OROについて
ORO is a tokenized gold protocol on Solana. Each GOLD token represents one troy ounce of LBMA and UAE GD-certified physical gold held in insured third-party vaults, with legal title sitting in a bankruptcy-remote foundation. Users mint 1:1 with USDC and redeem for USDC or physical metal; pricing comes from Pyth and Switchboard oracles with deviation checks, contracts were audited by Cantina, reserves are attested monthly by a third party, and minting and redemption require KYC.
Yield comes from institutional gold leasing: metal is allocated to licensed brokers who lease it to refiners, jewellers and bullion desks, with rent paid monthly in gold, while stGold carries a 12-month lockup. In March 2026 GOLD became tradable through Polytrade and the team disclosed plans for physical redemption points in five markets; Movement Network named ORO its first cross-chain vault integration. A GRAIL API lets wallets and fintechs embed gold-denominated accounts, cashback and savings.
ORO, run by Singapore entity Oro Labs and founded in 2024, issues GOLD, a Solana token backed one-to-one by gold: one token per troy ounce, bars held at Brinks Dubai, certified to LBMA and UAE standards, with monthly reserve attestations from RSM. Beyond holding, GOLD can be staked for yield, used as loan collateral and redeemed physically, with KYC required on the redemption side.
Progress has tracked scale. A USD 1.TVL reached about USD 2 million by late January 2026 and above USD 3 million in February, a Cantina smart-contract audit completed in March, and by August on-chain holders stood near 10,700, making it one of the two largest native gold tokens on Solana by market value.
Strategy and roadmap: revenue does not come from trading fees but from a 0.5% mint and redemption fee (1% outside trading hours), the spread on lending bars to refiners and jewellers, and later GRAIL APIs and lending products, in effect converting the cost of holding gold into cash flow. That is also the constraint: scale remains in the low millions of dollars, far from the stated first-year goal of USD 1 billion tokenised; staking carries a twelve-month lockup and depends on the credit of leasing counterparties; and custody and redemption concentrate in a single Dubai vault system, so any failure in that chain would immediately call the physical backing into question.
