Agora is a professional, non-custodial platform for trading tokenized equities on BNB Chain. This page explains what you are trading, how settlement works, and the role of the $AGORA token.

Overview

Agora lets anyone buy and sell real-world stocks directly from a self-custodied wallet. There is no brokerage account, no onboarding form, and no KYC — you connect a wallet, pick a stock, and trade with USDT or BNB. Every position is a fully-backed token that settles on-chain in seconds.

The platform is a front end and settlement layer only. Agora does not issue securities, does not take custody of user funds, and does not operate as a broker-dealer.

Tokenized stocks

Each tradable asset is a tokenized equity issued by Ondo Global Markets — for example NVDAon (NVIDIA), AAPLon (Apple), or SPYon (S&P 500 ETF). These tokens are fully backed 1:1 by the underlying share, held by a regulated custodian, and can be minted or redeemed against the real asset.

Because each token is backed by the actual share rather than a liquidity pool, its price tracks the real equity. There is no synthetic, leveraged, or pooled exposure — one token represents one share of economic interest.

Trading & settlement

To buy or sell:

  1. Connect any EVM wallet on BNB Chain.
  2. Pick a stock and enter an amount in USDT or BNB (to buy) or in shares (to sell).
  3. Approve the spending token once — a standard one-time on-chain approval.
  4. Sign the order. Agora's settlement engine converts your funds into the tokenized stock and delivers it to your wallet.

Settlement is gasless for the trade itself and non-custodial end to end — assets move directly between you and the on-chain settlement, never through a Agora account. The tokenized stock is minted or redeemed 1:1 at the time of your trade.

Custody & security

You hold your assets at all times. Agora never has access to your private keys or your balances. Orders are authorized by your signature and executed against audited on-chain infrastructure; the platform cannot move funds on your behalf.

The underlying shares backing each token are held by Ondo's regulated custodian. The token contracts are public and verifiable on BNB Chain.

$AGORA token

$AGORA is the native token of the Agora platform. Its primary utility is trading-fee subsidies and rebates: a portion of platform fees is offset or returned to users in $AGORA, lowering the effective cost of trading and aligning active traders with the platform.

Fees

Agora charges a small platform fee per trade, embedded in the quoted price you see before you sign. Network gas for the trade leg is covered by the settlement layer. Eligible fees are subsidised or rebated in $AGORA (see above).

Risk disclosure

Trading tokenized equities involves market risk, including the possible loss of principal. Token prices follow the underlying shares and can be volatile. Smart-contract, custodial, and regulatory risks also apply. Tokenized stocks may not be available to residents of all jurisdictions.
