Metal Verification Network

Verified metal reserves. Proof, not paperwork.

Overview

The Metal Verification Network (MVN) is the infrastructure layer that enables continuous, cryptographic verification of physical metal holdings without exposing the underlying vault or inventory.

  • 04-raremetal-as-a-service.md — RMaaS framework
  • 05-key-features.md — Feature overview and current status

Key Features

• Continuous attestation on custodian-chosen cadence
• Privacy-preserving proof without vault exposure
• Automated + human-reviewed verification
• Network-wide double-pledge detection
• Claim-specific proofs (possession, ownership, aggregate value)

Verification Flow

1. Custodian submits evidence (photos, weight, purity)
2. Automated + human review of authenticity and consistency
3. Hashes anchored publicly; evidence remains private
4. Anyone can verify without seeing vault details

Status

Early-stage system. See Key Features for details on current limitations and roadmap.
