency mining, Bitcoin being the most prominent example. Ethereum has, however, recently begun its transition to the proof-of-stake (PoS) model, aiming to reduce the resources necessary for token mining, among other things.
