STRATO
STRATO is a blockchain-based DeFi platform that brings gold, silver, and other precious metals onchain alongside BTC, ETH, and stablecoins, letting users earn, borrow, and provide liquidity using these assets. Built by a team of long-time Ethereum infrastructure developers, it targets crypto-native users and precious metals holders seeking onchain liquidity and yield.

Description
STRATO puts vaulted, physically-backed gold and silver onchain and builds a full-stack, non-custodial, audited DeFi platform around them, enabling users to earn, borrow against, and trade tokenized precious metals together with BTC, ETH, and stablecoins. Its tokenized metals are backed 1:1 by physical reserves held in a New York City vault operated by partner BA Gold Enterprises Inc., audited monthly and redeemable for physical metal. Users can borrow the USDST stablecoin against collateral at up to 80% LTV, earn yield from an automated arbitrage vault that trades across gold, silver, ETH, BTC, and stablecoin pools, and earn STRATO reward points through lending, borrowing, swapping, minting, and liquidity provision ahead of the token generation event. The chain offers ultra-low transaction fees (~$0.01) and was built by the team behind one of Ethereum's original 2014 mainnet clients and the first Blockchain-as-a-Service offering on Microsoft Azure, advised by ConsenSys founder Joe Lubin, with smart contracts audited by Consensys Diligence.Grant Funding
