Diamond Standard creates a novel, investable, and tradeable asset class through the tokenization of real, investment-grade IGI (International Gemological Institute) and GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified diamonds. 

‍

These commodities are investment products combining real diamonds with digital blockchain technology. They offer investors a standardized unit of diamonds in the form of “Coins” and “Bars.” These can be traded for liquidity or held as investments secured by both the physical commodity and the immutable Hedera blockchain.

‍

Each Coin and Bar contain an equivalent, optimized set of natural diamonds that add up to the same geological scarcity of carat weight, color, and clarity. Every sample and every commodity are public, and are designed to trade in lockstep market price.

‍

Inside each asset is a military-grade wireless (NFC) encryption chip, enabling authentication, instant transactions, and remote audit.

‍

Diamond Standard seeks to provide investors with a secure and accessible way to invest in diamonds at convenient, lower entry point via digital tokens called “Carats” issued from physical commodities.

MetaStable is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that aims to provide a secure, private, and compliant environment for trading synthetic assets. The company is focused on leveraging advanced cryptographic techniques to solve some of the key challenges in the DeFi space, such as high slippage, impermanent loss, and regulatory uncertainty.

‍

The core of MetaStable's service is its Automated Market Maker (AMM), which is designed to facilitate the trading of synthetic assets with minimal price impact. A key feature of the platform is its use of Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), which allows for the verification of transactions without revealing the underlying data. This provides a high degree of privacy and confidentiality for users. The platform also includes a "DeFi Firewall," a proprietary technology that helps to ensure regulatory compliance by preventing illicit funds from entering the ecosystem.

‍

MetaStable’s "chain-agnostic" design and support for EVM-compatible DLTs allows it be interoperable with various networks including the Hedera blockchain.
