# Stable Metal > Transforming Metal into Value Stable Metal lets users hold a TON-based token backed by commodity slag with precious metals, linking digital assets to real-world metal value. Stable Metal is a DAO creating a commodity-backed currency on The Open Network. The STBL jetton is described as collateralized by metal-bearing slag containing gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium. The project focuses on transparent backing and a stable store of value, with documentation covering tokenomics, smart contracts on TON, and plans for a metal exchange and marketplace. - Type: Protocol - Sector: Finance - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-04-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/stable_metal ## Products - [Stable Metal (STBL) Stablecoin Issuance](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stable_metal): A commodity-backed stablecoin on TON that is backed by slag containing precious metals, giving users an asset-referenced digital currency. (Stablecoin Issuer, Live, Main Product) - [Metal Exchange](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stable_metal): An exchange module planned for trading STBL against metal-referenced assets within the Stable Metal ecosystem. (Decentralised Exchange, In Development) ## Assets - [Stable Metal (STBL)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/stable_metal): STBL is a commodity-backed stablecoin issued on TON Blockchain, collateralized by metal-bearing slag containing gold, silver, copper, platinum, and palladium. It is used for payments, staking, and trading within the Stable Metal ecosystem and planned metal exchange. The project uses slag as backing rather than extracting the metals, allowing holders to gain exposure to precious metal value without the environmental impact of traditional mining operations.
