The revolution of cryptocurrency is amazingly spreading like wide fire and has been gaining a remarkable level of acceptance.

INTRODUCTION:

A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses strong cryptography to secure financial transactions, control the creation of additional units, and verify the transfer of assets. Cryptocurrencies are a kind of alternative currency and digital currency (of which virtual currency is a subset). Cryptocurrencies use decentralized control as opposed to centralized digital currency and central banking systems.

While this revolution is gaining wide acceptance, Gemera blossoms as a crypto-token backed by Colombian emeralds that provides stored in security defaults of safe deposit box companies. The project offers an innovative and modern investment opportunity, more profitable, accessible, democratic and transparent, by connecting producers and investors through the advantages of being granted by the blockchain technology, producing in that manner win-win benefits for these two actors.

The project will also develop a blockchain-based marketplace platform to store the information of the emeralds that back the GEMERA tokens in a decentralized way.

As Gemera works hand in hand with emerald producers, it is also part of its politics to partner only with companies with good environmental practices in the extraction of gemstones and with corporate social responsibility standards that seek for the integrity of their workers and the communities nearby, helping them and other stakeholders to improve their quality of life and to open their path towards sustainable development. The project uses part of the project funds to achieve this purpose.

Problem and Solution

  • Problem

The main problem arises due to the long process that emerald goes through the value chain, from its discovery in Colombian mines to the final customer. This generates many problems for both the investors and the producers.

The partial and small investments are not possible where investors end up investing in high prices without any knowledge of emeralds production. There is lack of trust in the emeralds origin where investing in emeralds can be complicated and risky. Investors are lacking in the knowledge of emeralds characteristics and the value of it in the market.

Emeralds producers are also getting problems where they are receiving less than 35% of the final customer retail price because of many intermediaries. They find difficulty to expand in new market.

  • Solution

The solution where Gemera is come up with their project by connecting emerald industry with the blockchain technology. They are offering an investment opportunity which at the same time solving the problems in the Colombian emerald’s value chain. They are simply eliminating the intermediaries in the Colombian emerald’s production process through blockchain technology. By holding Gemera tokens, investors can hold the value of emeralds which is directly come from Colombian emerald producers and are stored in secure vaults.

On the other side, the information about the characteristics, certification, pictures and video of the emeralds is being uploaded on Gemera’s marketplace which includes audit results and safe deposit box company location where they are stored. This is all being done in the blockchain using Ethereum main network and stored in a decentralized way. This will help investors to invest in emeralds in a much easier way on blockchain.

Hence, by holding GEMERA tokens, investors hold at the same time the value of the emeralds that come directly from Colombian emerald producers and are stored in secure vaults. In that way, no intermediaries are needed, which translates into benefits for both, investor and producer: the first one gets incentives of around 20% of bonuses during the Token Generation Events (TGE), available also for small investments, and the producer receives up to 15% more, based on the retail price.

Gemera is a good example of the new tendency of asset tokenization. The project has the aim of strengthening Colombia's emerald production chain by connecting more directly producers and investors through the issuance of crypto-tokens supported by Colombian emeralds.

In this way, it is possible to eliminate intermediaries and procedures, which allow producers to gain more from the sale of their products, and investors to hold tokens managed by blockchain that represent emerald value, with additional benefits that can be used as a store of value, traded in exchange or exchange for the emeralds they represent.

In other words, Gemera is a tokenisation project that will turn Colombia's emerald industry better and will give investors a more democratic, transparent and accessible way to invest in rare and desirable assets such as mythical green gemstones.

Token and ICO

The tradeable token used in Gemera’s ecosystem is the Gemera token. The Gemera token is backed by 100% Colombian Emeralds and based on Ethereum ERC20. Such Emerald stones are determined by Gemera experts to ensure quality and value to all Emerald assets to be stored in physical vaults and ready to be redeemed by token holders.

The marketplace is where is where investors or token holders get to exchange their Gemeras in to its corresponding Colombian Emeralds. Through Gemera’s utilization of the Blockchain Technology, all information of the Colombian Emeralds will be stored in the blockchain and made only accessible to concerned parties. This increases transparency to the Emerald market that the traditional is not capable of doing so.
