Frequently asked questions.

Tokenised gold is a digital token backed by physical gold held in a secure vault. Each token represents a fixed quantity of allocated gold — typically one troy ounce. You hold the token; you own the gold. Unlike a gold ETF or futures contract, there is no intermediary and no settlement risk.

BOB Gateway currently supports swaps from native BTC into Tether Gold (XAUT) and PAX Gold (PAXG), both on Ethereum.

No. BOB Gateway uses atomic cross-chain swaps and an on-chain Bitcoin Light Client. Neither BOB nor any third party holds your assets at any point during the swap. The protocol is trustless — solvers cannot take your Bitcoin without completing the swap, and you cannot receive tokens without sending BTC.

No. Gas costs on Ethereum are estimated upfront and deducted from your transaction automatically. You only need BTC to get started — no ETH, no BOB token required.

Typically 5–10 minutes, primarily waiting for Bitcoin confirmation. Once BTC is received, the swap processes in seconds. Instant swaps are under development.

Yes. Use the QR swap feature to send BTC directly from your exchange account without connecting a Bitcoin wallet. Connect only your destination EVM wallet, generate the QR code, and send from your CEX. Send the exact amount shown within the required time window.

Both are backed 1:1 by physical gold. XAUT (Tether Gold) is the largest by market cap, with gold held in Swiss vaults. PAXG (PAX Gold) is regulated by the OCC, held in LBMA vaults in London, charges zero storage fees, and is the only gold token redeemable for physical delivery of LBMA gold bars.

Yes. The BOB Gateway smart contracts have been audited by Pashov and Common Prefix.
