A New Sovereign Standard for Gold Integrity
In a world of synthetic value, we return to the only asset that resists forgery: mass
What is QGS?
Quantum Gold Standards is a cryptographic protocol for physically-verifiable, post-quantum-secure gold custody – available only to institutions capable of anchoring sovereign value outside the fiat system.
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
Who Can Adopt QGS
This standard is available for integration by sovereign entities, wealth custodians, and private treasuries with:
Minimum AuM $500M+
On-premises secure hardware capacity
Cryptographic readiness (HSM, zk-proofs, cold signing ops)
Adoption is by invitation only.
We do not sell custody.
We offer an immutable map of truth for those ready to live without synthetic risk.
Gold Without Hope
Hope is not a security model
Classical finance depends on extrapolation and leverage.
Quantum finance demands anchored truth.
Gold that is:
Audited by entropy
Entangled with ownership
Unspoofable, even by future machines
This is what it means to define the final standard of value.

All Institutional Documents Are Sealed and Stored Under the LQS‑Δ Standard
LQS‑Δ: A New Standard for Quantum-Grade Authentication
In a post-SHA256 world, GoldTrust introduces LQS‑Δ – Lattice Quantum Signature – Delta – a next-generation cryptographic primitive designed to withstand quantum adversaries while aligning with physical integrity.
Unlike legacy hashes vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm, LQS‑Δ is not a checksum – it is a time-anchored identity envelope:
Quantum-secure lattice signatures (based on structured modules, not ECC)
Delta encoding of state transitions ensures verifiable history
Bound to mass: every signature envelope commits to vault sensor snapshots and assay data
Non-malleable: even partial tampering collapses the proof envelope
Tamper latency < 1s with QVR (quantum-verifiable receipt)
