Fee & Premium Structure​

Redemptions may incur the following costs depending on method and bar size:

  • Logistics Fee: Covers packaging, handling, and secure transport

  • Insurance: Applied to physical delivery or high-value in-person pickup

  • Premium Over Spot: Physical redemptions may carry a market premium, which varies based on:

    • Bar format (e.g., 10g bars typically carry higher premiums than 1kg bars)

    • Location and delivery method

    • Vault inventory and sourcing

The premium is quoted at the time of redemption and must be accepted before the transaction proceeds.

stGold must be converted back into GOLD before redemption, and only after lockup expiry.
