Combining the stability of gold with the agility of blockchain.
About our products
DuBois offers digital title to gold through its two products, KBAR and DAU.
Each product serves as digital proof that the holder owns a physical gold kilobar stored and insured safely in independent Swiss vaults.
Our products combine the stability and market acceptance of 99.99% fineness Swiss gold with the transactional efficiency and flexibility of blockchain technology, ensuring secure ownership of a precious metal that has maintained its value over time.
Comparing
DAU and KBAR
While both DAU and KBAR represent ownership to physical kilobars of gold, they each have different value propositions.
KBARs are linked to their corresponding gold bar by their serial number, allowing holders to purchase specific brands or serial numbers of bars.
DAU can be easily divided and transferred which may be useful for day-to-day transfers, and smaller holdings of gold.
Converting between DAU and KBAR
KBAR
DAU
To convert KBAR to a unit DAU, the customer must first return their KBAR to DuBois, where it is deactivated and held in escrow. DuBois will then register a unit of DAU, and transfer this to the customer.
DAU
KBAR
To convert a unit of DAU back to KBAR, a customer must first return a whole unit of DAU back to DuBois. The DAU is then deregistered, and an inactive KBAR is re-activated, and transferred back to the customer. Note that the KBAR returned to the customer may correspond to ownership of a different gold bar than what the DAU provided to DuBois represented.
