GOLD, KEPT
IN THE GROUND.
IN THE GROUND.
The nGRND Gold Protocol is supported by a dual treasury that includes Preserved Gold that is verified gold that stays safely in the ground instead of being mined. This creates a new approach to gold that can support alternative land uses and measured ESG and SDG impact. NGRND is a utility token and does not give Participants direct ownership of the Preserved Gold.
02PARTICIPATION
Stake. Participate. Get Rewarded.
Instead of simply buying a token and waiting, the nGRND Gold Protocol gives you ways to participate. Stake NGRND and engage across 8 Participation Streams, including Play, Learn, Refer, Impact and more. Your NGRND holdings and participation can help increase your Reward Level and your potential share of available Rewards.

03THE REWARDS MODEL
Rewards Without More NGRND Token Emissions
Here is an important difference: Rewards are intended to be paid in stablecoins such as USDC and USDT—not through the token treasury or continual issuance of NGRND tokens. This model is designed to reduce NGRND token emissions and potential selling pressure created when native tokens are issued or distributed as rewards. Stablecoin Rewards are subject to applicable laws, regulatory restrictions, eligibility requirements and program terms.
NGRND drives the participation. Stablecoins provide the Rewards.
Get NGRND. Stake NGRND. Participate. Get Rewarded.
04YOUR PARTICIPATION PASSPORT
Your Dynamic Soulbound Token (DSBT) is your Passport
An nGRND Gold Protocol Dynamic Soulbound Token (DSBT) is your personal digital passport to the Staking & Rewards Ecosystem. It is free, unique to you, non-transferable and connected to your wallet.
Your DSBT recognizes your participation across the ecosystem—from staking NGRND and learning to playing, referring friends and supporting impact activities. As you participate, your DSBT can evolve with you.
Each nGRND Gold Protocol Participation Stream Partner, like nGRND, Dig It, Gamee and Predictfully, along with future partners, each have their own DSBT providing Participants with custom participation activities, tasks, special offers and benefits to increase your Reward Points from each partner that count towards your total Reward Points. Participants can have multiple DSBTs but they must be in the same digital wallet.
Its value is simple: Your DSBTs are your passport that recognizes your activity, helps unlock benefits and connects you to more opportunities to participate and earn Rewards.
