Company mission

To create a pioneering web3 game that bridges the gap between the virtual and the physical worlds. Gold Token SA wants to reimagine this new medium for the gaming community, and also inspire the next generation of precious metals collectors.

Our take

Game developer Gold Token SA’s The Spaceminers Club bridges the gap between Web3 video gaming and the blockchain world, gamifying the world of stock trading and investment of gold.

Using its responsibly sourced Swiss gold stocks, Gold Token SA will allow its Spaceminers to trade their virtual acquisitions for real stocks in gold through blockchain technology. Though The Spaceminers Club is set for launch in 2023, its proof of concept has become another example of how web developers are attempting to make the crypto market more accessible to non-coders.

Accessibility is key to opening up Web3 and its digital assets to the uninitiated, and the current trend sees a wide range of companies gamifying their mining. Gold Token SA takes it a step further with its parent company DGLD, a blockchain-backed “allocated gold” proof of ownership company. This triumvirate could help expand the blockchain and digital assets market to more consumers, but the proof will be in the pudding when Spaceminers is made available to the public.
