Who may buy, hold, transfer, and redeem
Each answer rests on the issuer’s own words, quoted from the document named under it. Ketju re-reads each document and records whether the words are still there. Where the documents say nothing, the row says so.
- What the holder owns
A right to redeem whole bars from GoldZip on its terms; the holder owns no gold and has no claim to the value of the bars GoldZip holds.

Who can change the record
Powers read from the deployed contracts and their verified source: the token and every contract it consults on transfer. A power recorded here is the issuer’s ability, not evidence it has been used.
| Chain | Freeze a holder | Pause | Claw back | Gate holders | Change the code | Keys held by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | A contract can pause transfers. |
Who holds the keys
Every current holder of each power, read from the chain on 2026-09-23. A single key is one private key: whoever holds it acts alone. A multisig needs the stated number of signers. A timelock makes every action wait, so holders can see it coming.

Where it trades
| Venue | Kind |
|---|---|
| GoldZip portal (portal.goldzip.app): minting for KYB-verified companies and redemption | issuer primary |
| MEXC (XGZ/USDT) | exchange |
| Uniswap on Ethereum (XGZ/USDT and XGZ/PAXG pools) | dex |
How it exits
| Path | Settlement | Settles in |
|---|---|---|
| Redeem in kind | An onboarded user opens a redemption ticket in the GoldZip portal, deposits 1,000 XGZ per 1 kg bar plus a non-refundable redemption fee within 72 hours, signs a waiver of all claims against GoldZip, and collects the bar in person or by agent at Brink’s Singapore (Kaki Bukit Road) on a booked weekday. Title passes only on collection. A missed collection costs a late fee; two misses within 30 days void the redemption and a failed-collection fee comes out of the deposited tokens. | XAU (1 kg bars of 999.9 gold, collected in Singapore) |
| Secondary market only; no issuer redemption | Holders below 1,000 XGZ, or who are not onboarded, exit by selling on MEXC (XGZ/USDT) or in the Uniswap pools GoldZip lists (XGZ/USDT and XGZ/PAXG). HKGX member traders act as market makers. | USDT, PAXG |
- The implementation behind 0x69af64f409c08E9076bF7f3ed9Db3a7409717161 changes, or the owner contract 0xd173e69192b9ff22069aa913ef6e6e94b19f0778 changes
- The transfer fee is raised from 0.01%; the contract lets the fee controller set it as high as 100%
- GoldZip freezes or force-burns an address, or pauses the token
- GoldZip publishes an attestation of the bars behind XGZ, names a vault other than Brink’s Singapore, or changes the 1,000 XGZ per bar rate
- GoldZip publishes notice of suspension or wind-down, after which its terms say the tokens carry no claim
- The Terms and Conditions or Rules change, above all the clause that denies holders a proprietary interest in the bars
What the monitor reads daily
Every control function in the table above and the contracts the token consults on transfer; the token’s on-chain supply against yesterday’s; and its market quote against yesterday’s quote. Every document quoted above is re-read too, and a quote that leaves its document reopens the file. A change opens a review item in the governance queue and reopens the file before any client action.
