Gold, oil, copper.
Now by the gram,
barrel, and kilo.
For 150 years, owning real commodities meant a $5,000 futures account, a vault in Zurich, or a dealer charging 5% over spot. Arcane replaces all of it with one tap. Every token = one gram, one ounce, one barrel. Held in bonded warehouses. Redeemable for the physical. Yours, at spot.

§ 01 — The problem
Owning commodities
was designed
to
keep you out.
The futures market was built in 1848 for grain merchants in Chicago. It has barely changed. To buy real exposure to gold, oil, or copper today, retail investors hit a wall.
ETFs charge 0.40% annually and don't let you redeem for physical. Dealers mark up 3–8% over spot. Futures require margin accounts, expiry management, and contract rolls. None of it was made for a 22-year-old with $200 and an opinion about copper.
Margin calls, contract rolls, expiry dates. Built for institutions.
Then you pay to store it. Then you pay to ship it. Then you pay to sell it.
Synthetic exposure. No redemption rights. Tracks the contract, not the metal.
The world moves 24/7. Your portfolio doesn't.
§ 02 — The catalog
Twelve commodities.
Every one, backed 1:1.

§ 03 — Mechanics
The physical world,
under the hood.
Every Arcane token has a twin sitting in a bonded warehouse somewhere real. Here's the full chain, from your tap to the vault.
Pay with USD, USDC, or bank transfer. Token in your wallet in under 3 seconds.
Same second, we buy the equivalent from LBMA refiners, CME clearinghouses, or approved custodians.
Brinks, Loomis, or Malca-Amit takes custody. Serial numbers on-chain. Audited quarterly by Deloitte.
Sell to market 24/7. Or, over 100g, redeem for physical delivery to your door.
— Why this matters —
"Retail got stocks in 1971. Crypto in 2010. Commodities — the world's oldest asset class — are still locked behind a 1970s terminal. Arcane is the key."
§ 04 — The case
Your dollars
are getting smaller.
In 2000, the US money supply was $4.6 trillion. Today it's over $21 trillion — more than quadrupled in a generation. Every dollar printed is a claim on the same finite pool of real things: gold, oil, copper, wheat, land.
That's why a gallon of milk costs what a gallon of gas used to. Why your grandparents' starter home costs as much as a small business. Why $100,000 in 2000 buys what $60,000 buys today.
Paper assets represent value. Commodities are value. When the numerator inflates, you want to hold the denominator — the scarce, physical things every currency is ultimately measured against.
§ 05 — Get in
Hold something
they can't print.
Start with one gram of gold. Or a barrel of oil. Or a kilo of copper. Early access opens in waves — waitlist members get zero spread for 30 days, $50 in free gold, and first priority on new commodities.
