XDC THE CACAO TRADE PILOT IS PRACTICAL! | QNT Fundamental SCARCITY HYBRID Lethal Combo!

追加: 2026-05-16

[00:00:00]What is up guys? In this episode we'll be covering XDC Network and QNT.

[00:00:08]XDC Network has been innovating every chance it gets and now when you look at it, it isn't any different. XDC Network has posted this case study, the ecosystem case study tokenizing the cacao trade. I mean this is huge. There is a lot of potential in the cacao trade. How proof of authenticity and on-chain receivables connected Philippine cacao farmers to global capital. This one is interesting guys. At a glance, look [clears throat] at this.

[00:00:41]We all know that tokenization is maturing.

[00:00:44]Indeed it has matured rapidly for traditional financial instruments such as investment funds, treasuries, and credit products where the underlying assets are already structured, verified, and widely trusted. Be it commodities, shipments, receivables, they all behave differently. However, they are more defined by documents, provenance, and multi-party verification. This is where XDC Network comes into play. While trade document digitization has progressed, a critical gap has remained. Connecting those documents to tokenize financial products in a way that is verifiable, trusted, and usable in real trade finance workflows. So this pilot successfully closed the gap. Now talking about theory and practice, we often times say that the projects that we talk about, they are getting past that theory phase that yeah, they want to do this, the idea phase, the phase. The idea is already there. Now the implementation and execution part is there. And why the news like this matters, to tokenizing the cacao trade? Some people think that this is just a small segment, a small thing that XDC has done. But indeed, this is huge. These are small milestones, which ultimately leads and has a trickle-down effect and every drop in the ocean counts, basically, guys. So, we are heading for the ocean and all of these are drops and XDC network is maturing really well.

[00:02:26]Talking about the opportunity tokenization has matured, like I told you guys, it has a lot of potential, multi-trillion dollars in the making.

[00:02:34]Talking about practicality, what has transpired over here? Look at this. What this pilot did. The participants. The pilot brought together four organizations, each contributing a distinct layer of the workflow. Together, they form a stack in which physical provenance, commercial activity, financial structuring, and on-chain settlement are linked rather than siloed. So, they're not isolated, guys. They're all linked.

[00:03:02]Whatever they're doing, the the entire process is linked. So, the what is the authenticity layer? Number one, we're talking about blockticity.

[00:03:12]Issued the farm level and shipment level certificates of authenticity, anchoring provenance and trade documentation on on-chain. A distributed ledger powered authentication platform offering ASTM certified EUDR compliant solutions.

[00:03:30]Okay, and then we've got the commercial exporter, the second stakeholder, SAIC.

[00:03:38]Sourced cacao from licensed farms and consolidated the shipment tied to the trade finance opportunity. SAIC is a Philippine agricultural commodities trading and export company, which specializes in cacao, coconut, and coffee with extensive experience in post-harvest processing. And then we've got the tokenization infrastructure, the third infrastructure, guys. Now, here things are getting interesting. Provided the platform that enabled authenticated trade documents to support a tokenized receivable on XDC, Breken offers institutional-grade, secure, compliant, and scalable tokenization infrastructure that unifies issuance, and life cycle management for digital assets. And mind you, in a single solution. Now, this is what we're talking about. And ours truly is the fourth stakeholder over here, the settlement layer. A really key and important stakeholder, guys. The XDC network served as the financial railway and distributed ledger for the tokenized asset. Purpose-built for trade finance and real-world asset tokenization, XDC provided the rails for smart contracts.

[00:05:01]Just a moment here. For smart contracts to manage asset issuance, number one.

[00:05:06]Number two, the ownership. Number three, investor participation. And talking about the payment flows between parties with stable coins. People oftentimes talked about why is XDC network now interested in the payments arena, as well. Obviously, guys, it Payments are a huge part of global trade finance. So, XDC network is doing that.

[00:05:31]Asset issuance, ownership, and all that while doing it in a compliant manner, being immutable, being transparent, and what not. This is This is a huge one. This is a huge one, guys.

