Diamante Launches a Blockchain Consortium That Promises Security to Online Diamond Trade

Cross-border trade in diamonds is a vehicle for non-diamond-producing countries to profit from the business of the gemstones. This is because even though countries like India, Israel, and Belgium are not sites known for naturally occurring diamond reserves, these locations are replete with cutters, polishers, manufacturers, and other related service providers. Therefore, before a diamond reaches the display window of retail stores in its final form, they invariably make their way through myriad necessary stops. The Diamante Blockchain Consortium has introduced a state-of-the-art blockchain platform dedicated to online trade-in diamonds that provides a secure environment crucial to conducting the business of such high value.

Diamante Blockchain Consortium and online diamond trade:

Trade-in diamonds are a significant factor in calculating the GDPs of beneficiary countries through which a diamond journeys. This obviously entails several custody changes, validation of the transactions through massive volumes of paperwork, and settlements in several foreign currencies. The Diamante Blockchain Network presents the opportunity to automate and digitize the manual labor and paperwork involved in the process.

At the core of the platform is the technology which powers cryptocurrencies. The primary service it renders is providing an immutable distributed digital ledger to record every transaction executed within the blockchain network. These transactions will be validated and recorded by smart contracts, which are pre-programmed computer protocols, reducing inefficiencies and human error. Since settlements are made using DIAM (the native digital asset of the Diamante Blockchain Network), the time taken for settling remittances is reduced drastically, and the cost incurred is startlingly low. Moreover, each step of the process is protected by complex encryption and security practices implemented by leading global banks.

The entire body of transactions within the blockchain consortium will be maintained in compliance with the terms of trade privacy, keeping sensitive data belonging to consortium members and trade participants secure and private.

Blockchain, by nature, is extremely secure. Since transactions taking place on it are done using cryptocurrency, which has a unique encrypted identity each, it is possible to track its movement anywhere within the network. This feature of digital currency nullifies the chances of fraud and double-spending. Blockchain brings to the trade participants, and the diamond industry as a whole, a never before experienced level of transparency and accountability, encouraging increased investment in the sector.

Benefits of participation in Diamante Blockchain Consortium:

The Diamante Blockchain Consortium provides a unified marketplace that brings together industry participants, including miners, polishers, manufacturers, traders, and retailers. A provision such as this streamlines these actors’ business and sets the stage for synergizing the operations in this vast-spread multi-layered industry.

Participants of the diamond blockchain consortium will have to complete their KYC documentation, after which they will be allotted a rating within the consortium determined by a predefined algorithm. A platform like this will cover trading features, including regularity of payments to consortium members and analysis of the regular trade practices.

Distributed ledger technology has enabled diamond suppliers (and intermediaries like border agents) to operate with ease and clarity, relying on a blockchain ledger. Dinesh Patel, CEO of Diamante Blockchain, said, “The process involves using computer scanning tools to access a ‘digital vault’ and to determine the provenance of the diamonds that are registered on the network.” This lays the foundation to create new efficiencies in the blockchain that would reinstall assurance in consumers that their diamond is natural and conflict-free.
