About Gold
Gold does something most assets in a crypto portfolio don't: it often rises on the days everything else falls. That is the entire case for holding it. Synthetic exposure gets you the price without a vault, a delivery schedule or a custodian, and the token is usable as collateral like anything else on Solana.
How to trade XAU here
Mint L/S Tokens
Deposit stablecoins to receive paired XAU-L and XAU-S tokens.
Pick a side
Sell the leg you don't want. Keep L to be long, S to be short.
Take it elsewhere
Post it as collateral on a lending market, or trade it on any Solana DEX.
When you can trade it
24/7 on Continuum (vs. COMEX limited hours)
Gold never really sleeps: London sets a benchmark price twice a day, Asian demand shows up while New York is dark, and every geopolitical shock over a weekend arrives as a Monday gap. COMEX hours are a formality rather than the market.
What people do with XAU
The two legs
XAU-L (Long Token)
Rises when Gold does. Hold it as long as you like: there is no funding and no carry on the long leg.
XAU-S (Short Token)
Rises when Gold falls, which is what makes it a hedge. The short leg carries a volatility decay, so it is not free to hold.
