Pretio Foundation
A Precious Metals DAO Treasury.
A decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) treasury transforming precious metals management through innovative tokenization, transparent governance, and strategic decentralize finance (DeFi) approaches.
Vision & Objectives
The Pretio Foundation, established under Grand Cayman law, aims to revolutionize precious metals management.
Generate Sustainable Returns
Through strategic DeFi approaches
Transparent Governance
Decentralized and inclusive
Enhanced Access
To precious metal-backed digital assets
Beyond providing enhanced access to metal-backed digital assets, the Pretio Foundation offers unprecedented transparency through decentralized governance while generating sustainable returns via innovative DeFi strategies. The foundation also focuses on expanding its treasury through strategic mining partnerships.
Treasury Asset Management
Real-World Assets
Tokenized precious metals that cover the full lifecycle, starting with in-ground reserves, moving through ore in active production, and culminating in insured bullion stored in high-security vault
Other Cryptocurrencies
Positions in leading proof-of-stake and liquidity-layer tokens selected for yield generation, diversification, and strategic alignment with Pretio’s DeFi ecosystem
Cash and Cash Equivalents
A reserve of fiat deposits, stablecoins, and short-term money-market instruments that supports operating liquidity, capital calls, and risk management
Together, these three segments create a balanced treasury designed to deliver stability, transparent growth, and sustainable returns for all stakeholders.
Token Ecosystem
RWA Tokens
Real-World Asset Tokens representing actual precious metals
COD Tokens
Certificates of Deposit representing fractional ownership
Treasury Tokens
Aggregate value of all assets held by the Foundation
Derivative Tokens
Stablecoins and synthetic assets for value creation
Revenue Generation Strategies
DeFi Participation

Governance and Growth of Tokenized Precious Metals
The Pretio Foundation leads the decentralized governance of tokenized precious metal assets, leveraging advanced DeFi strategies to ensure transparency, security, and long-term sustainability. The assets under our stewardship originate from responsible mining activities and strategic financing partnerships with Pretio Mining Group Inc. (see pretiomining.com). These assets are transformed into digital tokens through the innovative infrastructure of Pretio Digital Assets Ltd. (see pretio.io). Together, these entities power a new model of precious metal investment, one that merges physical value with the agility of decentralized finance.
