A New Sovereign Standard for Gold Integrity
In a world of synthetic value, we return to the only asset that resists forgery: mass
GoldTrust’s Quantum Gold Standards (QGS) define the first closed-loop institutional framework for gold custody and verification – engineered to resist physical theft, cyber compromise, and quantum decryption alike.
Developed for sovereign-grade resilience, QGS guarantees that your reserves remain visible, verifiable, and untouchable – even in the age of quantum threats.
Why We Built QGS
The Problem with Legacy Custody
Traditional gold storage standards rely on:
Paper-based audits and trust in intermediaries
Snapshot attestations (once per quarter or month)
Lack of real-time sensor feeds or digital proofs
Zero protection from quantum-class attacks
These models were designed for analogue finance. They will not survive the computational asymmetry introduced by quantum hardware.
The QGS Response
QGS treats every gram of gold as a first-class cryptographic citizen
QGS treats every gram of gold as a first-class cryptographic citizen.
Every reserve event is:
Timestamped at quantum entropy sources
Entangled with token ownership via Merkle-Sum proofs
Archived with tamper-evident, post-quantum signatures
This is not a product.
It is a protocol-level standard for how sovereign assets should be held in the 21st century.
Layered Defense: QGS Stack
Layer | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Atomic Tokenization | GQT = 1mg vaulted gold + audit hash | Immutable unit of sovereign value |
| Proof-of-Integrity | Vault weight sensors + gamma scans + Merkle trees | Quantum-resistant audit pipeline |
| Key Security | CRYSTALS-Dilithium + FIDO2 enclave | Wallet integrity & offline custody |
| Transaction Privacy | Lattice-based ZKPs | Institution-level confidentiality |
| Network Defense | Hardware QRNG + tamper-evident logs | Finality with physical entropy |
| Quantum Anchor (2027) | QKD between Zurich ⇄ London vaults | True quantum immutability layer |
Each layer is modular, independently auditable, and interoperable with existing custody systems
How QGS Redefines Trust
Traditional Gold Custody
→ Authority-centric
→ Monthly attestation
→ Paper-based governance
Quantum Gold Standards
→ Physics-centric
→ Continuous, real-time attestation
→ Tamper-evident from the metal up
The entire chain of custody – from token creation to physical redemption – is anchored in measurable entropy, not social trust
Governance Without Borders
QGS is designed for institutions seeking a jurisdiction-agnostic, regulator-optional standard:
Trusteeship by Protocol — all minting and redemption operations require Merkle-Sum ≥ 101%
No fiat leakage — redemption is always metal, never money
Regulator-independent enforcement — cryptographic rules > legal permissions
This is how custody should work in a world where states collapse, but physics endures
