ORO is the full-stack infrastructure for tokenized gold - offering native yield, physical redemption, and programmable gold tokens with API and DeFi integrations.
For thousands of years, gold has served as the ultimate asset: a store of value that helps holders get ahead of inflation. And now, you can do even more with it. ORO turns gold into the perfect onchain real-world asset (RWA): inflation resistant, DeFi composable, and yield-generating
Problem 1: Gold is in high demand but remains inaccessible.
In many emerging markets, gold is culturally embedded but hard to own. Import duties, taxes, and regulation push prices above global spot. Outside cities, access is limited to informal, untrusted channels. Meanwhile, Web2 digital gold proves demand exists, but these solutions are geography-locked, charge high spreads, and rely on legacy supply chains.
Problem 2: Gold is static and underutilized across financial markets.
Gold is a proven store of value, but once you own it, it sits idle. It earns nothing, can't be used in payments, and is expensive to borrow against (often 20–30% APRs). Trillions lie dormant in vaults and homes with no financial utility. There's no unified way to own gold productively.
ORO’s thesis:
We believe gold will become more valuable onchain by unlocking utility, liquidity, and yield. A tokenized gold asset, if designed correctly, can do for gold what stablecoins did for fiat - transform it from a passive asset to an active, composable financial building block.
Our solution:
ORO is building the infrastructure layer for tokenized gold - designed from the ground up to unlock real utility, yield, and composability for gold in the digital age.
Most gold tokens stop at custody and issuance. ORO goes further, offering a full-stack platform for fintechs, DeFi protocols, neobanks, and global payment platforms. From secure custody and tokenization, to APIs, onchain integrations, and physical redemption - we enable programmable, usable gold.
What sets ORO apart:
- Native Yield: We unlock yield on gold through novel integrations and mechanisms.
- DeFi Composability: Our token is fully programmable and can be used as collateral in lending pools, payment rails, and DeFi strategies.
- Physical Redemption: Every token is backed 1:1 by real, vaulted gold, redeemable on demand.
- Plug-and-Play APIs: Our SDKs make integration seamless for Web2 and Web3 fintechs.
- USDC Interoperability: Users can easily swap between digital dollars and ORO gold, creating low-friction on/off-ramps.
