Dual-state master ledger synchronizing physical pallet serials, bar bundles, and electronic vault warrants.

DIMENSION 01

Core Capabilities & Functional Scope

Globally unique serialized tagging conforming to GS1 EPCIS and UUID v4 standards
Dual-state tracking: physical vault custody state coupled 1:1 to digital registry state
Precision weight calibration recording gross, tare, and verified net weights down to 0.001 kg
Automated optical barcode, RFID, and tamper-evident holographic seal monitoring

DIMENSION 02

Technical Architecture & Cryptography

Core Processing Engine

Distributed PostgreSQL with TimescaleDB time-series vault state tracking

Compliance & Technical Standards

GS1 EPCIS 2.0 / ISO 8000 Data Quality Specification

Data Persistence

Private inter-vault replicated datastore + IPFS content-addressed manifests

Cryptography

SHA-256 state hashes chained to protocol intake ledger

DIMENSION 03

Institutional Security & Invariants

Non-Negotiable System Invariants

Electronic registry entries reference binding negotiable Swiss warehouse warrants (Lagerscheine).

Automated Circuit Breaker

Instant registry freeze if barcode scan anomaly or unverified pallet movement is detected.

DIMENSION 04

Operating Authority & Integrations

Primary Executing Entity

ReserveChain Registry Controller & Bonded Freeport Intake Desks

END-TO-END PIPELINE ARCHITECTURE

From Physical Ingot to Digital Liquidity & Industrial Delivery

How physical assets flow across all 11 infrastructure layers with complete cryptographic trace isolation.

PHASE 01 · INGESTION

Physical Asset Registry

Refiner manifests and bar serials ingest into the asset registry with dual-witness barcode verification.

PHASE 02 · VERIFICATION

Assay & Swiss Vaulting

ISO/IEC 17025 lab spectrometry ingested via mTLS; allocated into Swiss freeports under CO Art. 472 bailment.

PHASE 03 · TOKENIZATION

Passports & ERC-3643

W3C Digital Asset Passports sealed with Merkle trees; ERC-3643 tokens issued with 4-of-7 MPC quorums.

PHASE 04 · SETTLEMENT

PoR & Industrial Delivery

Chainlink oracles reconcile 1:1 backing hourly; bilateral burn triggers insured armored physical freight delivery.
