We’re excited to announce that Matrixdock, a digital assets platform that provides access to real-world assets through tokenization, has extended its integration of the Chainlink interoperability standard, Chainlink CCIP, to enable secure cross-chain transfers and native minting of XAUm, a fully reserved gold-backed token. Users can now seamlessly move XAUm between Ethereum and BNB Chain through CCIP-powered messaging, expanding Matrixdock’s Chainlink-enabled RWA infrastructure to include tokenized gold.

Matrixdock has also adopted the Chainlink data standard by integrating Chainlink Price Feeds for its XAU/USD market, helping ensure XAUm maintains reliable, tamper-resistant pricing across onchain lending platforms.

What is XAUm?

XAUm, an ERC-20 token with a $42M market cap is fully backed by physical gold, offers investors a trusted and transparent digital asset tied to gold accredited by the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). The gold reserves backing XAUm are stored in high-security Malca-Amit and Brink’s vaults in Singapore and Hong Kong, ensuring the integrity of the token. By combining gold’s intrinsic value with tokenization technology, XAUm enhances the accessibility and revenue-generating potential of gold investments.

Unlocking Interoperability for XAUm With CCIP

Chainlink CCIP enables developers to build secure applications that can transfer tokens, send messages, and initiate actions across blockchains. This enables projects to build innovative cross-chain apps and users to securely transfer XAUm cross-chain.

Why we chose CCIP as our preferred solution:

• Always-on infrastructure: CCIP is built with the same time-tested infrastructure as other Chainlink services that underpin prominent protocols across DeFi with zero downtime, ensuring reliability in every cross-chain transaction. 

• Battle-tested security: CCIP’s consensus layer is powered by Chainlink Decentralized Oracle Networks (DONs), infrastructure that has secured over $75 billion in DeFi TVL at its peak and enabled over $22 trillion in onchain transaction value since the start of 2022.

• Developer control and flexibility: Token developers retain full ownership of their cross-chain token contracts, CCIP token pools, and customized implementation logic, including rate limits across chains. This autonomy eliminates vendor lock-in, hard-coded logic, or external dependencies, allowing developers to customize functionality without compromising security.

Enhancing Onchain Gold Pricing With Chainlink Price Feeds

To help ensure XAUm maintains transparent and reliable market pricing across DeFi protocols, Matrixdock has integrated the Chainlink XAU/USD Price Feed. Key benefits of using Chainlink Price Feeds include:

• Price Precision and Accuracy: Chainlink Price Feeds aggregate data from numerous high-quality sources spanning major DEXs and CEXs. This data is weighted by liquidity and cleaned of outliers or fake volume, delivering a single global reference price that reflects fair market conditions.

• Resistance to Data Manipulation: By sourcing from multiple independent aggregators and exchanges, Chainlink Price Feeds are highly resistant to manipulation via flash loans or data distortions from sudden market events such as flash crashes.

• Decentralization and Security: Chainlink Price Feeds are secured by a decentralized network of independent node operators and data providers. This removes centralized points of failure and helps ensure continuous, tamper-resistant data delivery, even during periods of extreme market volatility or network congestion.

By integrating Chainlink Price Feeds, Matrixdock strengthens the capital efficiency, composability, and trustworthiness of XAUm within onchain finance—ensuring that its value is anchored to robust, verifiable real-world market data.

“Supported by Chainlink’s robust infrastructure, XAUm embodies the convergence of the intrinsic value of gold and blockchain-native agility.  Together with partners like Chainlink, we are building the foundational infrastructure for a modernized capital market, where real-world assets like gold can move with the speed, transparency, and interoperability that the future of finance demands.” — Eva Meng, Head of Matrixdock.
