Gold Standard DAO | Creating a Sustainable Platform with Dynamic Taxation and Gold Standard

Published

5 years ago

on

Gold Standard DAO is cruising high after partnering with LODE and completing its first presale. A sustainable tokenomics and tax structure followed by the highly successful presale to create a solid foundation for the platform to build further, Gold Standard DAO or GSDAO aims to leverage the stability of gold and help people secure their money, making it immune to market fluctuations and disturbances. The users will buy the $GSD token, but the tokens will be backed by real physical gold kept safely in special vaults. The project is launching soon, public sale followed by mainnet launch will take place within Q1 2022.

A Solution for Trading in Gold

Gold trading and investing against the metal has its issues, which the Gold Standard aims to solve. It decentralizes the entire system and turns it into a self-governing environment leaving out the policymakers from deciding the fate of the value of gold at any point.

No Centralized Authority

With the Gold Standard DAO, gold does hold its dynamism in terms of price, but it happens without the intervention of any single centralized authority. With GSDAO and blockchain integrated into this system, users enjoy more control over their investment and enjoy a better outcome.

As more users add tokenized gold in the treasury, the total value locked (TVL) increases, and the Annual Percentage Yield (APY) drops. When people sell from the treasury, it creates a dynamic impact leading to an increase in the APY, attracting more investment. This stabilizes the system and prevents it from going up and down too much. 

Working Of GSDAO

Each $GSD token is backed by 1 milli-ounce of tokenized gold in the treasury. The platform’s protocol is created in a way that the $GSD’s fair traded value is more than the intrinsic value of gold kept safely in the vaults.

Minting New $GSD Tokens

New $GSD tokens will be minted only when there is enough bullion to support the new tokens. This will make sure that there is no unwarranted minting of the tokens that can easily reduce the price by way of supply and demand disequilibrium. The Gold Standard DAO will launch within Q1 2022 on Avalanche initially then migrate to the Syscoin network when the Syscoin layer 2 is ready in a few months.

Bonds and Staking on GSDAO

Staking is a primary activity users can undertake to earn more $GSD. The $GSD tokens can be staked to earn rebase rewards, which in turn, comes from the bond sales. The users will stake $GSD in the predetermined protocol, and they will be rewarded according to the rates set by the monetary policy.

Introducing Dynamic Buying and Selling Tax

The selling tax is implemented to ensure the balance in the ecosystem, preventing losses for the investors even after some users decide to pull back their investments after profits. As it’s a decentralized system, Gold Standard DAO cannot stop the participants from withdrawing their contributions.

So, a better way around is to introduce a tax that will feed the withdrawn portion back into the system. The purpose is to ensure that users have the freedom to decide what they wish to do with their investment while maintaining the treasury health. 

How will the Buy and Sell Tax Be Implemented?

Both types of taxes are there to protect the treasury health. The sell tax will increase when the price falls while decreasing the buy tax. Both types of taxes are dynamic and will adjust according to the position and health of the platform. 

When the buy tax is less, it will incentivize buying, bringing more investors as some have decided to leave. 

Key features:

Gold Standard DAO has worked to build and run sustainable plus longevity-oriented protocol. GSDAO further aims to innovate and evolve its protocol and its functioning by expanding the treasury asset options. 

Interest Bearing Tokens: 

In addition to digital Gold (AUX), the protocol will allow the acceptance of Interest Bearing Tokens into the treasury. Interest bearing assets are fully collateralized representations of their own respective cryptocurrencies while at the same time providing users with a base interest rate just by holding them. 

NFT Auction:

The plan is to organize weekly / fortnightly NFT auctions with NFTs created by a few renowned artists to strengthen the treasury. These NFTs should be unique and very limited. Participants can only bid on the NFTs by using $GSD tokens. A big percentage of the $GSDs raised from the NFTs will go straight to the treasury. The idea is to incentivise purchasing of $GSDs and increase buying pressure while benefiting the treasury.

More innovative features will be added to the protocol to introduce additional use cases to benefit the treasury and protect the project against inflation.

Partnerships

To provide the required momentum to the entire system, GSDAO has partnered up with LODE and Syscoin Foundation.

LODE

LODE is an audited/registered Swiss corporate legal entity and is the primary supplier of AUX digital gold to the GSDAO treasury. Each AUX coin is backed by one milligram of 99.99% investment grade, vaulted and insured gold bullion. LODE then mints each AUX Coin and sells those coins into the global marketplace for sending, spending, trading, and storing value. 

Syscoin Foundation

The Syscoin network is a decentralized and open source project founded in 2014 by the founders of Blockchain Foundry. Syscoin’s value is in its security, speed and close ties to the Bitcoin codebase with scalability in mind and flexibility of the Ethereum chain.

Conclusion

Working on the principles of DAO, the Gold Standard DAO takes an innovative turn and will become the first platform of its kind on Syscoin. The users buying the $GSD token will get an assurance for their investment via real physical gold pegged to the tokens and reserved in vaults across the globe. The users will benefit from a new smart chain along with enjoying a stable currency platform getting assured returns on their investments.The Gold Standard DAO is set to launch within Q1 2022, exact dates will be announced on its website and social media platforms.

