Aurus is embracing the concept of DeFi to disrupt the precious metals industry. The firm has built a truly decentralised platform that allows companies like refineries, distributors and vaults to autonomously tokenise precious metals. AurusGOLD (AWG) is a gold-backed token independently minted by participants of the Aurus ecosystem. Each token represents full ownership and can be redeemed for 1 gram of 99.99% gold, sourced from LBMA-accredited refineries. It’s a global currency that can be used as an alternative to unstable fiat currencies or a way to invest in gold. _The official AurusGOLD ticker is “AWG” and trades under that name on all the exchanges where it has been listed. The designation “AUROS” is for CryptoCompare.com only._
