Gold royalty & streaming, and AYNI's on-chain version
Not everyone who invests in gold buys metal or miners. Gold royalty companies finance mining operations in exchange for a share of future production — a model many investors prefer for its lower operating risk. AYNI applies a similar idea on-chain.
AYNI Gold — key figures
The product behind this site — AYNI Gold: real, gold-denominated yield from a licensed Peruvian gold operation, paid in PAXG.

What gold royalty & streaming companies do
Gold royalty companies (and streaming companies) provide upfront capital to miners and, in return, receive a percentage of the gold produced or the right to buy it at a fixed price. They get exposure to gold production without running the mine themselves.
Why investors like the royalty model
Compared with operating miners, the royalty model has lower exposure to rising costs and capital expenditure. That is why royalty gold and gold royalty stocks attract investors who want production-linked upside with less operational risk. Lists of the top gold royalty companies circulate widely for exactly this reason.
AYNI: on-chain exposure to gold production
AYNI brings the royalty idea on-chain. Participation is tied to the output of a licensed Peruvian gold operation; after operating costs and a programme fee, proceeds fund rewards paid in PAXG. It is, in effect, production-linked gold exposure — recorded on Ethereum and settled in a gold-backed token.
vs buying gold royalty stocks
Gold royalty stocks are equities held through a broker; AYNI is an on-chain programme that pays in gold (PAXG). Both seek production-linked exposure, but AYNI's rewards are gold-denominated and its trail is verifiable on-chain.
Royalty income rises and falls with the gold price (annual average, USD/oz, LBMA). Illustrative.
What your stake could earn
A royalty earns a share of production without running the mine. AYNI applies the same idea on-chain: your stake is tied to a licensed mine's output, and rewards are paid in PAXG (gold). Estimate a production-linked reward on your amount below.
Target Variable Reward is a target, not a guarantee — actual rewards depend on real gold production, costs and the gold price, and may be zero. Rewards are paid in PAXG. Illustrative; not investment advice.
