ORIGYN Foundation, the Swiss nonprofit dedicated to creating powerful biometric digital certificates that prove authenticity, identity and ownership of valuable assets, today announced a collaboration with Metalor to certify the authenticity and ownership of select physical gold bars.

ORIGYN + METALOR

ORIGYN’s Digital certification enables the gold industry, in collaboration with Metalor and Yumi.io marketplace, to redefine how businesses and consumers certify, transact and own precious metals. The ORIGYN Digital Certificate powers this process through unprecedented certificate storage and security, as well as the underlying non-fungible token (NFT) technology that ties physical objects immutably to asset data and digital experiences.

Metalor, one of the world’s most trusted gold refiners since 1852, refines gold in accordance with the highest industry standards. Metalor sources gold from selected countries and sustainably refines the precious metal into 99.99% pure gold bars from one of the five Metalor refineries all LBMA-certified across three continents. The end result is a traceable gold bar-complete with grading, weight, certification and sourcing information-all stamped directly on the physical asset. Now, leveraging ORIGYN’s powerful certification technology for select gold bars, this information will be securely recorded in a permanent, immutable digital certificate.

ORIGYN offers the most powerful digital certificate solution in the market, storing up to 3.5GB of data. This includes documents and technical information, as well as multimedia elements such as video, high-resolution images and entire applications.

ORIGYN Digital Certificates are stored entirely on the blockchain, meaning they cannot be tampered with, lost or falsified. They also enable a host of value-added services, including applications to engage with consumers, insurance information, warranties, lost and stolen alerts, financing and collateralization, bequeathals, proof of heritage, appraisal history, services records and more.

ORIGYN’s digital certificate continues to uncover novel use cases across industry in response to the growing demand for digital certification. In the case of gold certification, the newly launched gold project, GLD NFT, is now selling the digitally-certified Metalor gold bars on Yumi.io marketplace, increasing access to and transparency across the gold market.

The certificate for the GLD NFT project includes two high-resolution images of the gold bar, its unique serial number, technical information on weight, purity, dimension and hardness, stock audit verification from globally recognized auditors and a certificate of authenticity.

“Digital certificates have the power to transform entire industries and revolutionize investment opportunities by providing secure, transparent and accessible ways to verify ownership and authenticity. By leveraging blockchain technology, ORIGYN is at the forefront of this transformation, creating a new standard for how physical assets are bought, sold, owned and transacted,” said ORIGYN Co-Founder Gian Bochsler, who also spearheads the independent GLD NFT project. “We believe this technology has the potential to unlock tremendous value and opportunities across the entire precious metals sector.”

ESG1 Partners with GMEX ZERO13 on Trading Tokenized Carbon Credits from Emissions Removals

ZERO13, a GMEX Group initiative providing a digital climate fintech aggregation ecosystem, and ESG1, a subsidiary of GuildOne providing innovative digital assets and ESG solutions built on R3’s Corda, have announced a landmark collaboration that will create an automated digital pipeline for North American industrial carbon offsets to reach high-demand markets in Europe and the Middle East. ESG1’s V10N digital measurement, reporting, verification, and tokenization (MRVT) platform is integrating with GMEX’s ZERO13 trading hub to provide large-scale, high-integrity credits generated by disruptive emissions removal technologies.

Ensuring verified and traceable ESG data is a key part of the critical path to closing the $100 trillion climate finance gap and proving global sustainability progress, which will create a powerful adoption driver for the convergence of blockchain, AI, and IoT. ZERO13’s automated AI and multi-blockchain-driven ecosystem engages stakeholders across the carbon generation, registry, and monetization lifecycle to support a trusted Net Zero transition for governments, corporations, and ESG investment markets.

ZERO13’s multi-chain trading and settlement functionality will be leveraged by ESG1 for its private carbon tokens, powered by R3’s Corda platform, the leading distributed tokenization platform for regulated industries, and its Cardano public chain tokens. Based in Alberta, Canada, ESG1 works with leading energy sector, cleantech and verification partners to register, verify, and issue digital carbon assets on-chain, with embedded IoT device provenance and AI-facilitated analytics and reporting.

