Ethereum
GoldZip issues a gold-referenced ERC-20 on Ethereum. Prism verified the contract directly (symbol XGZ, 8 decimals, 39,000 tokens outstanding) and confirmed a live quote. Custody and audit arrangements have not been independently confirmed, which is stated here rather than assumed.
Gold token with 39,000 units on chain and live routing.
Prism analyst note
Tradeable and on-chain verifiable, but thinly documented. Prism could confirm the contract and the route; it could not confirm who holds the gold or whether anyone audits it. For a gold token that is the question that matters, so this sits well below PAXG, XAUT and XAUm on the risk scale despite a comparable price per unit. Listed because it is real and routable, scored honestly because the backing is unproven.

Frequently asked
Is the gold audited?+
Not that Prism could establish. Supply is verifiable on-chain; the reserve behind it is an issuer claim with no attestation we could locate.
