In November 2023, Tiamonds and NMKR launched the world’s first tokenized real-world diamonds on the Cardano blockchain. All Tiamonds sold out within 48 hours, highlighting strong demand for such assets.
Each Tiamond is a 1:1 tokenized representation of a physical diamond, tradable on Cardano and redeemable for the actual diamond at any time. NMKR facilitated this integration, simplifying sales and distribution. LCX, serving as a physical validator, ensured legal tokenization per Liechtenstein Blockchain Laws and securely stored the diamonds in a high-security vault in the Swiss Alps. The diamonds are insured by Lloyd’s of London and certified by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), ensuring authenticity and transparency.
This initiative underscores the growing trend of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, with projections estimating the market could reach at least USD 10 trillion by 2030, a significant increase from approximately USD 300 billion in 2022.

Do you know what staking is ? Staking on the blockchain refers to the process where participants lock up a certain amount of cryptocurrency to support the operations and security of a blockchain network. In return, they earn rewards, typically in the form of additional cryptocurrency. Staking is often associated with proof-of-stake (PoS) or similar consensus mechanisms used by many blockchains.
