Arowana to Launch Gold Tokenization Platform on Arbitrum

Offchain Labs, a blockchain infrastructure developer, announced that Arowana, a gold tokenization infrastructure provider, will launch its gold tokenization platform on the Arbitrum network in March 2026. Arowana is backed by Hancom Group, a Korean technology and finance conglomerate.

The project will introduce the AGT token and the Aqua platform, providing access to tokenized gold backed by physical reserves. Hancom Group operates Korea’s third-largest gold exchange with $600 million in trading volume. The new platform will focus on transparent issuance, compliance, and integration with decentralized finance tools on Arbitrum.

Users will be able to transfer and use digital gold within the Arbitrum ecosystem, including as collateral in DeFi applications. The infrastructure is designed to support fast transactions and lower costs compared to traditional gold markets. Arowana also plans to implement proof-of-reserves tools, mobile access, and custody partnerships.
