## Assets

- [GOLD (GOLD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/orogold_app): GOLD is a gold-backed stablecoin issued by ORO on Solana, where each token represents one troy ounce of 99.99% fine physical gold. It is used for payments, staking to earn yield, and as collateral in DeFi applications, with full redeemability for physical gold or USDC. Unlike synthetic assets or paper gold, every token is fully backed by vaulted physical gold stored with regulated custodians, fully audited, and redeemable. (Stablecoin)
- [StGOLD (StGOLD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/orogold_app): StGOLD is a yield-bearing token representing staked physical gold on the Solana blockchain, issued by ORO. It is used to earn passive returns on gold holdings while maintaining full backing by vaulted bullion. The token generates yield by leasing gold to refiners, jewelers, and banks through institutional gold financing markets, transforming gold from a static store of value into an income-generating DeFi asset.