[00:05:44]And over here, you can see the workflow began at the ground level. Blockticity issued farm level certificates of authenticity for licensed cacao farms in supplying the crop.

[00:05:56]In parallel now, XDC Foundation worked with Briken to establish the financial layer. The authenticated COA and supporting trade documents were uploaded to Briken's platform as part of the offering setup. Now, from there, a tokenized receivable was deployed on the XDC network itself. Supported by the authenticated documentation tied to the underlying cacao shipment. Now, if this is not practical implementation of use cases, people oftentimes talk about these projects that they just brag about stuff. They do not do things on ground in the ground level. They are not practical enough. This is what really matters, guys. The connection that matters that mattered. The defining feature of the pilot was the relationship between the two layers. Rather than duplicating the data or bridging assets directly, the tokenized asset on XDC referenced authenticated records created by Blockticity. This is a meaning meaningful shift from a typical path, guys. In the path the typical pattern in which investors must take providence largely on faith. So, in a nutshell, if you look at it, each participant played a specific role in moving the process from verified cacao providence to a tokenized trade finance asset on chain on XDC network. This is the process.

[00:07:27]Number one, verifying cacao farms.

[00:07:30]Blockticity issued farm level COAs for the licensed cacao farms that supplied the crop. Number two, shipment formation. Seed core sourced cacao from those verified farms and consolidated it into an export shipment. Number three, we're talking about shipment level COA.

[00:07:48]Blockticity created a shipment level COA that referenced the farm COAs and connected the shipment to its origin supplier and supporting trade documents.

[00:07:57]Number four, we talk we're talking about issuer onboarding. Seed core onboarded to the Brickken platform. Number fifth, tokenized receivable on XDC. Uh certificates of authenticity receivable documents were used to deploy the tokenized assets on XDC. Practically, compliantly, guys. And number six, investor verification. Obviously, investor verification is important.

[00:08:24]Participants could review the authenticated records and verify the connection between the financial instrument and the underlying cacao shipments. So, this is what is happening, guys. This is a meaningful shift from the typical traditional finance pattern. This is what XDC is doing. Uh this is awesome. Meanwhile, talking about another project which is making waves, guys. Look at this.

[00:08:51]According to Steffi's crypto, Quant CEO Gilbert Verdian signals real-time cross-border liquidity and tokenized settlements which are going live with rollout accelerating into Q3 2026. Q1, Q2 uh has been a bit depressing in terms of price action, guys, to be very honest.

[00:09:12]We are undergoing a lot of corrections, accumulation phases, but fundamentally speaking, projects like QNT, they are making waves. That is for sure. And the quiet ones are building the loudest future. This is what QNT is doing. And Tokenizer over here tell us lets know.

[00:09:32]Look at this. This something I pondered on a lot during my first year in QNT and he found the answer. There are two key factors. We're talking about scarce supply side and then we're talking about smart demand side. So, think of it.

[00:09:48]14.88 million total supply, then factor in how there is only 200k QNT on spot exchanges and the picture becomes more clear. The scarcity is clear.

[00:10:01]The supply is shrinking. There is about 1.345% of total QNT on spot centralized exchanges. So, this is what we're talking about, guys. The scarcity of QNT is there and along with that, if you talk about supply and demand, we're talking about supply shrinking and demand increasing, which increases the value ultimately.

[00:10:25]We're talking about orchestrating UKRLN and GBTD in the fundamental side. It is involved in BOE, Rosalind, and Synclab.

[00:10:35]Founder of ISO TC 307 and SATP standards. By the way, I'm going to be sharing with you a video where here about the Bank of England stuff.

[00:10:45]Powering Japan's digital finance future.

[00:10:49]This is what we're talking about, guys.

[00:10:50]There is no fundamentals like this. Only a handful of projects are providing this level of fundamentals paired with a low circulating supply. A lot of projects still have a lot of circulating supply.

[00:11:04]So, the community of Quant Network can be rest assured that Quant Network can provide something of value. Now, talking about Bank of England, guys. Look at this. Danny Russell of the Bank of England said, "Adhara used time to finality in its testing on tokenized pod." Why is it relevant to QNT, guys? Because Bank of England is also involved with QNT and QNT and HBAR link. They might do something together ultimately.

