The Gold project is a dynamic ecosystem comprising multiple products and contributors. Each product fulfills a specific purpose, and every contributor adds unique value to their respective areas. The entire ecosystem is governed in a completely decentralized manner through a Service Nervous System (SNS), a DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP).
A high-level overview of all products and contributors is depicted in the figure below.
The following sections will delve into the details of the products and their respective contributors, illuminating the driving forces behind this ambitious and innovative project.
Contributors
The Gold project is a collaboration between various entities and contributors, some in active roles and others in passive roles providing services for the success of the project. The list below highlights the active contributors and is in alphabetical order, as there is no single entity who is in control of this project.
Community and individuals are encouraged to contribute to the project. Since the entire Gold project is governed by the decentralised SNS, everyone with a stake in the governance is able to make valuable contributions. Contributors can either make active contributions via code or product additions or take part in the governance and be rewarded in OGY or other tokens from future revenues of the stablecoin or other projects within the SNS.
DAO-link is the decentralised entity that issues the Gold DAO.
Gold issuer are the entities who are using the ORIGYN NFT protocol to issue the GLD NFT. They need to be FINMA regulated, act as a custodian to the physical gold and provide the necessary means for holders of GLD NFT to redeem their physical gold from the vaults.
ORIGYN Foundation is the foundation behind the ORIGYN protocol. It is the main contributor to the ORIGYN NFT standard that is running the perpetual marketplace of the GLD NFT. In addition, ORIGYN has donated 500m OGY to the Gold SNS in form of an ORIGYN neuron to increase adoption of the ORIGYN Protocol as a real-world-asset (RWA) certification platform. Participants of the Gold SNS will receive the staking rewards of this neuron.
Bity Gold is the NFT marketplace that provides the frontend to the GLD NFT. It also supplies the technology to facilitate continuous buying and selling of GLD NFT from and to Bity Gold. With the ever changing regulatory landscape, Bity Gold also provides the necessary framework to perform KYC (Know-Your-Customer) procedures on traders of the GLD NFT.
