On August 21, 2025, Matrixdock, Asia's leading real-world asset (RWA) tokenization platform under Matrixport Group, announced that its gold token XAUm has completed the on-chain deployment of the Sui network. This move marks the first time XAUm has been successfully deployed on a non-EVM-compatible chain, representing a leapfrog evolution in terms of technical architecture and support network scale. The Sui Foundation will also conduct an XAUm strategic reserve to express recognition of the project with practical actions and further highlight the strategic position of tokenized gold in the on-chain asset portfolio in the Web3 era.

XAUm is the first gold token asset on the RWA tokenization track on the Sui network 。 With XAUm deployed on-chain and fully integrated with the on-chain ecosystem, users in the Sui ecosystem can easily access XAUm and efficiently interact with the on-chain ecosystem. At present, XAUm has reached a cooperation with the underlying infrastructure on the Sui network, Pyth Network will provide XAUm with exclusive price feeds for the Sui network, and Slush has also launched XAUm to provide on-chain participants with a silky protocol interaction experience. At the same time, XAUm's cooperation with mainstream DeFi protocols on the Sui network has also entered the integration and access stage, including Momentum, Navi, AlphaLend, Alphafi, and Nodo, which will successively complete XAUm integration to enrich XAUm's Defi applications on the Sui network.

As a network built on the Move language, the Sui network has become a Layer 1 network where phenomenal DeFi protocols and RWA tokenization tracks are vying to deploy, with an on-chain TVL of over $2 billion. Matrixdock chose to redevelop the code based on the Move language and deploy XAUm on the Sui network because it fully trusted the underlying design and technical architecture of the Sui network. Relying on the Sui network's support for sub-second response under high pressure and fully scalable infrastructure, RWA tokenized assets can be circulated on-chain efficiently and quickly. The Sui Foundation has also designed a special "ecological incentive" for XAUm to strengthen the position of the gold token XAUm as a key player in the Sui network's diversified portfolio tool.

Eva Meng, head of Matrixdock, said, "By bringing physical gold on-chain, XAUm transforms traditional static assets into on-chain assets with physical gold attributes and rich on-chain scalability. We are excited to see XAUm deployed to the Sui network, and as the Sui Foundation incorporates XAUm into Sui's strategic reserves, tokenized gold will further become a cornerstone of complex and diversified on-chain portfolio management. We hope to work with the Sui network to promote the development of RWA tokenization and broaden access to tokenized gold on the chain. "

Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is reshaping global finance, and XAUm on the Sui network is a powerful example of how we are leading this wave of innovation. The Sui Foundation is also optimizing our strategic reserve of Web3 assets and plans to allocate a portion of the reserve funds to XAUm. Christian Thompson, Managing Director of the Sui Foundation, said, "Gold is a traditional asset worth more than $22 trillion, and our community is looking forward to it. I am pleased to see the Sui network and XAUm reach an in-depth ecological cooperation and provide a new way for the Sui community and traditional investors to participate in the gold market. "

XAUm is a gold token issued by Matrixdock, 1:1 anchored to 99.99% pure gold certified by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), ensuring transparency in its gold reserves through regular audits. Recently, Bureau Veritas conducted a comprehensive audit of XAUm and released the "Audit Report on Physical Gold Reserves for the First Half of 2025", which shows that Matrixdock's gold holdings have increased by 500% in half a year 。 XAUm combines the attributes of investment-grade gold bars with the efficiency of blockchain, enabling investors to easily hold, trade, conduct on-chain financial activities, or redeem institutional-grade physical gold. In the future, Matrixdock plans to provide physical redemption options for XAUm based on Brinks and Malca-Amit in Singapore and Hong Kong, broadening the channels for physical gold redemption in global markets.
