The nGRND Gold Protocol has already established several key strategic partnerships that have supported Ecosystem development and will be essential in delivering the innovative business plan described in this White Paper.

nGRND Inc. operates as the upstream land management and sustainability partner to the nGRND Gold Protocol (nGRND.io). nGRND Inc. is responsible for acquiring and purchasing Preserved Gold and securing the 30-to-100-year rights agreements from verified in-ground gold resource owners and developers for alternative land use monetisation. The nGRND Gold Protocol purchases the Preserved Gold to sustain the Treasury commitment of at least 1 ounce for every 35,000 [NGRND] in circulation. The Treasury is also sustained long-term by revenues received from alternative land use monetisation. Using 30-to-100-year rights agreements, nGRND Inc. applies its structured framework of alternative land use monetisation from measured impact against ESG and SDG targets, performed by independent third-party specialists and experts, without extracting the underlying gold resources.

The nGRND Gold Protocol then functions as the Web3 treasury, value distribution, rewards, staking and participation layer that creates the resulting nGRND Ecosystem. The nGRND Gold Protocol expands the digital provenance, treasury infrastructure, governance participation, staking and rewards systems, and broader Ecosystem coordination.

Carbon Planet operates as a strategic independent specialist and expert ESG, SDG and sustainability partner to the nGRND Ecosystem, conducting the development and verification of alternative land use monetisation

The nGRND Ecosystem partners with SECDEX, an internationally recognised and regulated on-chain digital custodian, as a strategic provenance and infrastructure partner for Preserved Gold provenance, audit, and settlement.
