Vault custody
Diamonds remain secured in approved vaults. Custody status is reflected in the digital rail.
Tokenization program
A concept framework for bringing certified, vaulted diamonds into regulated digital rails—designed to improve liquidity, transparency, and settlement efficiency while maintaining custody integrity.
What “on‑chain diamonds” means in practice
Tokenization is not about replacing the physical asset. It is about creating a controlled digital representation that is anchored to vault custody and verified provenance—so transfer and settlement can be modernized.
Certified metadata
Certificate identifiers and essential attributes become consistently queryable and auditable.
Controlled transfer
Digital transfer rules can map to compliance, onboarding, and market participation requirements.
Milestone context
In February 2026, a UAE initiative was publicly described as securing and tokenizing over $280M worth of certified polished diamonds,
representing one of the largest luxury RWA tokenization efforts disclosed to date (details subject to approvals and program terms).
Where this goes
Designed pathways for issuance, partner onboarding, and potential secondary-market participation.
Phase 1
Primary issuance
Token issuance linked to vaulted diamonds, with certificate alignment and audit trail.
Phase 2
Partner rails
Custody + compliance integration, onboarding workflows, and reporting posture.
Phase 3
Trading pathways
Secondary participation frameworks (subject to regulatory approval and program terms).
