# Gold Backed

Neither GPO nor GPX are directly backed by gold, but they **derive value through advanced economic models**:

* **GPO gains value through speculation and market demand.**
* **GPX derives value from The Pawn's buy-and-redistribute mechanism.**

While not physically backed by gold, **GoldPesa emulates gold’s economic principles as a store of value**, ensuring a **robust and sustainable ecosystem.**
