Forged in colliding stars.
In 2017, astronomers watched two neutron stars collide, event GW170817, and confirmed the collision forged heavy elements, including gold estimated at roughly 200 times the mass of Earth.
The oldest asset on Earth, paid to holders.
Every $KNOX transfer carries a 3% tax, paid out to holders in GLDx, tokenized gold exposure, backed 1:1, delivered automatically to your wallet.

The thesis
Gold. The oldest asset. The original money.
Before bonds, before banks, before any currency now in circulation, there was gold. Egypt buried its kings in it. Lydia struck the first coins from it. Rome paid its legions with it. Every civilization that touched gold reached the same conclusion, independently, without coordination, across five thousand years: this is what value looks like.
Gold stands alone in nature. It survives air, water, and time untouched, and its supply is fixed by physics: every ounce on Earth was made in a cosmic collision and delivered here before history began. Almost all the gold ever mined still exists, and all of it together would fit in a cube the size of a small building.
That is why the institutions that issue the world’s money still keep gold as the reserve behind it. Central banks hold tens of thousands of tonnes and have been net buyers for over a decade. When the printers of currency want something they cannot print, they choose gold.
KNOX TREASURY applies a simple proposition to that fact. $KNOX is a reward token: 3% of every transfer flows to holders as GLDx, tokenized exposure to the gold ETF, backed 1:1, landing directly in their wallets. No staking. No claiming. No action required.
Activity becomes gold exposure. Automatically.
How it works
Four steps. Gold reflections.
The mechanic is enforced by the token itself, a Token-2022 transfer fee set permanently at launch, and executed by the StonkFun reward cycle.
-
Buy or hold $KNOX
Holding the token is the entire requirement.
-
Every transfer is taxed 3%
The tax is part of the token itself and applies on every venue, set permanently at launch.
-
The tax accumulates as GLDx
Collected tax builds into a pot of Gold xStock, the token $KNOX is paired against.
-
The pot is paid out, pro-rata
When the pot is worth paying out, it is distributed to holders automatically, in proportion to their holdings.
No staking
No claiming
No action required
Payouts are cycle-based
Wallets must support Token-2022
What you receive
GLDx, the gold ETF, on Solana.
GLDx is Gold xStock, a tokenized tracker certificate issued by Backed Finance. It tracks the price of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), the exchange-traded fund that holds physical gold bullion, and is backed 1:1 by the underlying, held in regulated custody.
Holding GLDx means holding gold price exposure that lives in your own wallet and trades on Solana around the clock: the gold ETF’s price, carried on-chain by a regulated issuer.
This is what $KNOX pays its holders: tokenized gold exposure, delivered to your wallet by the reward cycle.

The Gold Record
Five thousand years of evidence.
Every figure below is verified against the institution cited beneath it.
Origin
Earth’s gold came from space.
Tungsten-isotope evidence shows the gold accessible in Earth’s crust and mantle was delivered by meteorite bombardment after the core had formed. The gold present at the planet’s birth sank beyond reach.
The core holds more than we could ever mine.
More than 99% of Earth’s gold is locked in the core. Researchers at the University of Bristol calculate enough precious metal there to cover the planet’s entire surface in a layer four metres thick.
The Sun carries gold beyond counting.
Spectral analysis finds about eight gold atoms per trillion hydrogen atoms in the Sun, roughly a billionth of its mass, on the order of 1018 tonnes of gold held in plasma, forever out of reach.
Permanence
It never tarnishes.
Gold ignores air, water, alkalis, and nearly every acid. Funeral masks sealed in tombs for thousands of years emerge gleaming exactly as they were buried.
Nearly all of it still exists.
Because gold endures, virtually every ounce ever mined remains in existence today, in some form, melted, re-struck, and carried forward through history.
The oldest treasure on Earth.
The Varna Necropolis in Bulgaria holds more than 3,000 gold artifacts worked around 4,600–4,200 BC, some 6,500 years old, roughly two millennia older than the pyramids of Giza.
Six millennia of continuity.
Gold has been treasure for more than 6,000 years and money for over 2,500 years of coinage. It remains a reserve asset of central banks today.
Scarcity
All of it fits in a single cube.
Every ounce of gold mined in human history, about 216,265 tonnes through the end of 2024, would form a cube roughly 22 metres per side.
The oceans are full of it, and it is unreachable.
Seawater holds some 20 million tonnes of dissolved gold, at about 13 billionths of a gram per litre, so dilute that extracting it costs far more than the gold is worth.
Rarer than it looks.
Gold’s abundance in the crust is about 0.004 parts per million, among the rarest of elements. The entire world’s 2024 mine production, 3,300 tonnes, would fit in a cube under six metres on a side.
Denser than you think.
At 19.3 grams per cubic centimetre, a single cubic foot of gold weighs over half a tonne. A standard Good Delivery bar fits in one hand and weighs about 12.4 kilograms.
Value
Money before money.
The first coins ever struck, Lydia, late 7th century BC, were made of electrum, a natural gold-silver alloy. Within a century, King Croesus minted the world’s first pure-gold coinage.
Central banks still hoard it.
Official reserves stand near 36,500 tonnes, about 17% of all gold ever mined. Central banks have been net buyers every year since 2010, exceeding 1,000 tonnes annually from 2022 through 2024.
We send it to space.
A layer of gold 100 nanometres thin, about 48 grams in all, coats the mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope, chosen because gold reflects infrared light almost perfectly and never degrades. The same metal shields astronaut visors.
In your pocket right now.
Gold conducts electricity superbly and never corrodes, so it sits in nearly every phone and computer. A tonne of discarded circuit boards can contain up to 100 times more gold than a tonne of gold ore.
One ounce, eighty kilometres.
A single troy ounce of gold can be drawn into a wire 80 kilometres long, or beaten into a sheet of nine square metres, thin enough for light to pass through.
The platform
Why StonkFun.
$KNOX is a reward-coin launch on StonkFun, the Solana launchpad for tokens paired with tokenized stocks and commodities.
Rewards on every venue
The transfer tax is a property of the token itself. Trades and transfers anywhere, any DEX, any wallet, feed the same holder payout.
Platform rewards ↗No creator fee
Reward coins on StonkFun carry no creator fee position. The full 3% belongs to holders.
Platform docs ↗The flywheel
A share of trading fees from every pool feeds a platform flywheel that buys back and burns StonkFun’s top 15 tokens by market cap, weighted by size, every few minutes. $KNOX is eligible by ranking, a platform mechanic.

