Gold Custody &
Issuance Framework.
A standardized, programmable framework designed to bridge the gap between physical gold custody and modern blockchain settlement networks. The framework eliminates reconciliation friction by enforcing cryptographic determinism from vault receipt to final certificate delivery.
Regulatory Abstraction Layer
Instead of forcing institutions to interact directly with raw smart contracts, Helios provides an abstraction layer. KYC, AML, and jurisdictional limitations are mathematically encoded into the allocation payload *before* touching the settlement network. This ensures gold-backed certificates can only be issued to whitelisted addresses.
KYC/AML Oracle
Continuous ingestion of identity metadata to preserve compliance boundaries.
The Three Pillars of Operation
Gold Procurement
Institutional purchasers initiate gold allocation requests via secure banking rails. The Helios Intake Engine intercepts these requests, normalizing the fiat metadata into a programmable format for custody coordination.
Custody Attestation
An isolated webhook maps the custody receipt to an internal ID, generating a cryptographic SHA-256 anchor. This prevents external manipulation and ensures the payload perfectly mirrors the vault's physical allocation record.
Certificate Minting
Upon custody verification, the Issuance State Machine triggers an immutable state transition. Validated payloads are bundled and submitted to L1 ledgers (XRPL/Stellar) for gold-backed certificate minting with full provenance attached.
