The Reserve Standard for the Productive Economy — backed by physical hard assets, verified on-chain, and permissionless.

Earth
Today, we’re bringing ARU out of stealth. For generations, reserve value has largely centered on gold. But the modern economy runs on copper, uranium, strategic metals, and rare earths. ARU is a reserve standard backed by the physical resources behind progress.

Three developments in this Physical Economy Brief are particularly relevant to ARU: Copper supply is getting more strategic, rare earth bottlenecks remain tight, and some of the smaller metals can move a lot just based on access. For ARU, that mostly comes down to weighting - enough exposure to industrial and strategic scarcity, while precious metals remain the deeper monetary and liquidity anchor. Our take in the ARU Weekly Brief ↓
