What is GOLDST?
GOLDST is physical gold represented one-to-one as a token on STRATO, a blockchain built for real-world assets. A custodian stores the metal and issues a matching amount of on-chain tokens, so holding GOLDST is holding a claim on real bullion — without the cost, custody headaches, or dealer spreads of buying and storing physical gold yourself.
Because ownership lives on-chain, your gold becomes liquid and divisible: buy a fraction of an ounce, send it anywhere in seconds, trade it at any hour, and use it in on-chain markets — all while the underlying metal sits vaulted, insured, and audited in New York.
Backed by metal you can verify
The gold behind GOLDST is held with BA Gold Enterprises Inc. in vaults at 43 West 47th Street and 64 West 47th Street, New York City — the same vaults trusted by high-profile jewelers. The reserves are fully insured, and the token-to-metal match is enforced on-chain by smart contracts.
Backing is verified two ways: monthly vaulting letters from the custodian confirming the ounces held, and independent CPA audits that physically inspect the vaults. As of the June 2026 treasury report, 6,289 troy ounces of gold back the roughly 6,013 GOLDST in circulation — more metal than tokens.
Gold that does more than sit in a vault
Trade 24/7, settle in seconds
GOLDST trades against the USDST stablecoin in on-chain pools around the clock — no market hours, no dealer spreads, global settlement in seconds. It's also listed as GOLDST/USDT on Coinstore.
Earn yield on your gold
Deposit into STRATO vaults where an autonomous bot trades GOLDST/USDST liquidity and returns the profit as rising share value — no lockups, no inflationary emissions. A dedicated Gold Vault is coming soon.
Own a fraction, from anywhere
Tokens are divisible, so you can own a fraction of an ounce and transfer it anywhere in the world instantly — without shipping, assay, or storage logistics.
Redeem for the real thing
Every GOLDST is redeemable for the underlying physical metal. You hold a claim on vaulted gold, not an IOU — and the reserves are published and audited.
GOLDST vs. gold ETFs vs. physical gold

| Fractional ownership | Own a gram, not a bar | Per share | Whole coins and bars |
| Storage handled for you | Vaulted, insured, audited | Ongoing fund fees | You store and insure |
| Can earn yield | STRATO vaults and pools | No | No |
GOLDST carries the price risk of gold itself, and on-chain yield strategies add smart-contract and market risk. Nothing on this page is investment advice.

Can I earn yield on GOLDST?

How is GOLDST different from a gold ETF?
