LD2 is an asset-backed cryptocurrency protocol that facilitates vaulted, physical, ownership of precious metals, and the real-time trading of those assets. The LD2 protocol functions as a blockchain-based digital warehouse receipt platform where the digital tokens minted are 100% backed by precious metals. Simply put, this means a customer buys the physical silver up-front, and instead of taking immediate delivery of that silver, receives a warehouse receipt in the form of a digital token. LD2 only sells silver, — the digital tokens are always the receipt.
