precious metal Tokenization
Tokenize Precious Metals. Verify Provenance. Trade by the Gram.
Precious metals investment has been gated by storage logistics, high minimums, and opaque supply chains. DALP delivers compliant, asset-backed tokenization with verified custody and gram-level fractionalization.
legacy infrastructure
Precious metals investment is stuck in the physical era
High Barriers to Entry
Traditional precious metals investment requires purchasing physical bars, arranging insured storage, and managing logistics. These minimums exclude retail and smaller institutional investors entirely.
Provenance Verification Complexity
Responsible sourcing compliance (compliance modules configurable for responsible sourcing standards Guidance) demands manual chain-of-custody documentation. Each transfer requires verification against sourcing standards — a process that is paper-heavy, error-prone, and costly.
Slow Settlement and Custody Friction
Physical metal trades settle T+2 to T+5. Custody transfers require vault operators to physically verify, move, and reconcile holdings — adding days and operational overhead to every transaction.
thats why we built dalp
One platform. Five pillars. Complete fund lifecycle.
Deploy tokenized fund units with configurable subscription terms, fee structures, and external data feeds (via the Feeds system) for pricing inputs. Fractional units lower minimum investments from $100K+ to levels accessible to a broader investor base — expanding distribution without additional intermediary infrastructure.
Ex-ante enforcement validates every subscription and transfer against investor eligibility, accreditation status, and jurisdictional rules before execution. 12 compliance module types model complex multi-jurisdictional requirements — EU MiCA, Singapore MAS, UK FCA, Japan FSA — without post-trade remediation.
Key Guardian provides enterprise-grade key management with maker-checker approvals, RBAC, and HSM compatibility. Bring-your-own-custodian integrations (Fireblocks, DFNS) maintain existing custodian relationships — DALP orchestrates custody policy, it does not act as a custodian.
Atomic DvP ensures fund unit subscriptions and redemptions settle with both asset and cash legs completing together, or reverting together. No counterparty risk. No reconciliation gaps. T+0 settlement finality.
Automated lifecycle operations — dividend distributions, management fee collection, performance fee calculations, and final redemptions — execute programmatically across the fund's entire lifecycle. This is the operational capability most platforms lack entirely.
