LBMA gold bars

A digital token,
backed by
physical gold.

Each Pax Gold (PAXG) token is backed by one fine troy ounce of gold, stored in LBMA-accredited vaults in London. If you own PAXG, you own the underlying physical gold — held in custody by Paxos Trust Company, a regulated US trust under NYDFS oversight.

On-chain PAXG transfers

The safest way to own
investment-grade gold.

PAXG Wallet is built around four principles that set physically allocated gold apart from every other form of exposure.

Allocated.
Specific bars.

Every token corresponds to individually identified LBMA Good Delivery bars. Enter any address and retrieve bar serial numbers, fineness, and weight — directly from the Paxos allocation API, inside the wallet.

Non-custodial.
Your keys, always.

Private keys are generated locally, encrypted with AES-256, and stored only on your device. No server, no account, no cloud sync. Compatible with Ledger and Trezor for hardware-level signing.

Instant settlement.
On-chain.

Send PAXG to any Ethereum address. Transactions settle on-chain — final, auditable by anyone, anywhere. No T+2, no intermediary, no settlement risk. Verify independently on any block explorer.

Regulated issuer.
Monthly attestation.

PAXG is issued by Paxos Trust Company, chartered under New York State law, regulated by the NYDFS. Monthly attestation reports confirm gold holdings match token supply — published publicly.

Never. Keys are generated locally, AES-256 encrypted with your passphrase, and stored only on your device. The app has no server and cannot access your funds under any circumstances.
PAXG Wallet runs on macOS 12+, Windows 10/11 (64-bit), and Linux (Debian/Ubuntu .deb and AppImage). Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets are supported on all platforms.
There is no recovery mechanism — this is by design. Always back up your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase in a secure offline location before storing any funds.
Physical redemption is handled directly by Paxos, subject to minimum quantities (typically one full bar, ~430 oz) and identity verification. Visit paxos.com/pax-gold for details.
Open the Bar Lookup tab in the app and enter any Ethereum address. PAXG Wallet queries the Paxos allocation API and returns the specific bar serial numbers, fineness, and weight that back your balance.
