GEM NFT Instant Buy Feature – March 2025

Convert Your GPRO Holdings into Tokenized Gold


Introduction

Unlock the value of your GPRO tokens by converting them into GEM NFTs – a promissory note for the delivery of 24-carat LBMA investment-grade Gold after 12 months from mint.

How It Works

The “Instant Buy” option allows investors to convert their GPRO holdings into GEM NFTs through the following steps:

  1. Gather Pricing Data
  2. Determine the Premium Percentage
  3. Calculate the Exchange Rate 
  4. Calculate the Total GPRO Tokens to Burn

Step-by-Step Conversion Process

1. Gather Pricing Data. To ensure a fair and transparent exchange, we use real-time data.

  • Daily Gold Price (GOLD_price):
    • Definition: The average price of one gram of gold in USD, recalculated every 24 hours.
    • Source: An on-chain Oracle that records the gold price hourly and computes a daily average. 
  • 90-Day Moving Average Price of GPRO (GPRO_price):
    • Definition: The average trading price of GPRO tokens calculated over the past 90 days.
    • Source: Hourly price feeds from cryptocurrency exchanges are aggregated into a daily average, which is then recorded on-chain.
  • Desired GEM NFT Weight (NFT_weight):
    • Definition: The gold weight in grams you wish to convert into a GEM NFT (e.g., 1g, 2.5g, 5g, 10g etc.).

2. Determine the Premium Percentage (p)

Based on your chosen NFT Weight, a premium fee (denoted as p) applies to cover operational costs and market efficiency:

  • 1g ≤ NFT Weight ≤ 1,000g: 2% premium
  • 1,000g < NFT Weight ≤ 5,000g: 1.75% premium
  • NFT Weight > 5,000g: 1.5% premium

Example: For a 100g GEM NFT, the premium is 2%.


3. Compute the Exchange Rate

To determine how many GPRO tokens equal 1 gram of gold.

Exchange_rate = GOLD_price / GPRO_price​


4. Calculate the Total GPRO Tokens to Burn

  1. Base Tokens:

GPRO_tokens_to_burn = NFT_weight × Exchange_rate

  1. Premium Fee:

Premium_fee = GPRO_tokens_to_burn × p

  1. Total Tokens:

Total_GPRO_tokens_to_burn = GPRO_tokens_to_burn + Premium_fee

Example Conversion

Investor Scenario:

  • Desired GEM NFT Weight: 100g
  • Daily Gold Price (GOLD_price): $100 per gram
  • GPRO 90-Day Average Price (GPRO_price): $50
  • Applicable Premium (p): 2%

Calculation Steps:

  1. Exchange Rate:

Exchange_rate = GOLD_price / GPRO_price​ = 100 / 50 = 2

  1. Base GPRO Tokens to Burn:

GPRO_tokens_to_burn = NFT_weight × Exchange_rate = 100g * 2 = 200

  1. Premium Fee:

Premium_fee = GPRO_tokens_to_burn × p = 200 * 2% = 4

  1. Total GPRO Tokens to Burn:

Total_GPRO_tokens_to_burn = GPRO_tokens_to_burn + Premium_fee 

 = 200 + 4 = 204 

Outcome: To mint a 100g GEM NFT, an investor must burn 204 GPRO tokens (including the premium fee).

Why Convert GPRO to GEM NFT?

  • Asset-Backed Security: Each GEM NFT is backed by physical gold, ensuring stability and trust.
  • Transparency: Uses real-time market data for fair and accurate pricing.
  • Investment Flexibility: Choose from multiple gold-weight options to match your investment goals.
  • Premium Tiers: Lower premiums for larger investments, maximizing your value.
