The real-world asset (RWA) tokenization division of Matrixport Group, called Matrixdock, has been tokenizing its gold product XAUm on Solana blockchain, which marks an important advance toward commodities of institutional scale going onchain. The deployment will bring physically secured gold to one of the most efficient and speedy blockchain networks in the industry, enabling the implementation of more diverse financial applications than long-term storage.
XAUm is presently the biggest tokenized gold program in Asia that promotes physical redemption in major wealth centers in the region. Each XAUm will be a troy ounce of 99.99% pure gold, which could be derived in LBMA-accredited refineries, stored safely in audited vaults, and verified by the third-party. Transferring XAUm to Solana, Matrixdock will be able to make gold more accessible, programmable, and liquid in the finite digital financial systems.
Why Solana Matters for Tokenized Gold
The high-throughput design and low cost of transactions of Solana are ideal in the deployment of high-scale real-world assets. Solana allows near-instant settlement and frequent interaction at low cost (through high frequency) as opposed to traditional blockchains that experience congestion or high fees. This technical profile enables golden tokens to serve as both a store of value and as a reserve asset to be actively used in onchain markets.
With XAUm on Solana, institutional users and DeFi actors can transfer, trade and deploy gold-backed assets effectively to support liquidity management, collateralization and yield strategies without compromising the underlying physical support of the asset.
Security and Institutional Standards at the Core
Matrixdock highlighted that security is a major focus of the design of XAUm. The Solana smart contracts that will be used to support the token have been audited independently by both Accretion and Sec3, which strengthens the adherence to the institutional risk and security requirements. Such audits are intended to provide integrity of contracts, reduction of attack surfaces as well as safeguarding users communicating with XAUm in decentralized applications.
The token has also been mentioned in the most recent industry report on tokenized gold by Falcon Finance, which identified Matrixdock as one of the most important platforms defining the institutional adoption of the sector.
Deep Integration with Solana DeFi
XAUm will be natively introduced into the decentralized finance ecosystem of Solana, and the liquidity can be initially provided at Raydium. This facilitates the decentralized trading and provisioning of liquidity at the beginning. Another program that Matrixdock intends to roll out is Solana-based lending protocols where token holders can use gold-backed assets as collateral, and remain exposed to physical gold.
Pyth Network will also offer price oracle, which will offer precise and real-time prices of gold across DeFi tools.
Proven Track Record in Sovereign Tokenization
The implementation of XAUm is based on the previous activity of Matrixdock on Solana. Later in 2025, the company was the tokenization technology provider to TER, a sovereign gold-backed token of Gelephu Mindfulness City of the Kingdom of Bhutan. The project proved that Matrixdock can work on the national and sovereign infrastructure levels.
The backing of both institutional products such as XAUm, and sovereign projects such as TER makes Matrixdock a reliable foundation to tokenize real assets in both the public and the private sector.
