Offer both custodial and self-custody options from the same integration. Some users want managed simplicity; others want direct control. GRAIL lets you serve both without building two systems.
Start with basic gold purchases. Expand to savings products, yield offerings, credit services, or rewards programs as your users mature. The infrastructure scales with your roadmap.
You don’t need to run nodes, manage validators, or understand blockchain internals. The API abstracts complexity—you make REST calls, we handle on-chain execution.
Custodial user funds are protected at the smart contract level. Your operational mistakes can’t accidentally drain user balances—the program won’t allow it.
Users hold their own keys and control their own assets. You provide the platform and KYC; they maintain sovereignty. Trust is distributed, not concentrated.
Gold ownership is underrepresented in fintech. Most apps offer stocks, crypto, maybe cash accounts. Gold is differentiated—and GRAIL makes it easy to add.
Self-custody gold tokens are portable. Users can take their gold into DeFi—lending, liquidity provision, collateral. You become a gateway to a broader ecosystem.