ESG1 was founded by oil & gas blockchain company GuildOne to pivot the company’s data infrastructure and smart contract technologies to meet the challenges of the energy transition. Since its founding in 2001, GuildOne has developed award-winning digitalization projects for major oil & gas players and First Nations communities, including a joint venture management collaboration with ExxonMobil, the Blockchain for Energy Consortium, and R3 Corda that was featured in the 2023 Forbes Blockchain 50.

James Graham, CEO of ESG1 and GuildOne said, “We know from our decades in the energy sector that Alberta is the leading global jurisdiction for the advanced measurement and quantification protocols needed to support true carbon market integrity and value. We’re excited to partner with ZERO13 to export these proven Canadian emissions standards to the world while collaborating on building automated, scalable, and IoT-integrated carbon markets.”

Hirander Misra, CEO of GMEX Group and ZERO13 added, “Our collaboration with ESG1 ensures buyers can digitally procure high quality carbon removal credits with end-to-end provenance and trust. This is achieved by combining ESG1’s advanced digital measurement, reporting, verification and associated tokenisation capabilities interoperating with ZERO13’s automated AI and multi-blockchain-driven trading and settlement network. We can also maximise distribution by connecting multiple registries, exchanges, digital custodians and participants.”

Todd McDonald, R3’s Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder, said, “Distributed technology can completely revolutionize the traceability and verification of ESG data, and we’re excited to see Corda being deployed successfully by ESG1. R3 is committed to enabling an open, trusted and enduring digital economy, and this use case is yet another example of Corda’s ability to facilitate interoperability between its regulatory-compliant, permissioned environment, public blockchains and traditional institutional finance.”

UN World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator and Global Blockchain Business Council Launch Initiative to Combat Global Hunger Using Blockchain Technology

Initiative Is Joined by Major Market Participants Like Accenture, Bayer, and Oliver Wyman; Sets Goal of $1B in Funding

The United Nations (UN) World Food Programme (WFP) Innovation Accelerator and Global Blockchain Business Council (GBBC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) as founding partners for their joint initiative, Food for Crisis. This initiative is supported by key organizations, including: Accenture, Bayer, Filecoin Foundation, Fleming Petenko Law, Netlight, Oliver Wyman, and Steptoe & Johnson LLP. Conceived at GBBC’s Blockchain Central alongside the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September 2022, Food for Crisis aims to raise, track, and trace donor funds, utilizing Web3 technologies to drive innovation addressing the worsening global hunger crisis. Leveraging the power of blockchain technology to improve the delivery of humanitarian support, Food for Crisis will support a more sustainable future through innovation.

Food for Crisis 9.12 – UN World Food Programme Innovation Accelerator, GBBC Launch Initiative to Combat Global Hunger Using Blockchain Technology

Communities across the world have been devastated by the global food crisis due to the combined effects of ongoing conflicts, economic shocks, and climate extremes, contributing to disruptions in supply chains and soaring fertilizer prices. According to the 2023 State of Food Security (SOFI) report, as many as 783 million people did not know where their next meal would come from. A record number of over 345 million people across 79 countries are facing acute food insecurity. This is an increase of almost 200 million since early 2020 (pre-COVID-19 levels).

Food for Crisis aims to increase awareness of the global food crisis and raise funds to urgently mobilize resources to end hunger at scale. A pilot fund of USD 100 million in donations (in fiat, crypto, or donations in-kind) is the initial goal, with a moonshot target of USD 1 billion. Funds will be distributed to the humanitarian sector for emergency relief operations and the development of innovative and sustainable solutions to help disrupt global hunger.

The WFP Innovation Accelerator and GBBC Giving, GBBC’s c3 charitable arm, are working together with the supporting organizations within Food for Crisis to develop a blockchain-based solution to provide an additional level of trust and transparency regarding funds donated for humanitarian aid. The technology will continue to be developed, with a pilot planned for 2024, in countries facing severe food insecurity in need of intensive support amid limited funding.

