🏒 General Questions

chevron-rightWhat is Aureo?hashtag

Aureo is a decentralized savings and payments platform that enables users to:

  • Save in Gold: Using an AI Agent to buy at the best price ("Buy the Dip").

  • Spend Instantly: Paying merchants by liquidating gold on-demand.

chevron-rightWhat blockchain does Aureo use?hashtag

We operate on the Mantle Network (Layer 2) for:

  • Low Gas Fees: Essential for frequent micro-investing (DCA).

  • Fast Finality: Crucial for instant payments (~2 seconds).

chevron-rightIs it safe?hashtag

Yes, our security measures include:

  • Oracle Validation: All prices are verified via Pyth Network to prevent manipulation.

  • Trustless Vault: The AureoRWAPool contract is the only entity that can mint or burn gold.

  • Non-Custodial: You own your mGOLD tokens in your wallet.


πŸ’° For Savers (Investing)

chevron-rightHow does the "Smart Deposit" work?hashtag

You deposit USDC into the vault, and our Python AI Agent monitors the market off-chain. It executes the buyGold transaction only when your target price is met or when it detects a market dip.

chevron-rightCan I buy Gold manually?hashtag

Yes! You can bypass the AI Agent and click "Buy Now" on the dashboard to execute an immediate purchase at the current Oracle price.

chevron-rightWhat is the price of Gold on Aureo?hashtag

The price is fetched in real-time from the Pyth Network (XAU/USD feed). We normalize this data to 18 decimals on-chain to ensure precision.


πŸ’³ For Spenders (Payments)

chevron-rightHow do I spend my Gold?hashtag

When you pay a merchant (e.g., $5), the system automatically calculates how much mGOLD needs to be burned based on the current Oracle price.

chevron-rightIs there a fee for spending?hashtag

Aureo charges 0% protocol fee for spending. You only pay the minimal Mantle gas fee (usually < $0.01).

chevron-rightWhat if the price of Gold drops right before I pay?hashtag

Aureo uses real-time pricing. If the price drops, you will burn slightly more mGOLD to cover the same $5 USD value.


πŸ”§ Technical Questions

chevron-rightWhat is the mGOLD token?hashtag

It is a standard ERC-20 token representing fractional ownership of Gold.

  • Decimals: 18

  • Minting: Restricted to AureoRWAPool.

  • Burning: Restricted to AureoRWAPool.

chevron-rightHow do you handle Oracle staleness?hashtag

In AureoRWAPool.sol, we check the timestamp of the Pyth price update. In production, transactions will revert if the price data is older than 60 seconds to protect users from stale data.

chevron-rightCan I run my own Agent?hashtag

Yes! The Agent logic is open-source. You can run the main.py script locally to manage your own portfolio strategy.
