Minerals

Subtype

Definition: Crypto-assets backed by physical mineral resources or reserves with traceable and responsible sourcing.

Description

These tokens reflect ownership, custody, or entitlements to metals and minerals (e.g. lithium, cobalt) extracted under high environmental and social standards.

Example

Uranium Digital is an emerging platform built on Solana that aims to tokenize uranium as a physical commodity, enabling fractional ownership and trading through blockchain-based digital assets. Each token will represent a claimable quantity of uranium stored in secure facilities, with an option for physical settlement. Uranium, as a critical input for nuclear power, plays a key role in decarbonizing energy systems by generating baseload electricity without direct carbon emissions.
