No. A Cypher is a claim on a specified quantity and quality of gold. PGC is the network token used for governance, custodian staking and incentives. Owning PGC does not itself create a claim to gold.
Physical redemption is part of the planned Cypher service. A holder requests delivery through a participating node, under the published rules for location, denomination, charges and delivery time.
No. The model includes potential allocations from network fees and PGC rewards. Amounts depend on activity and the applicable programme. Future leasing would be separately consented; gold and token values can fall.
