Trade gold securely in 5 simple steps. GoldChain makes it easy to buy and sell verified gold globally with guaranteed payment protection.
❶
Get Verified
Your gateway to global gold commerce. Complete our quick KYC approval process to access the secure marketplace network. We verify your identity, business licenses, and credentials to ensure you’re trading with credible partners.
What you need:
- Producer (Miners & Cooperatives)
- Trader (Exporters & Importers)
- Retailer (Refineries & Jewelers)
Approval typically takes 3-5 business days. Once verified, users gain full marketplace access.
❷
List or Search
Sellers: List your verified gold with detailed specifications like weight, purity, origin, assay reports, and your asking price. Reach thousands of verified global buyers.
Buyers: Search listings by grade, location, and price. Filter by purity, quantity, origin, and seller rating. Compare prices and find the best deals.
Smart features:
- Instant messaging with counterparties
- Real-time market pricing
- Advanced search filters
- Seller ratings and verification badges
Listings are visible only to verified buyers legally permitted to purchase.
❸
Secure the Deal
Payment is guaranteed. When buyer and seller agree on terms, the buyer deposits the full purchase price into Escrow.com, a globally trusted third-party escrow service. Funds are held securely until delivery is confirmed.
Why this matters:
- Sellers are guaranteed payment before shipping
- Buyers have their money protected until they receive and verify the gold
- No one risks fraud or non-payment
The seller cannot access funds until the buyer confirms receipt. The buyer cannot claim the gold without releasing payment. It’s completely secure.
❹
Hassle-Free Logistics
Shipping: Sellers arrange insured shipping through approved carriers. We provide integrated tracking and shipping cost estimation through EasyPost.
Verification: Buyers inspect the gold upon receipt. If it matches the listing specifications, they confirm delivery through the platform.
Documentation: All export/import documentation, customs forms, and compliance records are managed through the platform.
What happens if there’s a dispute? Our dispute resolution team reviews evidence from both parties and makes a binding determination. The escrow protects both sides.
❺
Transaction Complete
Once the buyer confirms delivery, payment is instantly released from escrow directly to the seller’s account. The seller gets their money. The buyer gets their gold. The transaction is complete.
Added bonus: Every transaction is recorded on the blockchain, creating a permanent, tamper-proof record of the gold’s journey from mine to market. This enables:
- QR code generation for end-buyers
- Consumer verification of provenance
- Complete supply chain transparency
- Compliance documentation for regulators
Sellers get guaranteed payment. Buyers get verified gold. Every transaction is recorded forever.
