Honest Money Requires Honest Standards

Behind every lasting financial system is a trusted standard.The Gram Gold Standard Foundation (GGSF) defines the global framework for gold-based transactions — ensuring that every GG (GramGold) coin and every wallet in the network meets one universal protocol.

The Purpose of the Standard

Building the Foundation of a Gold-Based Economy

Modern money is unstable because its standard is imaginary. The Gram Gold Standard Protocol (GGSP) replaces trust in paper promises with measurable, verifiable gold ownership. The protocol ensures that all coins, wallets, and participating entities follow a single global rulebook — so that one GramGold (GG) always equals one gram of fine gold, no matter where it’s minted or used.

Who We Are

Defined by Principles, Protected by Process

The Gram Gold Standard Protocol (GGSP) is the rulebook that defines how every GG coin, MGG unit, and digital registry works. It guarantees global consistency, authenticity, and fairness — ensuring that one gram of gold means the same everywhere.
To maintain integrity and prevent misuse, the complete technical specifications are shared only with accredited partners under certification and confidentiality agreements. The Foundation may amend, delay, or withhold technical details where necessary to protect security, anti-counterfeit measures, or proprietary methodologies.

What Is Publicly Available

Everyone can access a conceptual overview of the standard, which outlines:

Core principles:

transparency, durability, and — most important of all — local custody of gold.

Units of value

GG (GramGold) and mGG (MilliGramGold).

Standard purity

22K crown gold (91.67%) for circulating coins.

Verification model:

NFC-based authenticity linked to a public registry.

Certification process:

how mints, custodians, and wallets are accredited.

Interested in participating as a mint, custodian, or technical implementer?

Complete the Accredited Partner Application to receive access to full GGSP documentation once vetted and approved.

Access is granted following eligibility review, security verification, and formal approval by the Foundation.

Request Access

To maintain the integrity and reliability of the Gram Gold Standard, certain technical materials are reserved for accredited partners.

Licensed goldsmith vendors, custodians, and technology providers may request access through a formal approval process.

This ensures that every GG-minted coin and digital wallet follows the same verified, tamper-resistant standard — protecting users and preserving trust across the ecosystem.

Public Transparency

While the full protocol remains controlled, the Foundation publishes summaries, updates, and audit outcomes to maintain public trust. Every change to the GGSP undergoes community review, legal assessment, and independent oversight.

The Gram Gold Standard Foundation believes transparency builds trust — and controlled disclosure preserves security.

Both are essential to protecting honest money.

    Make a Contribution

    Help fund the formation of the Foundation and the early awareness campaigns.

    Volunteer Your Expertise

    Even before registration, professionals can help with:

    The Foundation’s Role

    Neutral, Transparent, and Global

    The Gram Gold Standard Foundation (GGSF) is an independent non-profit body responsible for maintaining and evolving the GGSP standard.

    Its functions include:

    The Foundation does not hold gold, mint coins, or operate wallets — it only defines, certifies, and monitors the standards to ensure fairness and neutrality.

    Open Access:

    All conceptual documents, educational materials, and updates are freely available to the public at no cost.

    Governance and Compliance

    A Standard You Can Trust

    The Foundation’s structure will ensure independence and transparency:

    Governance:

    Board of trustees representing economics, gold industry, technology, and civil society.

    Public Reporting:

    Annual publication of certified mints, audits, and protocol updates.

    Decentralization:

    National chapters can form under the GGSF umbrella to localize certification.

    Legal Integrity:

    Operates under non-profit registration and public benefit mission.

    Certification and Audit Process

    How Certification Works

    Application:

    Goldsmith vendors, refineries, or custodians apply to the Foundation for accreditation.

    Review:

    The Foundation verifies identity, capabilities, and compliance with the GGSP.

    Issuance:

    Certified entities receive official codes (e.g., US–M01) and secure dies/chip templates.

    Registration:

    All minted coins are recorded in the GGS Registry before circulation.

    Audit:

    Regular reviews ensure ongoing compliance and data integrity.

    Result: A decentralized but fully accountable ecosystem — open, auditable, and verifiable.

    Global Coordination

    One Standard, Many Nations

    Each country will maintain local chapters or partners to:

    Translate the protocol into regional languages.

    Liaise with local governments and trade associations.

    Coordinate local certification, while adhering to the global GGSP baseline.

    This ensures local autonomy without breaking global consistency.

    Future Outlook

    Toward Legal Recognition and Integration

    The next major initiative of the Foundation is legislative advocacy — to gain recognition of GG coins as legitimate exchange units and achieve sales-tax exemption for certified transactions.

    The Foundation’s legal team will:

    The Gram Gold Standard Foundation exists to make real money possible again — legally, ethically, and globally.
