DiCom, short for Digital Commodity, is the term we created to define what GEM truly is. We deliberately avoid calling GEM a “token,” because that word has become synonymous with speculation, hype, and empty promises.
GEM is different. It is not a promise – it is proof. Backed by a reserve of audited, securely stored investment-grade gemstones and cash equivalents, GEM represents real-world value, brought onto the blockchain in a transparent and tradable form.
As a DiCom, GEM is not pegged to any fiat currency. It doesn’t promise a fixed value, and it doesn’t grant redemption rights.
Its price is market-driven, but its foundation is stable – rooted in tangible, independently appraised assets.
Each GEM exists because there is value behind it, visible through real-time proof of reserves. This structure ensures that GEM behaves like a commodity: it can fluctuate in price, but its floor is defined by what it’s backed with – just like physical gold or oil.
DiCom isn’t just a label. It’s a legal and functional positioning.
By structuring GEM as a commodity rather than a security or stablecoin, we step outside many of the heavy regulatory constraints that apply to financial instruments or fiat-referenced tokens.
At the same time, we offer something those assets can’t: digital access to rare gemstones, historically uncorrelated to markets, and impossible to inflate.
GEM as a Digital Commodity creates a bridge between the tangible and the digital, between preservation and participation.
It allows anyone to store value in one of the world’s most enduring asset classes – gemstones – without owning a vault, needing expertise, or dealing with illiquidity.
That is what DiCom means.
That is what GEM stands for.
