# About AuResources ## What is AuResources? AuResources is a Swiss-based platform that tokenizes commodity futures using blockchain technology. We connect commodity producers with investors, allowing producers to sell future production at a discount while giving investors access to physical commodities through digital tokens.
## Is AuResources a cryptocurrency exchange? No. AuResources is not an exchange for trading tokens. We facilitate the purchase of commodity tokens representing ownership of physical commodities. While tokens are built on blockchain technology, they represent forward purchase rights for real-world assets, not speculative trading instruments. ## Where is AuResources based? AuResources AG is based in Zug, Switzerland. We operate under Swiss law, which provides a clear regulatory framework for blockchain and digital assets. ## Is AuResources regulated? AuResources operates within Swiss regulatory frameworks. Our tokens are classified as utility tokens and digital currency, not securities or financial products, based on independent legal analysis. We implement KYC/AML procedures where required (credit card payments and physical delivery).
