SGRT is a contractual, non-monetary, permissioned digital instrument backed by future gold production generated under the GOLDCONNECT Initiative of the National AXIS Program in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It is intended exclusively for qualified or institutional investors through private over-the-counter (OTC) placements, subject to the applicable contractual, regulatory, and compliance approvals.
A sovereign digital currency backed by gold, designed as a medium to long-term private placement solution for accredited investors, institutional investors, private banks, insurers, hedge funds, family offices, and ESG funds seeking real asset exposure, disciplined backing, and a transparent conversion framework.
The SGRT does more than simply replicate exposure to the price of gold. It transforms gold into a more comprehensive asset: a gold-backed store of value designed for wealth accumulation; a natural annual return in the form of forest carbon credits; an economic right to primary gold production; progressive convertibility into Swiss investment gold; and digital utility via a gold-indexed payment ecosystem.
Intrinsic value
Each SGRT represents 1 gram of future gold within a reinforced sovereign framework in which 1 gram of extracted gold is supported by 4 grams of underground gold reserves. This 4:1 ratio constitutes an institutional, non-financial support mechanism rather than public debt or a government guarantee, providing the SGRT with greater asset depth and structural resilience than a simple digital representation of gold.
The SGRT is therefore designed as a medium- to long-term capital preservation instrument, backed by gold as a safe-haven asset while being integrated into a productive, disciplined, and fully traceable ecosystem.
| Reserve Component | Indicative Allocation | Function |
|---|---|---|
| SGRT Liquidity Reserve | 10% | To support SGRT conversions, partial redemptions, exit requests, SGRT/SGCT arbitrage transactions, and temporary market liquidity needs. |
| Gold Protection Reserve | 15% | To cover extraction delays, temporary mining production shortfalls, and the purchase or replacement of equivalent physical gold. |
| FCRT / Carbon Reserve | 12% | To support the redemption or offsetting of FCRTs, based on an indicative value of USD 3.00 per carbon credit. |
| Insurance / Crisis / Compliance Reserve | 3% | To cover insurance, logistics, security, audit, compliance, country risk, custody, crisis management, and operational continuity expenses. |
Through an Access Pass in the form of an NFT, the holder gains access to primary gold from the GOLDCONNECT initiative, with a guaranteed 5% discount on the market price. This mechanism should be understood as a right to the flow of production, not merely to a passive stock.
This feature gives the SGRT additional utility: beyond mere ownership, it opens the possibility of building a reserve of physical gold at a preferential price.
Starting in the 6th year, the holder has the option to convert 10% per year, until the end of the 15-year program, into SGCTs equivalent to 1 gram of 99.9% Swiss investment gold.
Each SGCT can then be held in custody, converted into physical gold in your account, shipped to the location of your choice, or split into DYME units—each equivalent to 1/100th of a gram of gold—for transactional use.
A secure, traceable, and fully integrated physical chain.
Gold produced under the GOLDCONNECT Initiative is collected, secured, fully traceable, and exported to our partner refineries.
Upon receipt by our accredited refineries, the gold is processed in accordance with internationally recognized investment gold standards, with the objective of producing 99.9% fine gold bullion bars in the standard 1 kg format, bearing the official hallmark of the refinery.
These bullion bars constitute the physical foundation of the investment gold associated with the SGRT-to-SGCT conversion mechanism.
Following refining and production, the bullion bars are transferred to and stored in a secure vault at the Geneva Freeport or an equivalent secure facility, within an internationally recognized environment dedicated to the custody, protection, and preservation of precious assets.
This framework ensures complete continuity between:
✓ Gold produced at the source through the GOLDCONNECT Initiative
✓ Full traceability and security throughout the physical supply chain
✓ Refining in accordance with international investment gold standards
✓ Production of hallmarked 1 kg gold bullion bars
✓ Secure vault storage at the Geneva Freeport or an equivalent secure facility
✓ The progressive conversion of SGRT into SGCT
The SGRT therefore represents more than a simple digital exposure to gold. It forms part of a real, structured, and verifiable value chain, linking GOLDCONNECT’s gold production to investment gold stored in a secure facility.
