What you can do with it

More than a token. A whole new way to use gold.

Obsidian isn't just a way to buy gold. It's the settlement layer for metals, everything money does, your gold can do.

Hold it

Real gold and silver, backed 1:1, verified. The oldest store of value, finally easy to own.

Spend it

Goldbacks are real gold you can spend like cash. A metals-backed debit card is coming, so you can tap and pay with gold at any terminal.

Send it

Pay anyone, anywhere, instantly. Family, business, borders, no banks in the middle.

Get paid in it

Settle deals, invoices, and trades in gold and silver instead of dollars that lose value.

Put it to work

Use your metal in the apps you already use: borrow against it, provide liquidity, earn with it. (Rolling out with launch partners.)

Let your AI use it

Our payments API lets AI agents buy, hold, and pay in real metal on your behalf. The machine economy runs on metal, now it transacts in it too.

Redemption is the trust anchor. The settlement layer is the business.

Why Obsidian

Sound money, priced better.

Buy gold from a dealer, you pay a big markup. Buy a gold ETF, you pay every year and never actually own any gold. With Obsidian, you pay almost nothing, and it's real gold, yours, always.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What metals are supported?+

Gold and silver bullion, US legal-tender gold and silver coins, and Goldbacks.

How is backing verified?+

On-chain proof-of-reserve attestation ties every token to allocated metal in Alpine Gold Exchange custody. You can verify it yourself, independent of any single report.

Can I redeem physical metal?+

Yes. Burn your tokens to request delivery of physical bullion, coins, or Goldbacks, or collection from a secured vault.

Can I spend it?+

Yes. Goldbacks are real gold made to be spent like cash, and a metals-backed debit card is coming so you can pay with gold anywhere.

Why Solana?+

It's fast and cheap to use, so you can spend or send your gold and silver like everyday money, not just hold onto it.
