Independent laboratories confirm specification and authenticity.
Reference valuation methodology establishes worth.
Appointed custodians take secure, insured possession.
A Digital Asset Passport is issued per verified unit.
Configurable ERC-20 tokens mint against verified reserves.
Proof of Reserves keeps token supply matched to inventory.
Verified holders may request physical delivery.
