What Makes a Commodity Token Real

Physical commodities (gold, silver, oil) and environmental credits (carbon, RECs) are being tokenized at scale. Here is the technical architecture that distinguishes real commodity tokens from marketing claims. A genuine commodity token must satisfy: (1) the underlying commodity actually exists and is held by a trusted...

  • PAXG (Pax Gold) — the model

Gold Token Architecture

contract GoldToken is ERC20, Ownable { // 1 token = 1/100 troy ounce of gold (0.01 oz) // Allows smaller denominations for retail uint256 public constant GRAMS_PER_TOKEN = 311; // 1/10 oz = 3.11 grams address public custodian; // Vault operator authorized to mint/burn string public vaultLocation; // LBMA vault ID // Mi...

    REC (Renewable Energy Certificate) Token

    contract RECToken is ERC721 { // Each REC = 1 MWh of verified renewable generation struct REC { string generatorId; // EIA facility ID string fuelType; // Solar, Wind, Hydro, etc. string state; // US state of generation uint256 generationYear; // Vintage year uint256 generationMonth; bool retired; // True = credit used...

      Frequently asked questions

      A carbon credit represents 1 metric ton of CO2 equivalent avoided or removed (e.g., a forest conservation project). A REC represents 1 MWh of renewable electricity generation. Both are environmental commodities, but they address different sustainability claims: carbon credits offset direct emissions; RECs support claims of renewable electricity use.
