Questions, answered.
What metals are supported?+
Gold and silver bullion, US legal-tender gold and silver coins, and Goldbacks.
What does one unit of each asset represent, and why?+
Each ticker has a whole-unit denomination matched to how that metal is used and priced. You can hold fractions on Solana. Unit price tracks the fraction, not a full ounce, unless the unit is one ounce.
- xGLDB · Goldbacks
- What1 unit = 1 Goldback, about 1/1000 troy oz gold
- WhySpendable note-sized gold, small enough to move like cash
- xGLDD · US Gold Coins
- What1 unit = 1 Gold Dollar, about 1/50 of a 1 troy oz US gold coin (about 0.02 ozt)
- WhyA full 1 oz coin prices in the thousands; the 1/50 unit keeps checkout approachable
- Redeem50 whole units line up with one full 1 oz coin when physical redemption is available
- xSLVD · US Silver Coins
- What1 unit = 1 US silver dollar coin
- WhySame coin-line idea as gold: everyday purchase size, not a full bar
- RedeemExact troy-oz fraction for redemption will be published with AGX once locked
- xGOLD / xSLVR · Bars
- WhatWhen those notes ship, 1 whole unit = 1 troy oz gold or silver bullion
- WhyBars are weight-denominated, so one unit maps 1:1 to AGX bullion ounce pricing
- RedeemFuture physical redemption targets a 1 oz bar
Checkout mints a digital note. Physical delivery is a later redemption step, not part of buy.
What stands behind Obsidian?+
Obsidian is backed by Alpine Gold Exchange (AGX), the operator behind the precious-metals accounts many people have historically called "UPMA accounts." We connect that established metal infrastructure to a faster digital experience.
Can I redeem physical metal?+
Physical redemption is on the way. When it ships, you will redeem from the app for delivery or vault collection. Buying and holding digital notes are available now.
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.
Who can use it today?+
