    Custody

    The underlying Gold Spot is held at Flo Finance, an institutional custodian.

  3. 03

    Settlement

    XAU settles on-chain on Base, Arbitrum, Ethereum. Cross-chain transfers route through Chainlink CCIP.

  4. 04

Where XAU lives today

Flo distributes through partners. The same XAU on-chain is the asset every partner integrates against; partner UIs may relabel it for their own brand.

Partner integrations in build

No live partner is distributing XAU yet. Twelve integrations are in build across exchanges, wallets, fintechs, neobanks, and asset managers. Partners are listed here only after they ship.
