Gold, oil, copper.
Now by the gram,
barrel, and kilo.

For 150 years, owning real commodities meant thousands in a futures account, a vault in Zurich, or dealers with insane requirements. Arcane replaces all of it with one tap. Every token = one gram, one ounce, one barrel. Disrupt the $135 trillion dollar commodities market.

§ 01 — The problem

Owning commodities
was designed
to keep you out.

For 175 years, commodities have belonged to merchants, not people. The system assumes you have a warehouse, a vault, and a back office to roll contracts. It assumes you can buy in bars and barrels, not in bites.

But most of us build wealth in bites. We start with $200. We add when we get paid. We want exposure to the real world — gold when banks wobble, copper when the grid gets built, oil when supply tightens — without turning our apartment into a storage unit. Physical ownership comes with physical problems. It gets lost, gets stolen, sits there doing nothing while you can't easily add to it or take a little off. Access should mean you can own the asset without owning the headache.

01
Futures accounts High minimums

Built for trading desks, not people. High minimums. Complex accounts with expiries and rolls you have to manage. It was never designed for someone who wants to start with $200 and add $20 at a time.

02
Bullion dealers Hidden fees

You buy the bar, then you inherit the problems. Where do you keep it when you rent? How do you move it across the country? What if it gets lost or stolen? You can't split a coin to take a little profit, and you can't stack a gram at a time.

03
Commodity ETFs Large Management Fees

You don't own the metal, you own a ticker. No redemption. No direct claim. It's paper exposure built for portfolios, not for people who want to build real ownership slowly over years.

04
Limited hours Limited sessions

9:30am to 4pm ET. Copper, gold, and oil don't stop at 4pm. Your ability to act shouldn't either.

§ 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.

01 YOU
You tap buy

Pay with USD, USDC, or bank transfer. Token in your wallet as soon as the transaction clears.

02 ARCANE
We source the physical

The same second, we buy the physical and custody it at our facilities throughout the country and internationally.

03 CUSTODY
It goes in the vault

Serial numbers on-chain. Audited quarterly and reported.

04 YOU, AGAIN
Sell or redeem

Sell to market 24/7. Or, over the allowed amount, get it delivered 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.
