PAXG mint & burn alerts: when Paxos mints or burns tokenized gold
PAXG is Paxos's gold token: each one stands for gold in a London vault. When gold comes in, Paxos mints PAXG; when it is redeemed, Paxos burns it. Open the ready-made rule and get an alert within seconds of confirmation.

From the issuer
What the issuer says
Each PAXG represents physical ownership of LBMA-accredited gold bars, and the supply is backed by gold held in professional vaults in London, under the custody of Paxos.

Why set it up
Why people watch it
Gold coming in
A mint is new PAXG issued against gold added to the reserve.
Gold going out
A burn is PAXG redeemed, for gold or for cash.
Large moves, 250 PAXG and up
The second rule flags the big transfers, wherever they go.
Explained
When does Paxos mint or burn PAXG?
Paxos mints PAXG when a customer buys it from Paxos or converts gold into it, and burns it when a customer redeems it. Only one address, the supply controller, can do either, and the contract logs each one as an event anyone can read.
So a mint alert is gold entering the token, and a burn alert is gold leaving it, within seconds of confirmation.
Explained
How the rule reads PAXG
Every PAXG mint logs SupplyIncreased and a Transfer from the zero address; every burn logs SupplyDecreased and a Transfer to it. The ready-made rule listens for the two Transfers, so ordinary transfers never reach you. Amounts are in PAXG, with the token's 18 decimals applied.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Where does the data come from?
Every alert comes from the token contract's own event on Ethereum mainnet, read within seconds of confirmation, with a link to the transaction on Etherscan.
Can I get alerts only for large mints?
Yes. Open the mint & burn rule and add a condition on the amount, for example 1,000 PAXG.
Can I set this alert for free?
Yes. The free Beta plan covers one contract and needs no card, so any one of these rules fits in it.
Do the alerts show the gold price or a USD value?
No. Amounts are in token units, as the contract records them. Alerts carry no USD value and no price.
Is Alerts on Chain affiliated with Paxos?
No. Alerts on Chain is not affiliated with Paxos. The rules read public on-chain data from the contract Paxos publishes.
Does it cover other chains?
Ethereum mainnet only. Some of these tokens also live on other chains, each with its own contract; the rules here cover the Ethereum contract.
