Aureo

Aureo - AI-Powered Gold Investment Platform

The Problems

1. High Barriers to Entry: Traditional gold investment requires significant capital, making it inaccessible for everyday investors

2. Poor Market Timing: Retail investors often buy at suboptimal prices due to lack of market analysis tools and expertise

3. Expensive Transaction Fees: Traditional gold dealers and banks charge high premiums and storage fees

4. Limited Accessibility: Physical gold requires secure storage; digital gold often comes with platform restrictions

5. No Fractional Ownership: Most platforms require minimum investment amounts, excluding small investors

The Solution

• Tokenized Gold (mGOLD): Convert any amount of USDC into synthetic gold tokens backed by real-time XAU/USD prices via Pyth Network oracles

• AI Smart Entry: Gemini AI analyzes market conditions (24h high/low, volatility, trends) and executes purchases only at optimal moments

• x402 Payment Protocol: Pay-per-use micropayments ($0.01-$0.05 USDC) for AI execution - no subscriptions

• Blockchain Infrastructure: Built on Mantle Network (L2) for ultra-low transaction fees and fast settlement

• Mobile-First Design: Fintech-grade interface with bottom navigation for seamless mobile experience
