The Protocol

A new economy built on
gold you don’t have to mine

01 nGRND Inc. is a land management and sustainability company. The company (nGRND Inc.) holds exclusive agreements to acquire and purchase proven in-ground gold resources plus obtain exclusive long-term rights (30 to 100 years) to develop the value from alternative land use monetisation.
02 The purchase by nGRND Inc. of verified proven gold resources and keeping it ‘in-situ’, in the ground, creates Preserved Gold. nGRND Inc. secure their purchased gold resources to a digital custodian creating “Preserved Gold” with immutable provenance including the transfer of the gold to the nGRND Gold Protocol treasury.
03 Long-term alternative land use monetisation (30 to 100 years) The surface above each preserved site is monetised through alternative land use methodologies, which may include such things as biodiversity restoration, rehabilitated waste (including rehabilitated gold from tailings), afforestation, regenerative farming, renewable energy generation, sustainable data centres, and many other approved long-cycle ESG and SDG aligned use cases, based on the feasibility studies of the preserved sites.
04 nGRND Gold Protocol distributes the value. The protocol is the blockchain layer. It is where: the gold is distributed to the Treasury on-chain; the value from above-ground activity flows to token holders through staking pools; token holders participate, earn, and govern.
05 Token holders participate, earn, and govern. Token holders vote on what happens to the gold treasury (stake it, sell it, deploy it, buy back tokens with it), on protocol parameters, on reward weights, and on the major decisions that shape the network.

The Treasury Strategy

The protocol has
two treasuries

There are two treasuries inside the protocol. They do different jobs and are governed differently.

Preserved Gold Treasury. The gold treasury exists to sustain the staking rewards pool and the ESG & SDG mission and vision. It is the protocol's exposure to the appreciation from climate-positive preserved gold.
Protocol Token Treasury. The token treasury is the protocol's own holding of nGRND Gold Protocol Tokens. It is the operating war chest.
Purpose. Ecosystem operations, partnerships, growth and future-state needs.
Governance. Use of the Protocol Token Treasury is determined by the white paper, not by token-holder vote.
Staking rewards are sustained by verifiable protocol-level revenue, including preserved-site monetisation and any realised appreciation in the value of the Preserved Gold Treasury.

Unlock value without extraction.

Sustainable by design

AVOIDED MINING · PRESERVED GOLD · ALTERNATIVE LAND USE

We do not own mines. We do not extract. We work with miners and gold landholders to keep proven gold resources underground, monetising long-term sustainable opportunities from the land while avoiding detrimental socioeconomic and environmental impact.

Why Now

nGRND Gold Protocol
Treasury

Already Valued

Mining companies trade on in-ground proven resources

Exposure to gold appreciation through the Gold Protocol's Treasury. As the price of gold appreciates over time, the treasury appreciates with it.

Already Verified

NI 43-101 / JORC compliant verification

Currently 600,000 ounces of gold are secured under long-term agreements, with millions of ounces in active pipeline discussions.

Already Monetisable

Avoided mining and land use create new revenue logic

By choosing not to extract gold, each preserved site can support monetised sustainability, ESG, SDG and alternative land-use programmes.

Now Tokenisable

Digital custody and protocol rails make this scalable

The protocol separates the Preserved Gold Treasury from the Protocol Token Treasury so rewards, operations and governance are clear.

nGRND Inc. operates the upstream business. nGRND Gold Protocol distributes the value.
