A $15,000 grant winner is tackling an interesting angle in digital finance—building the infrastructure for gold-backed liquidity solutions.

The core challenge? Getting physical gold onto the blockchain properly. Standardizing how it's verified, how it's priced, and how it works as collateral has been messy. This team is cutting through that mess.

What makes it compelling is the execution angle: they're focusing on accessibility within Telegram, which means bringing liquidity closer to where crypto users actually spend time. Instead of clunky traditional finance interfaces, you get gold backing your digital assets through a platform that's already part of the daily workflow.

The matter of bringing gold on the chain, it should have been sorted out long ago... Directly managing liquidity on Telegram, I have to say, this approach is quite good.

The idea of putting gold on the blockchain should have been done long ago. Direct trading on Telegram is really top-notch.

Putting gold on the blockchain sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. Who will handle the verification, pricing, and collateral process? These people have found a solution.

The idea of putting gold on the blockchain has been talked about for years, and is someone finally actually doing it? Using gold directly as collateral on Telegram—this approach is somewhat interesting. Damn, another bonus project worth 15k. When will it be my turn? The key is whether the verification and pricing can truly be standardized; otherwise, it will just be a bunch of shit, and it might turn into the next FTX.
