Since launching in 2020, Tether Gold (XAUt) has become the world’s leading tokenized gold asset, trusted by traders, savers, and DeFi enthusiasts alike. As a fully backed token, XAUt lets anyone hold a digital claim on LBMA–accredited bullion, locked in Swiss vaults and physically redeemable.

But like many onchain assets, XAUt’s liquidity lives in isolated pools and access is limited across chains. This fragmentation adds costs and risk to an asset otherwise known for stability and security across the ages.

XAUt0 was created to solve this. Let’s break down the differences between XAUt and XAUt0, as we bring the world’s leading tokenized gold asset into the omnichain future.

XAUt0 is the omnichain deployment of XAUt built on LayerZero’s OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) standard, and was created to expand Tether Gold’s original vision and utility. Each XAUt0 token is backed 1:1 by XAUt locked on Ethereum and can move freely across every supported chain.

In other words, XAUt0 is a unified liquidity layer for tokenized gold, not a mere wrapper or forked asset.

Tokenized gold volume topped $2B earlier this year and demand remains high, especially in the growing world of digital finance. XAUt0 adds to this momentum by turbocharging onchain gold with one canonical liquidity source across every supported network.

As a result, XAUt0 unlocks:

• Omnichain Access: Move XAUt0 effortlessly anywhere onchain without wrapping or redeploying new tokens on each chain.

• Enhanced Capital Efficiency: Leverage deep gold-backed liquidity pools that facilitate healthier, cost-effective market activity.

• Atomic Mint-and-Burn: Move your gold confidently across chains, with all cross-chain minting and burning occurring simultaneously once fully validated.

• Limitless Composability: Power new use cases that integrate gold as a DeFi asset rather than just passive storage, from multichain lending to gold-FX arbitrage strategies.

XAUt gave the world digital accessible, physically redeemable gold. XAUt0 takes the next step by making this tokenized gold truly borderless.Currently, XAUt0 is live on TON with a variety of new chain integrations expected in the coming weeks and months. On top of that, networks that do not yet support direct XAUt0 deployments can still tap into unified liquidity through the Legacy Mesh bridge today.

If you already hold XAUt, you own the most trusted gold-backed token on the market. If you want to move that gold seamlessly across chains for trading, lending, or simply safer storage, then XAUt0 is the answer.
