About

A blockchain built for the realities of mineral supply chains.

Madini Protocol is a joint initiative with the Africa Minerals Strategy Group (AMSG) and Verichain Technologies. It delivers a unified, regulator-recognized infrastructure layer for certifying, verifying and trading minerals from mine to OEM.

By embedding OECD, Dodd-Frank and EU Battery Regulation requirements directly into smart contracts, Madini turns compliance from a costly burden into a built-in feature — while bringing artisanal and small-scale miners into formal, fairly-priced global markets.

  • EVM-compatible Layer-1, Delegated Proof-of-Stake
  • AMSG-governed validator set across 31 African nations
  • Independent on-chain assay verification
  • Sanctions / AML oracle and KYC enforcement

The Platform

Compliance-by-Design, From Mine to OEM

01

Mine / ASM Site

On-site digital identity and lot registration for artisanal and large-scale producers.

02

Certificate Minting

Each verified lot mints an on-chain certificate with full provenance metadata.

03

Mass-Balance Contracts

Inputs and outputs reconciled at every transformation step — no double counting.

04

Nested Encryption

Encryption protects commercial data while preserving auditor visibility.

05

OEM & Exchange

Buyers verify origin, chain-of-custody and compliance status in seconds.

Capabilities

What the Madini Layer-1 Enables

EVM-Compatible Layer-1

Purpose-built, high-throughput chain with Ethereum tooling, DPoS consensus and an AMSG-governed validator set.

🛡

Compliance-by-Design

OECD Due Diligence, Dodd-Frank Sec. 1502, Swiss, UAE, Saudi, LBMA and EU Battery Regulation Requirements encoded.

🔐

Nested Encryption

Multi-layer privacy lets each participant see only what they're entitled to — without breaking auditability.

📜

Decentralized Certification

Independent Verichain auditors and certifiers issue tamper-proof attestations directly on-chain.

💎

RWA Tokenization

Fractional, tokenized mineral assets via integrated TokenX and LifeSite rails — opening institutional liquidity.

🌍

Sanctions & AML Oracle

On-chain sanctions, KYC and Chainalysis integration for regulator-grade onboarding and monitoring.

Use Cases

Built for Every Actor in the Mineral Value Chain

Artisanal & Small-Scale Miners

Digital identity, verifiable production records and fair-price market access — turning informal output into bankable, exportable supply.

Large-Scale Producers

Automated chain-of-custody documentation that satisfies regulators, OEM auditors and ESG investors out of the box.

OEMs & Manufacturers

One-click provenance verification for cobalt, lithium, copper, tantalum and gold — protecting brands from conflict-mineral exposure.

Refiners & Processors

Mass-balance smart contracts handle blending and transformation while preserving lot-level traceability.

Regulators & Certifiers

Continuous, queryable view of supply chains across jurisdictions — replacing siloed PDFs with live cryptographic evidence.

Banks & Logistics

Origin and quality attestations that map directly to LBMA Good Delivery, Kimberley Process and KYC requirements.

Institutional Investors

Access tokenized mineral RWAs, structured yield products and secondary liquidity through compliant DeFi rails.

Governments & AMSG Members

Sovereign-grade infrastructure to capture more domestic value, improve royalty collection and report on responsible sourcing.
