About
One of Europe's largest precious metal trading platforms engaged us to design and deliver the complete digital ownership infrastructure for physical gold bars, enabling investors to own fractional shares of physical gold and trade peer-to-peer with automated regulatory compliance.
Challenge, approach, and impact
Automated Compliance System
Designing and implementing automated compliance system for regulatory verification embedded in every ownership transfer, ensuring compliance without manual intervention.
Fractional Ownership Engine
Developing a fractional ownership engine allowing division of gold bars into various fractions, supporting both collector-grade unique certificates and standard fractional shares with audit trails.
Cost-Optimized Ownership Movements
Redesigning ownership movements batching and processing to reduce daily operating costs by 98% while maintaining compliance and ownership accuracy.
Instant Settlement Mechanism
Implementing an escrow mechanism for simultaneous payment and delivery in trades, eliminating payment risks for buyers and sellers.
Managed Investor Wallet Infrastructure
Establishing a hosted wallet system to facilitate investor participation without prior blockchain experience, with a pathway to self-custody for interested parties.
How we built
Testimonials
Marko Nikolic, Lead Architect @ DataDrill
DataDrill
“The core challenge was making compliance invisible to the investor but impossible to bypass in the system. We achieved that by embedding the verification directly inside the ownership transfer — not as an additional step, but as a condition of the transfer itself. That same architecture is what KILO needs.“