Bernhard Kowatsch, Head of WFP Innovation Accelerator, says, “345 million people are acutely hungry, on the brink of starvation. I believe that innovative solutions, like Food for Crisis, can attract more donors by raising awareness about hunger, ensuring efficiency and transparent results while empowering individuals with choices. WFP already uses blockchain to enhance collaboration, efficiency, and transparency on cash transfers, digitize smallholder farmer transactions, and provide insurance to farmers. The Food for Crisis initiative seeks to harness this technology for both immediate emergency relief and sustainable innovative solutions.”

Sandra Ro, CEO, GBBC, says, “It is a great honor and privilege for GBBC to partner with Nobel Peace Prize winner WFP on Food for Crisis. We believe technology tools including blockchain and digital assets can be utilized to serve the most vulnerable people and accelerate solutions to some of humanity’s most pressing and large-scale problems: acute hunger and malnutrition. We can achieve SDG 2, Zero Hunger, together.”

Using a proof of stake model and other innovations, Solana minimizes its impact on the environment, with each transaction using about the same energy as a few Google searches.

Blockpass is a user-centric digital identity verification system that enables a one-click compliance gateway to financial services and other regulated industries.

On 3-Year Anniversary, Decimal Blockchain Celebrates Key Achievements, Transition to DAO

In this article, let’s take a look at Decimal’s blockchain roadmap, achievements in 3 years, and upcoming updates.

It’s been three years since the first block of the Decimal blockchain was launched. In this article, we will highlight the key milestones of Decimal’s development and the biggest achievements.

Decimal blockchain DAO – DAO structure: NFT marketplace, DEX, stake, staking, blockchain

Development of the Decimal Blockchain
Mainnet launch date – August 1, 2020
2021: 50,000 active addresses, 50 algorithmic tokens, 12 validators
2022: 130,000 active addresses, 120 algorithmic tokens, 27 validators
2023: 190,000 active addresses, 250th position on the world blockchain list according to CoinMarketCap, 261 algorithmic tokens, 76 validators

The Decimal blockchain is based on the Cosmos SDK and Tendermint technologies. It has all the features required for integration of the Internet of blockchains (Web3.0), the DeFi sector, the global DSC update (Decimal Smart Chain) combining IBC and EVM, connecting the two largest infrastructures together.

Already at the time of its development in 2019, Decimal integrated trending solutions that many projects are implementing only now:

– Algorithmic tokens, available to any user. An algorithmically created token can be traded across the blockchain via the Decimal wallet or on the AmpleSwap DEX. And thanks to simple and reliable formulas, the use of these tokens is safe for all users.
– Voting: this allows the community to choose the direction of the project development. According to the roadmap, by the end of 2023, the powers will pass into the hands of the Decimal DAO.
– Multi-signature: provides secure joint asset management.
– Multisend transaction: mass sending of transactions is a convenient tool for marketing campaigns. Want to send your token as an advertisement to 1000 users? No problem, just insert a list of addresses and you’re done.

2020:
– The team finalized the API and SDK for blockchain developers.
– The Decimal blockchain wiki was created as an open knowledge base for the project
– Developed a page explorer.decimalchain.com/coins – rating of projects by capitalization (currently 261 projects with reserve capitalization of 315,082,977 DEL ~ $6 million)

2021:
In 2021, the Decimal team implemented:
– Cross-chain bridges in the BSC/ETH network.
– NFT with the storage of the original inside and liquidity, which allows art to be endowed not only with cultural, but also with actual value.
– Infrastructure improvement, updating of all sites and services.
– Listings on exchanges and rating agencies.

2022:

– Integration with MetaMask, Keplr, Ledger, Trust Wallet, Tangem.
– Functionality for automatic burning of part of the commission.
– The ability to burn any token or coin.
