Start Earning Yield On Gold, Silver, and Wrapped ETH
We’re excited to announce that staking is officially open to the public in the STRATO Mercata ecosystem. This isn’t just another staking launch—it’s a leap forward in bringing crypto closer to the real world by bridging Real-World Assets (RWAs), DeFi, STRATO Mercata, and now, you!
What’s New?
In just three weeks, our team rolled out staking for physical gold, silver, and wrapped Ethereum (ETHST). This liquidity provides a real alternative to the traditional financial system by putting physical assets on-chain to earn yield. Soon, you’ll see wrapped Bitcoin and more stakeable assets hitting the platform, along with a full-fledged redemption marketplace that’ll let you convert those digital rewards into tangible goods, allowing you to live on-chain.
Why Stake?
When you stake on Mercata, you’re not just earning any token—you’re earning 10% APY on CATA, our governance token. CATA isn’t just about holding; it unlocks real benefits on our marketplace, from discounted purchases to exclusive access to rare collectibles. Plus, our referral program is live, giving you a 25% bonus for every friend you bring into the ecosystem.
