What's live, and what's next
One product operates as a sandbox demo today. Everything beyond it is a stated plan, with the dependency that gates it named openly — because a demo build should be honest about which is which.
Built in sequence
Each phase depends on the one before it. Timelines are deliberately not dated to a specific quarter, since this is a sandbox demonstration, not a funded product with a committed release schedule.
01 — Marketplace & Project Funding
Investors browse vetted, ESG-audited mining projects, simulate an investment, and watch a mock blockchain record and Investor Dashboard update in real time. This is the full end-to-end demo flow this build implements.
02 — Secondary Market for Project Shares
A fixed-term project investment could instead become a transferable, tokenised position — letting an investor exit part of a holding before a project's funding term completes, priced continuously rather than only at project close.
03 — Physical Redemption & Vault Network
Once a secondary market model is resolved, larger holdings could redeem for physical gold delivery through a certified vault and transport network, rather than a cash-equivalent payout only.
04 — Pan-Regional Expansion
If the traceability and compliance architecture built for Ghana's ASM sector proves out, the same model could extend to other West African gold-producing regions, using this build as the reference blueprint.
Why we publish the blockers
It would be easy to present every phase as imminent. We'd rather name the specific thing that gates each one — because implying that a secondary market or physical redemption is weeks away, when the underlying model is genuinely unresolved, would misrepresent what this sandbox actually demonstrates today.
Phase 1 — the Marketplace, Project Detail, Investor Dashboard and Admin Console loop — is real and working in this build. Everything after it is a stated plan, not a promise.
