Tokenize Gold

Gold tokenization under the MiCA Asset-Referenced Token (Art. 8) framework requires a licensed legal structure before minting tokens on mainnet. To start building and testing immediately, create a development instance, it runs on testnet by default. Once your legal framework is in place, convert it to a production instance on mainnet.

1. Open the Token Manager

In the issuer app, navigate to Tokens in the sidebar and click Create.