RWA WEEK Singapore Announces New Wave of Institutional Speakers as October Event Draws Closer

Published

1 week ago

on

October 6, 2026

By

Singapore, October 6, 2026 — With less than a month to go until RWA WEEK Singapore, the organizers have announced a new wave of confirmed speakers and further details of the week-long program, which will bring together leading institutional investors, regulators, financial infrastructure providers, asset managers, family offices, blockchain founders, and Web3 companies in Singapore from October 5–9, 2026.

RWA WEEK Singapore is set to become one of the region’s key gatherings focused on the rapidly developing real-world asset tokenization economy, bringing together the traditional financial sector and the global digital asset industry at a time when institutional interest in tokenized assets continues to accelerate. The five-day program will feature a series of high-level events, curated investor meetings, private networking opportunities, and institutional discussions culminating in the flagship RWA Summit Singapore on October 9 at Marina One West Tower.

The RWA WEEK program will open on October 5 with THE DEALFLOW, a dedicated gathering for investors, asset managers, family offices, and capital allocators focused on curated networking, investment opportunities, and deal-making. The event is co-hosted by KundaBox. On October 6, TOKENISED VIP Singapore will bring together a highly curated group of institutional investors, RWA SUMMIT speakers, financial institutions, asset managers, family offices, founders, and senior digital asset executives for discussions around real-world tokenization use cases and institutional blockchain adoption. The week will culminate with RWA Summit Singapore on October 9, bringing together the wider RWA ecosystem for a full day of discussions, insights, networking, and business opportunities. The flagship summit is expected to attract more than 1,500 attendees, over 70 speakers, and upwards of 200 investors shaping the future of asset tokenization.

The organizers have also announced a new group of confirmed speakers who will join the previously revealed lineup. The latest additions include Adriel Wong, Head of Private Sector – APAC at TRM Labs; Yalini Isweran, Executive Director, Innovation Strategy at DTCC Digital Assets; Huong T Tran, Founder & Managing Partner at 6igma Ventures; and Melody He, Co-Founder & Partner at Spartan Group; Charles d’Haussy, CEO at dYdX Foundation; Pei Chen, CEO of Theoriq; Peter Kadish, Managing Director at LynxCap Investments. 

The new speakers bring together expertise spanning financial regulation, institutional policy, financial market infrastructure, blockchain intelligence, investment, venture capital, decentralized infrastructure, and digital asset adoption. Their participation further strengthens the institutional focus of the Singapore edition as the RWA sector moves from early experimentation toward practical implementation across global financial markets.

They join an already strong lineup of confirmed speakers, including Yat Siu, Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands; Viv Diwakar, Head of Foundation at Canton; Edwin Mata, Co-Founder & CEO at Brickken; Julian Kwan, Co-Founder & CRO at IXS; 

The growing speaker lineup reflects the broader evolution of the RWA market, where conversations are increasingly moving beyond the concept of tokenization itself toward the infrastructure, regulation, compliance, liquidity, custody, investment structures, and institutional frameworks required for tokenized assets to scale. The presence of senior representatives from organizations such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore, DTCC Digital Assets, and TRM Labs highlights the growing intersection between traditional financial infrastructure and the digital asset ecosystem.

RWA WEEK has also continued to expand its network of strategic partners supporting the Singapore edition. LYNXCAP Investments, dYdX, InvestaX, GeoTicker, Pharos and Theoriq are among the strategic partners of RWA WEEK Singapore, while TRM Labs joins the program specifically as Co-Host of TOKENISED VIP Singapore. The event is produced by UVECON.VC, a company of UVC GROUP.

RWA WEEK has established a growing international presence across major financial and digital asset hubs including Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Seoul, and Singapore. Previous editions of RWA Summit have attracted hundreds of participants and leading voices from finance, digital assets, investment, and regulation. The Hong Kong edition welcomed more than 750 attendees and over 50 speakers, while the Dubai edition brought together representatives from leading Web3 companies, investment funds, exchanges, and regulatory organizations.

Singapore represents a particularly important destination for the next edition of RWA WEEK given the city’s position as a global financial center and its role in the development of digital asset regulation, financial innovation, and institutional blockchain infrastructure. As banks, asset managers, investment firms, and technology companies increasingly explore tokenized funds, securities, private credit, real estate, and other real-world assets, Singapore is emerging as one of the key markets where traditional finance and blockchain-based infrastructure are converging.

“We are witnessing the RWA market transition from experimentation to real institutional integration,” said Ivan V. Ivanov, Co-Founder of UVECON.VC, UVC GROUP and RWA WEEK. “RWA WEEK is designed to bring together the different sides of this market — institutional capital, financial infrastructure, regulators, technology providers, and Web3 innovators — and create an environment where meaningful partnerships, capital allocation, and real-world tokenization use cases can emerge. The strength of the Singapore lineup demonstrates how quickly this sector is developing.”

