Real-World Deployment: The Democratic Republic of Congo’s AXIS Program
The Democratic Republic of Congo’s AXIS program provides a real‑world example of a sovereign state using blockchain for more than speculation: it combines ethical gold reserves and forest‑carbon credits to mint the Sovereign Gold Reserve Token (SGRT). Each SGRT token is minted for one gram of gold yet is collateralised by four grams of certified gold owned and guaranteed by the Congolese government; early purchasers receive a discount through pre‑ICO and ICO bonus allocations.
Holders earn carbon‑credit bonuses – one forest carbon credit is generated every year for every two SGRT –
creating an attractive yield, while conversion into ethical physical gold provides an additional 10–20 % premium.
Minted on the XDC and TON blockchains under the AXIS program, the SGRT uses Trust Signal technology to deliver fraud‑proof, compliant tracking and is issued under presidential instruction as a sovereign‑authorised monetary instrument and legal tender.
The Trust Signal architecture combines the benefits of a private chain – sanction screening, negative‑media checks and AML enforcement via FraudTrack – with the privacy of a public chain, enabling users to remain anonymous while governments maintain oversight.
World KYC’s decentralised compliance framework and a hybrid custody model provide the foundation for decentralised white‑listing and safe cross‑border payments.
Attendees will learn how this architecture allows investors to participate in the ICO and pre‑ICO, earn yield from forest conservation projects, contribute to a green corridor and convert tokens into ethical gold – proving that a monetary instrument can be both profitable and responsible.
