Recent Company History

Over the last six weeks, Trust Stamp reported strong Q3 2025 revenue growth and lower operating expenses, advanced its StableKey-based Wallet of Wallets and stablecoin architecture, and secured a spot in the 2026 Trust Village program. It also launched StableKey as a response to coercive crypto attacks. Despite largely positive strategic and technological developments, shares fell after 4 of these 5 announcements. Today’s Blue Gold Wallet of Wallets LOI extends the same biometric wallet and StableKey narrative into a tokenized gold context.

Key Terms

biometrically validated, non-custodial wallet, tokenized facial biometrics, cryptosystem, +4 more

8 terms

biometrically validated technical

"develop a biometrically validated Wallet of Wallets for Blue Gold VIP customers"

Biometrically validated means a device, test, or system has been checked and confirmed using measurable biological signals—like fingerprints, facial features, heart rate patterns, or other physiological markers—to prove it works as claimed. For investors this matters because such validation reduces the chance of errors or fraud, supports regulatory approval and market trust, and often signals higher technical rigor and lower commercial risk compared with unvalidated solutions.

non-custodial wallet financial

"Serve as a non-custodial wallet for not only SCC but also as a single access point"

A non-custodial wallet is a digital wallet where the individual user, not a third party, holds the private keys that control access to their cryptocurrency and other digital assets. It matters to investors because it gives full control and reduces reliance on intermediaries—like keeping cash in a personal safe rather than a bank—but also places sole responsibility for security and recovery on the owner, so losing the keys can mean permanent loss of assets.

tokenized facial biometrics technical

"generated by the user’s tokenized facial biometrics with multi-level proof-of-life"

A method that converts a person’s facial features into a unique digital code or “token” instead of storing raw photos, so systems can verify identity without keeping the original image. Think of it as turning a snapshot into a single-use key that proves who you are while reducing privacy risk. Investors watch this technology because it can lower regulatory and breach liability, enable new security services, and drive recurring revenue, but it also faces adoption and compliance risks.

cryptosystem technical

"through a cryptosystem that binds live biometrics to the user’s wallet"

A cryptosystem is the combination of techniques, algorithms and keys used to scramble readable data into a protected form and later restore it, like a locking system that turns a document into a sealed safe and uses keys to lock or open it. Investors should care because these systems secure digital assets, transactions and sensitive records — flaws can cause theft, regulatory penalties or loss of market confidence, while robust cryptography helps protect value and trust.

zero-knowledge-proof protocol technical

"Apply a zero-knowledge-proof protocol for remote identity proofing"

A zero-knowledge-proof protocol is a cryptographic method that lets one party prove to another that a statement is true without revealing any underlying data. Think of it like proving you have the correct password by showing you can open a locked box, without ever exposing the password itself. For investors, it matters because it enables secure, private verification for digital transactions and regulatory proofs, reducing risk while preserving confidentiality.

wallet recovery financial

"Provide secure protocols for wallet recovery, joint ownership, wallet inheritance"

The process of restoring access to a digital asset wallet after a user has lost or forgotten the credentials (like private keys or recovery phrases) needed to open it. It matters to investors because access to a wallet is the only way to control the assets inside—losing access can mean losing value—so reliable recovery options (or lack thereof) affect how safe, liquid and investable those digital holdings are, much like having a way to reopen a sealed safe.

roles-based access technical

"wallet inheritance or transfer, and roles-based access"

A control system that gives employees access to company systems and data based on their job duties rather than on an individual’s identity; people get only the “keys” they need for their role. It matters to investors because it reduces the chance of accidental or malicious data breaches, supports regulatory compliance and efficient operations, and therefore lowers operational and reputational risk that can affect financial performance.

fido passkeys technical

"Be interoperable with FIDO Passkeys"

FIDO passkeys are a modern, password-free way to sign into online accounts that use a private key stored on your device (or synced securely across your devices) and a matching public key held by the service; you unlock them with something you have (phone or security key) plus something you are or know (fingerprint, PIN). For investors, passkeys matter because they substantially cut the risk and cost of account breaches and fraud—improving customer trust, lowering security expenses, and reducing liability exposure for companies, much like replacing fragile paper locks with a stronger, hard-to-duplicate key system.

Atlanta, GA, Dec. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Trust Stamp, a global provider of AI-powered trust, identity and security solutions, and Blue Gold, billed as the world’s first vertically integrated gold fintech, jointly announced the execution of a Letter of Intent for Trust Stamp to develop a biometrically validated Wallet of Wallets for Blue Gold VIP customers holding Standard Goin Coins (“SGC”). Each SGC represents a gram of physical gold held in a Brinks vault under a Wyoming digital asset statutory trust.

The Wallet of Wallet will leverage Trust Stamp’s proprietary and patented identity tokenization and cryptographic technologies and:

• Eliminate the need to memorize or store Passwords, PINs and Private Keys
• Serve as a non-custodial wallet for not only SCC but also as a single access point for all other digital assets with the ability to exist in parallel on multiple devices
• Be established and accessed via Trust Stamp’s proprietary Stable Key^TM generated by the user’s tokenized facial biometrics with multi-level proof-of-life protocols
• Introduce a new approach to biometric authentication through a cryptosystem that binds live biometrics to the user’s wallet, eliminating centralised key or template storage and without storing biometric data in the wallet itself. The system creates encrypted helper data that is divided into shards with each shard stored separately. These shards contain no biometric information or private key material, rendering them useless to potential attackers
• Be resistant to tampering even in the event of a data breach because the compromised information is fragmented and without the user’s live presence, the fragments cannot be re-combined therefore no useful information can be extracted. In other words, unlike legacy wallets, a compromised Wallet does not amount to an account takeover
• Apply a zero-knowledge-proof protocol for remote identity proofing and serving as an additional authentication factor
• Provide secure protocols for wallet recovery, joint ownership, wallet inheritance or transfer, and roles-based access
• Be interoperable with FIDO Passkeys

Final terms of the collaboration will be set out in definitive agreements governing development, licensing and commercial terms.

Nathan Dionne, Chief Technology Officer of Blue Gold Limited, commented, “Blue Gold was founded to bridge physical gold with the digital financial system at institutional standards. Following our recent announcement securing access to one million ounces of physical gold to support the initial issuance of Standard Gold Coins, the next priority is ensuring that access to those assets is governed by security and identity infrastructure that matches the quality and permanence of the gold backing them. Partnering with Trust Stamp enables us to strengthen the trust and transparency at the core of our ecosystem and positions Blue Gold at the forefront of secure, compliant, and scalable tokenized gold ownership.”

Gareth N. Genner, Chief Executive Officer of Trust Stamp commented, “We are very excited to work with the highly innovative Blue Gold team. Trust Stamp’s secure and privacy protecting identity and asset tokenization technologies are expressly designed for the digital economy. As digital assets are becoming mainstream their promulgation demands the advanced security and privacy protections that our technology affords, and the Wallet of Wallets is a perfect solution for Blue Gold’s VIP customers.”
