SMX Launches Traceability Platform Embedding IDs in US Materials and Gold Bars
SMX•SMX introduced a molecular marking and digital traceability platform that embeds tamper-resistant identities into materials to verify US origin, chain-of-custody and recycled content for manufacturers. It also embeds invisible molecular markers in gold bars, preserving authenticity through refining, recycling and resale by linking precious metals to secure digital provenance records.
1. Platform Unveiled for US Materials Traceability
SMX rolled out its Digital Material Passport Platform to embed molecular markers directly into industrial materials, creating tamper-resistant identities. This technology links each material batch to secure digital records, enabling real-time verification of US origin, chain-of-custody, recycled content and compliance without relying on paperwork or labels.
2. Gold Authentication Through Invisible Markers
The company extended its molecular marking process to gold bars, embedding invisible markers that survive melting, refining and recasting. Each marked bar connects to a digital record that chronicles extraction, refining, trading, storage, resale and recycling, allowing continuous authentication and provenance tracking across the gold lifecycle.
3. Commercial Implications and Industry Adoption
Manufacturers can now substantiate ‘Made in America’ claims with proof at the material level, reducing supply-chain risk and regulatory friction. Jewelers, investors and recyclers gain enhanced assurance of authenticity and responsible sourcing, while brands and regulators benefit from faster audits and clearer documentation of material histories.
