what's Metals.io?

Metals.io is a blockchain-powered platform that allows users to buy, own, and trade tokenized representations of physical metal commodities in a unified portfolio. Built on the Tezos blockchain with partnerships including Archax for regulatory compliance, it offers 24/7 global access, fractional ownership starting from low amounts, and direct pro-rata claims on fully allocated physical reserves stored in regulated depositories. Features include proof of reserves for transparency, no asset management fees, and reduced counterparty risk through on-chain custody. The platform provides tokenized uranium (xU3O8), gold (VNXAU), and a strategic metals basket (RARE) including hafnium, rhenium, indium, neodymium oxide, and praseodymium oxide—critical materials for nuclear energy, technology, and the energy transition. Developed by the team behind the pioneering uranium.io, Metals.io expands access to previously institution-only assets via intuitive web app integration with Tezos wallets.
