Recently, Matrixdock, the RWA platform under Matrixport, announced that its gold token XAUm has been officially deployed on the Solana blockchain. This expansion signifies the further entry of institutional-grade tokenized gold into the high-performance public chain ecosystem, providing more scalable infrastructure support for trading, liquidity management, and DeFi application scenarios.
XAUm is one of the leading tokenized gold projects in Asia in terms of scale. Each token corresponds to 1 troy ounce of 99.99% purity physical gold that meets LBMA standards and supports physical redemption. The relevant gold is custodied in institutional-grade vaults and undergoes independent third-party audits.
Tokenized Gold Enters High-Performance Public Chain, Unleashing On-Chain Financial Use Cases
As the on-chain financial system gradually matures, market discussions are increasingly focusing on the long-term usability of assets within this system. Against this backdrop, tokenized gold is evolving from a static store-of-value asset into a foundational asset that can participate in on-chain financial activities.
Solana, with its high throughput, low latency, and low transaction costs, provides a more suitable operating environment for the large-scale deployment of RWA. Its near-instant settlement capabilities and high-frequency interaction characteristics enable gold to not only exist as a value storage tool but also to play roles in liquidity and reserve assets within the on-chain financial system.
Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock, stated: "The deployment of XAUm on Solana moves gold further from passive holding towards programmable financial infrastructure. High-performance blockchain allows gold to achieve more efficient circulation and use while maintaining full physical backing. This is an important step in modern asset issuance, verification, and application."
Native Integration with Solana DeFi Ecosystem, Balancing Physical Backing and On-Chain Liquidity
XAUm will be natively integrated into the Solana DeFi ecosystem, with initial liquidity deployed on Raydium for decentralized trading and liquidity provision, and plans to further expand into lending markets within the Solana ecosystem. Pyth will serve as the primary price oracle, providing price references for on-chain applications.
This architecture enables XAUm holders to use tokenized gold for collateral, accessing on-chain liquidity, and participating in diverse DeFi application scenarios, all while maintaining full physical gold backing and asset integrity. On the security front, the Solana smart contracts supporting XAUm have undergone independent audits by Accretion and Sec3, reflecting Matrixdock's requirements for institutional-grade risk management and on-chain security.
Lu Yin, Head of Asia Pacific at Solana Foundation, commented: "Solana was designed from the outset to support the large-scale application of real-world assets. With the launch of XAUm, Matrixdock is bringing fully physically-backed, institutional-grade tokenized gold into the Solana ecosystem, enabling instant settlement, seamless integration with DeFi, and meeting institutional requirements for security and composability."
It is worth noting that this is not Matrixdock's first deployment of a tokenized gold project on Solana. In late 2025, Matrixdock, as the tokenization technology provider, supported the Kingdom of Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) in launching the sovereign gold-backed token TER, which is currently operational on Solana. By simultaneously advancing its own institutional-grade product XAUm and sovereign-level projects like TER, Matrixdock is gradually establishing an infrastructure-oriented position spanning both public and private sectors in the field of real-world asset tokenization.
Solana's growing institutional participation, mature liquidity base, and active developer community highly align with Matrixdock's strategic goal of positioning tokenized gold as a reserve layer asset supporting on-chain financial markets.
About Matrixdock
Matrixdock is an RWA platform under Matrixport, dedicated to providing high-quality access to real-world assets through tokenization technology. Matrixdock was the first platform in Asia to launch a tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury product, STBT, and introduced the gold token XAUm in 2024. In 2025, Matrixdock participated in structuring the sovereign gold token TER for the Kingdom of Bhutan, continuously promoting the application of tokenized assets in real finance and public systems.
