VNX Gold is added to Metals.io, expanding onchain access to tokenized commodities on Etherlink

VNX Gold (VNXAU) has been integrated into metals.io, a new Etherlink application focused on accessing and interacting with tokenised commodities. Designed as a streamlined gateway to selected real-world assets onchain, the platform brings together digital representations linked to precious metals, rare-earth materials, and other strategic commodities in a single accessible environment.

The launch of metals.io marks another step forward for tokenised commodities within the Tezos and Etherlink ecosystem. Developed by Trilitech, the London-based R&D hub supporting the Tezos ecosystem, the platform is designed to make commodity-backed digital assets easier to discover, access, and interact with. At launch, metals.io includes tokenised uranium, rare-earth exposure products, and VNX Gold, placing gold alongside other strategically important assets in a modern onchain setting.

For VNX, this integration represents a meaningful expansion of VNXAU across blockchain ecosystems and DeFi-oriented infrastructure. Gold has long served as a store of value, a diversification tool, and a widely used portfolio component. With VNXAU, those qualities are combined with the advantages of blockchain: easier transferability, divisibility, transparency, and broader digital accessibility.

A new gateway to commodities on Etherlink

The addition of VNXAU is especially timely as demand for precious metals and strategic commodities continues to grow. As market participants and markets increasingly look for resilient assets and more efficient ways to access them, tokenisation offers a more flexible model of ownership and participation. Platforms such as metals.io help bring traditionally less accessible asset classes into a more user-friendly digital format.

The integration also highlights Etherlink’s growing role as infrastructure for tokenised real-world assets. Built on Tezos technology, Etherlink combines low-latency performance and near-instant confirmations with an EVM-compatible environment, supporting a smoother onchain experience for both users and builders.

As Alexander Tkachenko, CEO and Founder of VNX, commented:

“Gold has always been one of the world’s most enduring assets, valued for its stability and long-term role in preserving wealth. With VNX Gold, we bring that value onchain in a form that combines the security of allocated physical gold with the efficiency, divisibility, and flexibility of blockchain-based assets. We are pleased to see VNXAU added to metals.io, further expanding the availability of  tokenised gold within the evolving digital asset ecosystem.”

The addition of VNX Gold to metals.io reflects the kind of real-world asset innovation Etherlink supports. Tokenised commodities are becoming an important part of the on-chain economy, and making assets such as gold more accessible, programmable, and easy to trade is a meaningful step in connecting traditional value with next-generation blockchain infrastructure, Ben Elvidge, Head of Commercial Applications at Trilitech.
