Polaris GOLDp (GOLDp) Pre-launch Stablecoin Tracker
GOLDp
Pharos can still tell you how this asset is supposed to work, when it expects to launch, and what sources to watch. Live market, peg, liquidity, and safety surfaces activate only after the first post-launch data sync.
Full launch status and history
Public testnet open on Sepolia at testnet.polaris.finance (shared infrastructure with USDp; the earlier app.testnet.polarisfinance.io host no longer resolves); official documentation is live at docs.polaris.finance. Polaris has moved from polarisfinance.io to polaris.finance (currently a coming-soon page linking the testnet, docs, and @polarisfnd), took its earlier blog offline, and now brands the asset GOLDp rather than pGOLD. Security review and audit-preparation phase underway with professional audits upcoming; mainnet date uncommitted (issuer prioritising security over speed). A $1M angel round with Ethereum Foundation, Liquity, LI.FI, Altitude, and Fusion participation was reported on September 4 2026, without a mainnet date.

Polaris consolidates on polaris.finance; former domain now serves only a move notice
A polaris-docs commit repointed documentation at polaris.finance; polarisfinance.io now shows only the move notice and the retired blog survives solely in web.archive.org captures. The Sepolia testnet app remains labelled Alpha, docs state no production addresses, audit status, or launch status may be inferred from testnet values, and no mainnet date or audit announcement accompanied the consolidation.
SourcePolaris closes $1M angel round with Ethereum Foundation, Liquity, and LI.FI participation
Polaris reported a $1 million angel round joined by the Ethereum Foundation, Fusion (IPOR), Altitude, Liquity, LI.FI, and more than 30 founders and contributors including Anthony Sassano, to build pETH as yield-bearing collateral for USDp and GOLDp. No mainnet date accompanied the round, and the Polaris blog carried no post about it.
SourcePolaris documentation renames pGOLD to GOLDp
The official docs at docs.polaris.finance describe GOLDp as a synthetic asset tracking the gold price by oracle against pETH collateral at a 115% minimum collateral ratio, with no physical gold; the Sepolia testnet app uses the GOLDp label throughout. The earlier Polaris blog posts used pGOLD.

SourceSynthetic Gold, No Vault Required
GOLDp (formerly pGOLD) is a pre-launch synthetic gold exposure that shares infrastructure with its sibling USDp but pegs to gold rather than the dollar, with no physical backing and the protocol risk that comes with a decentralized design. Unlike XAUT or PAXG, which tokenize actual bars in Swiss vaults, GOLDp is minted from the same pETH collateral pool via on Ethereum. This makes it arguably more decentralized than any gold-pegged token on the market, at the cost of carrying all the risks of crypto collateral in a down market. Whether DeFi users want synthetic gold exposure from immutable contracts instead of custodied metal from Tether or Paxos is an experiment Polaris is willing to run.
