The First Certified Blockchain Based Diamond Exchange
Our Vision To Create an Open and Transparent Marketplace Where People can Invest in Diamonds as a New Asset Class
What Is An Investment Asset Class? Merchandise Goods bought and used by consumers, excepting a depreciation in value Investment Asset Items obtained for producing additional income or held for speculation in anticipation of a future increase in value such as gold, precious metals and other commodities
What Are The Obstacles Preventing Diamonds From Becoming a Financial Asset?
LACK OF TRANSPARENCY LACK OF LIQUIDITY STANDARDIZATION The diamond industry lacks clear and transparent pricing, this makes it difficult to understand how diamonds are valued and priced. Diamonds are mainly sold to end consumers in a one-sided transaction. Can you resell a diamond in it s fair market value? Unlike gold, platinum or silver, diamonds are not fungible and each diamond is unique.
The CEDEX Solution
The Four Pillar Solution The DEX A proprietary machine learning algorithm that evaluates the diamonds listed and rates them by value (asking price vs. market price) allowing non-experts to confidently trade in diamonds Diamond Tokenization A Diamond-Smart Contract representing a diamond s ownership, gem composite, DEX Financial Data and historical trading information Blockchain- Based Exchange A trading platform uniting diamond sellers and buyers, rating all diamonds by their value and presenting all financial information required for trading The CEDEX Coin A new cryptocurrency allowing traders and cryptocurrency holders to buy diamonds on the CEDEX.com exchange and other related services on the diamond ecosystem
Pillar #1 The DEX The DEX is a sophisticated, proprietary machine-learning algorithm that adds transparency to the pricing process. Combining gemological data, diamond financial index data and global parallel trades to quantify diamond prices, categories and rank individual diamond by their asking price vs. their market price. Gem Composite (GIA) Parallel Trades Ranks diamonds by value So you don t have to be an expert to invest! Diamond Indices An alpha version of the DEX is available for 0.3-0.5-0.7- and 1-carat round diamonds at www.cedex.com
Pillar #2 Diamond Tokenization Private diamond holders/dealers who want to sell their diamonds will use the simple CEDEX tokenization onboarding process to create a Diamond-Smart Contract. A seller can offer to tokenize a single diamond or basket of diamonds and issue anywhere from one smart contract per stone to multiple smart contracts, each representing a partial ownership of the underlined diamond (or basket of diamonds). By choosing the number of smart contracts generated by CEDEX, the seller can offer for sale: a single diamond, a shared investment on a high-value stone or a diamond basket sold to multiple traders (ETF).
Pillar #3 Blockchain Technology By combining the DEX proprietary technology and the Blockchain technology, CEDEX creates the Diamonds-Smart Contracts that represent all information about the underlie diamond/s including: gem composite, historical trades & financial data. As the blockchain-based CEDEX Exchange evolves, we anticipate the diamond ecosystem will adopt Diamond-Smart Contracts as the new means of trading diamonds.
Pillar #4 The CEDEX Coin The CEDEX Coin will be implemented as an ERC20- compatible token over the public Ethereum blockchain. CEDEX Coin holders will be able to use their tokens to purchase diamonds and related services from selected businesses. Once the CEDEX Exchange goes live all activity on exchange will be using only CEDEX Coin. Demand for CEDEX Coins will be influenced by the activity on the CEDEX Exchange. The CEDEX Coin is one of the tools to create additional financial offering to traders.
Four Pillars Solves the Obstacles TRANSPARENCY STANDARDIZATION LIQUIDITY For the first time ever in the diamond ecosystem, The DEX creates full transparency. The DEX evaluates and assigns diamonds to a category and compares them to a benchmark. This resulting in a comparable and homogeneous asset class The CEDEX Exchange will create a two-sided market by enhancing both the supply and demand sides.