[00:11:32]And as well he has highlighted interoperability as a major focus stating the future will be multi-chain.

[00:11:39]Now this is what we're talking about.

[00:11:41]The ones that are a cult that are that are maxis of a certain project of only one project should understand that the future will be multi-chain and this indeed backs up the case and use case for Q&T and link guys. So let's check this out.

[00:11:59]What people were trying to get through high throughput and really quick deterministic finality that was either having a reduced validator set.

[00:12:07]We saw that through um Hedera Tempo well on it other blockchains are available Simon.

[00:12:14]Base those kinds of well as well had a reduced set the arc by circle as well had a reduced validator set as well which obviously reduces the amount of time it takes to get to finality which have less people as well.

[00:12:27]Also a massive bit was choosing the consensus algorithm. So again one that supported deterministic rather than probabilistic finality. That was again what people used to get through and I think that is going to be a really interesting space to see over the next couple of years is how that kind of competition between the probabilistic finalities of your Ethereums and some of the other layer ones versus the more deterministic and what you need for payments is really interesting and one of the things we started to see and this is maybe what you want for the asset is different to what you want for the payment, right? Like maybe you like one of the things this is my own personal opinion right about the around the house transaction, right?

[00:13:10]I want if we if I ever had put my house purchase on on chain I would probably want the most censorship resistant highly resilient forms like the people aren't going to come knocking on the door and kick myself and my kids out, right? Do I need that payment to be there forever? No, I probably just need proof that I paid, right? I don't need the money transaction be there forever.

[00:13:30]So, maybe it is different. But, then that's when it comes back to interoperability, right? And it's really hard we talk about all of these things. Let's not make any Lord of the Ring references about the one chain to rule them all, right? And we start to get very we're starting to see lots of fragmentation in chains. And this is why again, bringing it back to the Digital Pound Lab, and also for Synchro, and also for DSS, we're focusing on interoperability, right? If the bank does not want to play kingmaker in terms of a a chain, we also think that it's going to be um a whole lot of chain environment. So, if you have a multi-chain environment, you focus on interoperability, right?

[00:14:08]Guys, projects such as QNT, uh Chainlink, HBAR, XDC, they are powerhouses in the making, not in the world of crypto only, but in the entire world of finance. They're making making headways. Look at this, QNT, a big update from Luke Riley, the Quant head of innovation. Uh fusion apps are moving fast, basically. So, there's a huge update. We're talking about internal gates uh past check checked. Next week, signer app with MetaMask, wallet connect, and KMS checked. In 2 weeks or so, testnet staking plus BYO node mainnet checked. After that, withdrawal flows and full mainnet UI UIs. So, the staking is coming and supply shock for QNT is coming as well, which we saw uh the mention by Tokenizer as well. Quant is building real utility, guys. That's for sure.

[00:15:07]Look at this.

[00:15:09]Uh Tokenizer, uh this is a comment by Tokenizer. If Quant does what they envision, I don't think it is a blow-off top. Like, I wouldn't say Microsoft had a blow-off top. They kept growing as the years came cuz they are critical infrastructure and I see enterprise DLTs such as QNT doing similar. Of course, time will tell and guys, in my opinion, when the time is right, a lot of these projects are going to be providing real value in the real world and that is what will bring bring legitimacy and credibility to the space. That is what we are talking about. Look at this. Uh we found links between Euroclear, Bank of England, and Quant before. Euroclear clear over 1 quadrillion dollars annually and now want in on tokenized finance, according to all in crypto. And the question is, will they eventually use QNT and HBAR? The answer uh is simple. Only time will tell, but to be honest, all of these projects are well way ahead of their time of its time, guys. So, what do you guys think about everything that is happening with Q QNT and XDC HBAR?

[00:16:31]Check this out. The The What do you What do you think about the the cacao trade, tokenizing the cacao trade, and what QNT is doing? I would really like your opinions.
