One of the first questions people ask about tokenized gold is: “What about gas fees?” After all, if every transfer costs too much, small gold ownership would lose its appeal. With GIFT Gold, the story is different. Let’s break it down.

💸 What Are Gas Fees?

Gas fees are the transaction costs you pay when moving assets on a blockchain. They cover the computing power needed to process and confirm transactions.

On Ethereum, these can be high—sometimes even more than the value of a micro gold transfer.

On scalable chains like Polygon and BNB Chain, fees are just fractions of a cent.

⚖️ Gas Fees vs. Traditional Costs

When compared to traditional gold investment channels:

Bank transfers & forex spreads: often 1–3% of the transaction.

Jewelry markups: 5–20% above gold’s spot price.

Tokenized gold transfers (Polygon/BNB): almost negligible.

This makes digital gold practical even for $1 purchases.

🚀 Why GIFT Keeps It Low

Runs on low-fee blockchains (Polygon, BNB Chain).

Optimized smart contracts to minimize gas usage.

Fractional transfers possible without losing value to fees.

🌍 The Real-World Impact

Low gas fees make GIFT Gold usable for:

Everyday micro-savings (like setting aside $5 at a time).

Cross-border transfers without banking fees.

Accessible wealth storage for communities priced out of traditional systems.

🎯 Final Word

Gas fees aren’t a barrier—they’re a bridge. With GIFT Gold, tokenized ownership becomes affordable, scalable, and borderless.
