STRATO | The blockchain for HardFi

$STRATO is coming in Q4.

After 10 years of building, STRATO is entering its next phase.

$STRATO will sit at the core of the STRATO economy: the native asset designed to coordinate the HardFi ecosystem and capture the value created across a network built around gold, silver and other real-world assets.

STRATO is building a growing application layer across tokenized assets, borrowing and lending, USDST, yield, trading through STRATO Odds, and so on...

Behind it is a team of Ethereum veterans who have been building since the earliest days of the network, including work on one of Ethereum’s first Haskell clients.

They were there when Ethereum was still an experiment.

A decade later, STRATO is preparing to bring its own native asset to market.

Q4 marks the beginning of the next chapter.

NEW: Tokenized Gold Gains Ground as Investors Reassess Hard Assets and Global Markets

Gold and silver are back in focus as investors navigate shifting interest-rate expectations, geopolitical uncertainty and volatile equity markets.

Gold & Silver: Gold finished Friday near $4,074 per ounce, gaining approximately 5.2% over the week despite pressure from stronger US employment data. Silver traded around $52, supported by renewed interest in precious metals.

Real-World Assets: Tokenized real-world assets reached approximately $23.2 billion in tracked value, with Tether Gold, GOLDST and PAX Gold representing more than $5 billion combined. The growing market highlights how traditional assets are finding new applications onchain.

Oil & HardFi: Brent crude settled at $98.32 after a volatile week driven by developments involving Iran and concerns over global supply. Meanwhile, tokenization is opening new possibilities for using physical commodities as collateral, accessing liquidity and making traditionally idle assets productive.

Keep the metal. Unlock the capital.

Gold and silver have preserved wealth for centuries. STRATO gives them a new role in an onchain economy.

$GOLDST and $SILVST bring physically backed gold and silver onto STRATO, with each token backed 1:1 by vaulted metal.

Here’s how you put that value to work:

1. Get your metals onchain.
Fund your STRATO account and buy GOLDST or SILVST through Buy Metals. Supported bridge routes can also convert incoming funds into metal tokens on arrival.

2. Unlock liquidity.
Use your GOLDST or SILVST as collateral to mint USDST. Your metal position stays in place while you access capital against it. ↗

3. Put that capital to work.
Deposit USDST into the Savings Vault, provide liquidity to earn a share of trading fees, or swap into other supported assets. Choose how you participate in the economy built on STRATO.

The metal is the foundation. Credit and onchain applications expand what you can do with it.
