The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the richest countries on Earth, with $24 trillion in mineral resources, vast tropical forests, and the majority of Africa’s freshwater reserves. Yet paradoxically, 75% of its people live in poverty.
The AXIS Program, led by the Fonds Social de la République Démocratique du Congo (FSRDC) in partnership with Phoenix Capital BV and Winstant Ltd, was created to change this reality.
WinstantGold is the official digital platform of AXIS, designed to transform Congo’s sovereign natural wealth into inclusive, sustainable finance.
Through blockchain innovation, WinstantGold tokenizes ethical artisanal gold and other community resources, ensuring that value flows directly back to the people, while creating a stable, secure, and globally tradable asset.
The Sovereign Gold Reserve Token (SGRT) is a decentralized digital monetary instrument, issued under presidential authority, and regulated by the Central Bank of Congo.
- Economic Sovereignty: Shift wealth from foreign-controlled mining to community-driven development.
- Poverty Reduction: Financing food security, jobs, education, and healthcare.
- Sustainable Future: Linking finance to carbon credits and ecosystem preservation.
- Trustworthy: Gold-backed, state-guaranteed, audited, and regulator-supervised.
- Stable: Pegged to gold rather than volatile speculation.
- Liquid & Convertible: Redeemable into physical gold, digital gold (SGCT), or stablecoins.
- Combines gold with climate-positive finance.
- FCRTs ensure every token supports carbon capture and reforestation.
- A global model for #BlockchainForGood.
Hervé Lacorne is the driving force behind WinstantGold. With over 30 years of experience pioneering innovation in global payments and trade finance, Hervé is a recognized leader at the intersection of banking and decentralized finance.
