Recently, Matrixport's RWA platform Matrixdock announced that its gold token XAUm has been officially deployed on the Solana blockchain. This expansion signifies that institutional-grade tokenized gold is further entering the high-performance public chain ecosystem, providing more scalable infrastructure support for trading, liquidity management, and DeFi application scenarios.

XAUm is one of Asia's leading tokenized gold projects in terms of scale, with each token representing one troy ounce of 99.99% pure, LBMA-compliant physical gold, and supporting physical redemption. The relevant gold is custodied in institutional-grade vaults and subject to independent third-party audits.

Tokenized gold enters high-performance public chains, unlocking on-chain financial use cases

As the on-chain financial system gradually matures, market discussions are beginning to focus more on the long-term availability of assets within the on-chain financial system. In this context, tokenized gold is evolving from a static store of value into a foundational asset that can participate in on-chain financial activities.

Solana provides a more suitable operating environment for the large-scale deployment of RWA with its high throughput, low latency, and low transaction costs. Its nearly instant settlement capability and high-frequency interaction characteristics enable gold to not only exist as a value storage tool but also to play the role of liquidity and reserve assets within the on-chain financial system.

Eva Meng, the head of Matrixdock, said, "XAUm's deployment on Solana takes gold from passive holding further toward programmable financial infrastructure. High-performance blockchains enable gold to achieve more efficient circulation and usage while maintaining full physical backing, marking an important step in the modernization of asset issuance, verification, and application."

Native integration into the Solana DeFi ecosystem, balancing physical asset backing with on-chain liquidity

XAUm will natively integrate into Solana's DeFi ecosystem, with initial liquidity deployed on Raydium for decentralized trading and liquidity provision, and plans to further expand into Solana's lending market. Pyth will serve as the primary price oracle, providing price references for on-chain applications.

This architecture enables XAUm holders to utilize tokenized gold for collateralization, obtain on-chain liquidity, and participate in diverse DeFi use cases, 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 the Solana Foundation for the Asia-Pacific region, said, "Solana has been committed from the beginning to support the large-scale application of real-world assets. With the launch of XAUm, Matrixdock is introducing fully physical-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 the first time Matrixdock has deployed a tokenized gold project on Solana. At the end of 2025, Matrixdock served as the tokenization technology provider, supporting the Kingdom of Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC) in launching the sovereign gold-backed token TER, which is already operational on Solana. By advancing its institutional-grade product XAUm alongside sovereign-level projects like TER, Matrixdock is gradually establishing an infrastructure-type positioning in the tokenization of real-world assets, spanning both public and private sectors.

Solana's growing institutional participation, mature liquidity foundation, and active developer community align closely with Matrixdock's strategic goal of positioning tokenized gold as a reserve layer asset for on-chain financial markets.

Matrixdock is the RWA platform under Matrixport, dedicated to providing the market with high-quality access to real-world assets through tokenization technology. Matrixdock is the first platform in Asia to launch the tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury bill product STBT, and it introduced the gold token XAUm in 2024. In 2025, Matrixdock participated in the architecture of the Kingdom of Bhutan's sovereign gold token TER, continuing to promote the application of tokenized assets in real financial and public systems.