With only weeks remaining before RWA WEEK Singapore, preparations for the event are now entering their final stage. Interest from institutional participants, investors, founders, and industry professionals continues to build as the October program approaches, with attendees encouraged to secure their access ahead of the event.

RWA WEEK Singapore will take place October 5–9, 2026, with RWA Summit Singapore taking place on October 9 at Marina One West Tower.

Blockchain

Orochi Network (ON) Builds the Verifiable Data Layer for Web3 as zkPass Partnership and 49-Chain Expansion Signal Growing Infrastructure Reach

Published

3 months ago

on

July 23, 2026

By

Orochi Network has been doing one of the harder things in crypto: building serious cryptographic infrastructure and waiting for the market to care. The wait is beginning to pay off. ON is currently trading around $0.119, up 96.24% from its all-time low of $0.06074 reached on February 10, 2026, with a market cap of approximately $17.2 million and a 24-hour trading volume of $6.7 million. The token sits 72.6% below its all-time high of $0.416 from October 2025 — but the direction of travel over the past five months has been consistently upward from the February floor.

Orochi Network operates as a blockchain-agnostic and proof-system-agnostic Verifiable Data Infrastructure, using three core cryptographic primitives — Zero-Knowledge Proofs, Fully Homomorphic Encryption, and Trusted Execution Environments — to make data operations trustless, provable, and private. That three-layer cryptographic stack is what separates Orochi from single-mechanism privacy protocols — it doesn’t bet on one cryptographic approach, it deploys all three depending on what each specific use case requires.

The Product Suite That’s Already Running

Orochi’s flagship product, zkDatabase, is the world’s first provable NoSQL database. Every data query generates a Zero-Knowledge Proof automatically, enabling auditors, regulators, and smart contracts to verify data correctness without ever accessing sensitive content. For enterprise and institutional use cases — financial compliance, healthcare data, government records — the ability to prove data integrity without revealing the underlying data is the precise capability that has prevented blockchain adoption in regulated industries. zkDatabase solves that at the infrastructure level.

Orand provides a Verifiable Random Function for trustless randomness, while Orocle delivers verifiable oracle feeds without relying on trusted nodes. The oracle market is dominated by Chainlink, but Orochi’s verifiable oracle approach — where every feed is accompanied by a cryptographic proof of origin rather than relying on a reputation-based trusted node network — offers a technically differentiated alternative that’s gaining traction in ZK-native ecosystems where proof composability matters.

Orand and Orocle services are integrated across 49-plus blockchains, while zkDatabase has been adopted by 20-plus blockchains. Cross-chain infrastructure that runs on 49 networks without being tied to any single chain’s success or failure is a meaningful structural advantage — especially as the multi-chain landscape continues to fragment.

The zkPass Partnership and Verifiable Identity

The collaboration with zkPass — building a new foundation for verifiable, privacy-protected data in Web3 — is among the more strategically aligned partnerships in Orochi’s ecosystem. zkPass handles identity verification through zero-knowledge proofs, allowing users to prove attributes about themselves without revealing underlying credentials. Orochi’s verifiable data infrastructure is the natural complement — once identity is verified, every subsequent data interaction that user has on-chain can be provably correct through Orochi’s zkDatabase layer.

That combination of verifiable identity and verifiable data integrity represents the foundational stack that regulated Web3 applications — particularly in RWA tokenization, DeFi compliance, and institutional finance — have been waiting for.

Backed by over $20 million in funding from the Ethereum Foundation, Mina Protocol, Web3 Foundation, and BNB Chain alongside leading venture capital firms, Orochi has grown to support 145-plus partners with more than 160 million transactions processed to date. Grants from protocol foundations rather than purely venture capital is a meaningful signal — it indicates that other blockchain ecosystems view Orochi’s infrastructure as genuinely valuable to their own development rather than simply making a financial bet.

The Supply Structure Worth Understanding

Only 14.4% of the 1 billion maximum ON supply is currently circulating — 144.28 million tokens — with a fully diluted valuation of approximately $81.3 million against the current $17.2 million market cap. With 85.6% of total supply still locked, ON is operating in a very early distribution phase. The gap between FDV and market cap implies either that the market believes the supply will create significant dilution pressure as it unlocks, or that adoption hasn’t yet reached the scale needed to justify the full supply value.

The Binance Alpha and Binance Alpha Airdrops tags on CoinMarketCap reflect a listing pathway that has brought broader retail attention to ON beyond its core technical audience. A trading call citing 25x leverage entry zones on KCEX reflects the speculative layer that sits above the infrastructure fundamentals — ON attracts both audiences simultaneously, which amplifies volatility in both directions.

Orochi’s 2026 goal is to solidify its position as the foundational verifiable data layer for Web3 and institutional finance, scaling zkDatabase, zkDA Layer, Orocle, and Orand modules across global markets to enable secure, auditable data infrastructure for RWA, stablecoins, AI, DeFi, and more. That ambition is coherent and directionally aligned with where institutional Web3 capital is flowing. A $17 million market cap for infrastructure already running on 49 chains with Ethereum Foundation backing is either a significant market oversight or a fair reflection of how early the verifiable data layer category still is.
