Karatcoin Tokenizes Gold Certificates
Don't Miss our ICO, it's a Great Opportunity!

Karatcoin Features

Our objective is to create a groundbreaking organization that blends the centralized and decentralized worlds perfectly. Our ambition is to create a multipurpose project destined to become a major market player that embraces constant and evolutionary growth.

No Geo-Restrictions

There are no geo-restrictions, once the gold has been turned into crypto-gold, you can redeem it in any country*. Costs related to transport and related taxes are minimized by leaving the raw material in its place of origin.

Store Physical Gold

You can safely store Physical Gold asset in vault and keep it as Gold Certificates in your wallet on the Karat Blockchain, the gold is safe from political influence and will preserve and increase its value over time.

DPoS Consensus

Fees will be used as returns for stakeholders instead of miners. This means a faster validation block time (10 secs), less power consumption and more security.

Backed by a Real Asset

Karatcoin is less volatile than other crypto-currencies because it’s indirectly linked to a real asset with an owned blockchain.

Earn Fixed Revenue

Gold Certificates are safe investments. Our Certificate gives you 2 half-yearly coupons with up to 6% interest.

Gold Mines Profits

Vote for the gold mines to be financed and participate to the active interests that will be perceived from funding given to the selected mines.

A decentralized application
to buy and sell gold.

Our goal is to build a platform to trade gold certificates, exchange Karatcoin tokens, as well as save and exchange currency using gold cards.

Our team is up to build a secure, useful, & easy-to-use product based on private blockchain on top of EOS technology. It will include easy cryptocurrency payments integration, and even a digital arbitration system.

At the end, Our aims to integrate all refineries, gold companies, and business assets into a unified blockchain ecosystem, which will make business truly efficient, transparent, and reliable.

graph

DPoS Consensus.

Karat Blockchain uses DPoS consensus (Delegated Proof of Stake) that allows for better performance, and less power consumption than any other blockchain consensus.

Karatcoin uses the Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus for quality control efficiency. DPoS allows delegated block producers and voters to sustain the network for content distribution.

The delegates are in charge of validating transactions and relaying blocks. Voters can also monitor the uptime to ensure participation in block propagation. Delegates that get “voted out” no longer receive rewards and voters are incented to participate by receiving a part of the rewards.

graph

Documents Immutability.

All transitions are stored in a public ledger inside the Karat Blockchain, and all asset documents are stored as images in the IPFS (Interplanetary File System) to guarantee their immutability (thus giving everyone the opportunity to check and verify them).

Files uploaded on an IPFS server are permanent due to their unique identifier but become persistent once the files are shared over the network and are kept in use through pinning.

OUR PRODUCTS

From our product portfolio customers can maintain a form of savings as well as an investment in cryptocurrencies. That investment is suited to their individual needs, from the most aggressive who want to trade our cryptocurrency, to the most conservative that wants to accumulate a safe-haven asset like gold. Additionally, in order to beat inflation, our customers will be protected by our Certificates that have both a fixed maturity and semi-annual coupons paid in KCG.

Our products will be available in a marketplace developed inside our blockchain, and it will also be the first to have a comprehensive product portfolio along a DPoS consensus that will allow a triple advantage in validation speed, safety, and rewards for cryptocurrency holders.

Karat FoundationFoundation

The Karat Foundation seeks to support community and civil society organizational initiatives that aim to ensure benefits are enjoyed by all miners, while also ensuring that any negative impacts are avoided or minimized.

Helping to Build
A Better World

"Working conditions are very poor, as production systems are generally obsolete and inadequate"

"Many children work with their parents in such activities as extraction, hauling ore, crushing and grinding the ore, and mercury amalgamation"

"The work done by children varies according to the type of mine from which ore is being extracted"

Côte d’Ivoire Search on Google

"In the worst cases, children are being held in slavery-like conditions"

"These children perform all sorts of low-skilled tasks, including amalgamating the gold using mercury"

"Poor living and working conditions mean that all young children are exposed to infections and diseases"

Burkina Faso Search on Google

"Unclean water and lack of sanitation and complicated by malnutrition, malaria, meningitis, measles, tuberculosis..."

Democratic Republic of Congo Search on Google

"Children in these areas are out of reach of international relief organizations and continue to risk being recruited into militias or forced to work in mines"

"In addition to being exposed to mercury, children face various other health problems, kidney and urinary tract diseases..."

Philippines Search on Google

"Children extract soil in a murky environment with zero visibility wearing crude eye masks and breathing oxygen from a tube with the help of a compressor"

How it works?

The Karat Foundation will be established in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on business and human rights, especially conducting better control and surveillance work to ensure that gold is sourced responsibly and ethically.
Election of gold mines.

DAO members can contribute by voting for projects (gold mines and profitable financial projects) they consider deserving. These votes, together with the due diligence made by the foundation's finance office, will provide for the gold mining to be managed responsibly, with substantial economic benefits for the countries and their populations. The Karat Foundation will operate autonomously supervise and check that the quality parameters are respected and will not have direct control on the operations and external works of the members.

Karatcoin Loan.

Karatcoin offers a decentralized loan product for eligible members, known as the Karatcoin Loan (KCL) through a smart contract issuing KCX (Karatcoin Blockchain Validation Tokens) with a financial term that are tailored to the needs of the purpose of the financing or the member country’s overall debt management strategy.

Monitor progress and achievements.

The foundation, in the context of its social work of facilitated finance for selected small/medium gold mining companies, will continuously monitor progress and achievements to bring benefits between stakeholders of the foundation and the gold mining companies.

Benefits

Borrowers of Gold Mine, benefit from medium/long maturities (up to 10 years), transparent pricing, built-in hedging products to manage financial risks over the life of the loan, and the ability to customize repayment schedules according to project needs or debt management requirements.

Members of the foundation will benefit of interest income from financing.

Charity Fundraising.

To increase aid to mines, fundraising campaigns will be launched through online platforms, events and conferences will be organized as well as organizing lunches and gala dinners. Karatcoin tokens will be offered as a prize for participation in individual events. Each charitable action will set precise objectives to be achieved and quantify the sum necessary to pursue this goal. If the established amount is collected, the prize offered will be extracted.
