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.

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.

 

that's why we built dalp

One platform. Five pillars. Complete precious metals lifecycle.

Deploy asset-backed precious metals tokens with verified links to physical custody holdings. Gram-level fractionalization opens investment from traditional 100oz bar minimums to accessible denominations — expanding investor reach without compromising asset backing. On-chain metadata stores provenance data, assay certificates, and custody location.

Ex-ante enforcement validates every purchase and transfer against AML/KYC requirements, responsible sourcing standards for responsible sourcing standards, and jurisdictional eligibility — before execution. 18 compliance module types handle investor accreditation, country restrictions, transaction limits, and geography-specific regulatory requirements.

Verified integration with vault operators and storage providers. Key Guardian manages enterprise-grade key management with maker-checker approvals, RBAC, and HSM compatibility. Bring-your-own-custodian integrations (Fireblocks, DFNS) preserve existing vault relationships. DALP orchestrates custody policy — it does not act as a custodian.

Atomic DvP settlement for metal token transfers: asset and cash legs complete together or revert together. Replaces T+2/T+5 physical settlement with T+0 finality. No counterparty risk. No custody reconciliation gaps.

Learn more → 

Automated provenance tracking and chain-of-custody documentation across the token's entire lifecycle. Transaction and management fee mechanisms, and token burn/redeem mechanisms paired with off-chain delivery processes execute programmatically. Compliant peer-to-peer transfers between verified participants with compliance embedded in every transaction.