FAQ
Precise answers.
Do I need to stake or claim anything?
No. The 3% tax is withheld by the token program on every transfer, and the StonkFun reward cycle distributes the accumulated pot to holders’ wallets automatically. Holding $KNOX in a self-custody wallet is the entire requirement.
How often do payouts happen?
Payouts are cycle-based. Collected tax accumulates until the pot is worth paying out; the platform then distributes it pro-rata to holders. Frequency therefore depends on transfer activity, more volume, more frequent cycles. Distributions are operated by StonkFun and can be delayed or halted by the platform; they are a mechanical feature of the token.
What exactly is GLDx?
GLDx is Gold xStock, a tokenized tracker certificate issued by Backed Finance that tracks the price of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), the ETF holding physical gold bullion. It is backed 1:1 by the underlying, held in regulated custody, and trades on Solana. See the issuer’s product page.
Do I own physical gold?
No. GLDx is tokenized gold price exposure: it tracks the gold ETF and is backed by the underlying at the issuer level.
What is the 3% tax, and who pays it?
It is a Token-2022 transfer fee written into the $KNOX mint itself, set permanently at launch. Whoever transfers the token pays it: 3% of every buy, sell, or wallet-to-wallet transfer is withheld on-chain, on any venue, and flows to the holder reward pot.
Can the tax rate ever change?
No. The transfer fee is fixed on-chain at launch and, per StonkFun’s terms, the fee configuration of an existing token is permanent.
Which wallets work?
Any Solana wallet that supports the Token-2022 standard, Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack among them. Both $KNOX and GLDx are Token-2022 assets, so older integrations that only handle the legacy SPL standard may not display them.
Is there a creator fee?
No. StonkFun reward coins carry no creator fee position. The 3% transfer tax goes to holders; the trading pool’s standard fee goes to the platform, a share of which feeds the ecosystem flywheel.
What is the flywheel?
A StonkFun mechanic: a share of trading fees from every pool buys back and permanently burns the platform’s top 15 tokens by market cap, weighted by market cap, every few minutes. $KNOX qualifies whenever it ranks in that top 15. It is a platform program that can change over time, so treat it as context.
Where can I verify distributions on-chain?
Everywhere. The reward totals shown on this site come from the public StonkFun API, and every payout is an on-chain GLDx transfer you can inspect in any Solana explorer, look up the $KNOX mint on Solscan or SolanaFM and follow the distribution transactions to holder wallets.
Does selling stop my rewards?
Rewards are pro-rata to what you hold at distribution time. Selling reduces your share from the next cycle onward, and the 3% tax applies to the sale itself. GLDx already delivered to your wallet is yours regardless.
Where do I buy $KNOX?
On the official StonkFun token page, linked from every button on this site. Use only the contract address published here, impersonating tokens exist on every launchpad, including two unrelated “Knox”-named tokens already on StonkFun.
