Editor’s Note
This article explores how SMX and trueGold are using molecular-marking technology to create a tamper-proof, blockchain-verified digital identity for physical gold, aiming to bring new transparency and traceability to the precious metals supply chain.
SMX (NASDAQ: SMX) and trueGold’s patented molecular-marking technology creates an invisible, tamper-proof signature that follows gold from mine to market and back again through recycling. Each gram, or whatever weight for that matter, is embedded with a unique molecular ID that cannot be separated from the metal. After that, every step, from refining to retail and back again, is recorded on a blockchain registry.
And the industry has the opportunity to follow their lead. By embedding molecular memory directly into the gold, SMX and trueGold let jewelers, watchmakers, and investors verify authenticity, ethical origin, and recycled content instantly through each piece’s embedded digital passport that confirms its life journey.
The impact extends far beyond bullion bars and coins. By marking gold that can survive the recycling process, trueGold enables a circular economy for precious metals.
It is an invisible, tamper-proof molecular ID embedded in gold that stays through refining and recycling and links to a secure digital registry.
Does SMX (NASDAQ:SMX) claim the marker survives recycling and reuse of gold? Yes, the technology is designed to survive the recycling process, enabling traceability and identity retention through multiple life cycles.
