What is a Gold Unit?
A Gold Unit is a digital participation unit within the AYNI Gold platform.
Each Gold Unit is linked to:
a defined amount of mining-linked capacity;
a fixed product tier;
an estimated Target Variable Reward;
an individual reward position;
a 90-day reward cycle;
Marketplace functionality, subject to eligibility and platform rules.
Gold Units provide a straightforward way to participate in AYNI Gold without acquiring and staking AYNI tokens directly.
What does mining-linked capacity mean?
Mining-linked capacity is the calculation base used to connect a Gold Unit to the productive activity of the mining operation.
One base capacity unit corresponds to 4 cm³ per hour.
This measurement does not represent an individually assigned piece of machinery, a fixed volume of material that will always be processed, or a guaranteed quantity of gold.
Capacity describes potential productive capability. Actual results depend on whether and how that capacity is used, including:
operating hours and downtime;
the volume of material processed;
the gold content of that material;
recovery performance;
equipment and site conditions;
operating costs;
the market price of gold;
programme fees and other applicable deductions.
This is why the app shows estimated accruals rather than a guaranteed return.
What mining operation supports the programme?
AYNI Gold’s programme is linked to gold production at mining concession No. 070011405 in Peru.
The concession is registered with INGEMMET, Peru’s state geological and mining authority, and is operated by Minerales SH San Hilario S.C.R.L.
The programme uses operational information from the mining activity to calculate whether a distributable result has been created.
What do I own?
A Gold Unit is a separate digital reward position within the AYNI Gold platform. Gold Units provide eligibility for variable digital rewards calculated under the programme rules.
It does not give you ownership of:
physical gold;
gold in the ground;
a specific piece of mining equipment;
the mining concession;
Minerales SH San Hilario S.C.R.L.;
AYNI TOKEN INC.;
shares or equity in either company;
the mining operator’s revenue or profit.
How does a Gold Unit work?
The process has five main stages.
1. Choose a Gold Unit
Select one of the available fixed tiers. Each tier has its own price, mining-linked capacity and indicative Target Variable Reward. See Gold Unit Tiers, Prices, and Mining Capacity for the full breakdown.
2. Activate the Gold Unit
After payment is confirmed and the Gold Unit is delivered to your account, it becomes an active position in your inventory. See How to Buy a Gold Unit for the full purchase walkthrough.
3. Follow estimated accruals
The app displays estimated daily accruals and the progress of the Gold Unit’s reward cycle.
These figures remain estimates until the programme determines the eligible result under the applicable rules.
4. Complete the reward cycle
Each Gold Unit has an individual 90-day reward cycle. Eligible rewards become claimable at the end of the cycle.
5. Claim eligible rewards
Eligible rewards are paid in PAXG, a gold-backed digital token issued by Paxos Trust Company. Identity verification is required before rewards can be withdrawn or transferred outside the platform. See Gold Unit Rewards and the 90-Day Cycle for how accruals and claiming work.
What was the Genesis collection?
The Genesis collection was the first Gold Units release. It introduced 1,000 Gold Units across six product tiers.
The number of units currently available for purchase may be different. Check the Official Shop in the AYNI Gold app for current availability.
Gold Units or AYNI Token Staking?
Both formats participate in the same mining-linked programme, but their mechanics are different.
Gold Units | AYNI Token Staking |
Fixed product tiers | Flexible token allocation |
Entry from USD 30 | Entry from USD 1,000 |
USD-denominated estimates | AYNI token-based participation |
Target VR up to 33% per year | Target VR up to 45% per year |
Individual 90-day cycles | Fixed staking periods |
Marketplace sale to another user | Liquidity depends on token terms and lock periods |
Designed for straightforward access | Designed for larger or crypto-native allocations |
Neither format guarantees a return. Rewards depend on actual programme results and may be zero.
Important information
Gold Units involve mining, commodity, digital-asset, operational, liquidity, technical, legal and regulatory risks.
Target Variable Rewards and daily accruals are estimates. They are not fixed interest, dividends, guaranteed income, or a promise of repayment.
