Issuer of PMGT
Trovio (formerly known as InfiniGold) is a leading precious metals digitisation company and has been collaborating with The Perth Mint since early 2018 on developping an innovative digital investment platform that would offer investors a fully digitised Perth Mint gold product.
PerthMint's GoldPass App, powered by Trovio technology, was the first application to be based on this platform. The Perth Mint Gold Token is now a further product launched based on this platform that significantly increases the global accessibility of Perth Mint's digital gold
Trovio is the issuer of PMGT and manages all aspects of the PMGT smart contract on the blockchain. It is responsible for the creation and redemption of PMGT and for the holding and safeguarding of the GoldPass certificates that are represented by PMGT.
As Rozetta Ventures company, Trovio is part of the RoZetta Group (www.rozetta.com.au). Established in 2001 as the Australian Government-backed Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre (CMCRC), RoZetta provides access to world-class academic resources and a network of Australian and international universities to solve industry problems, while delivering commercial outcomes.
RoZetta's research excellence and partnerships with leading industry organisations has resulted in groundbreaking developments such as SMARTS, now the world’s leading real-time surveillance system for securities markets, acquired by Nasdaq in 2010.
The Trovio core team was instrumental in developing and growing the SMARTS product and associated business and is now bringing in their superior expertise of capital markets to Trovio and PMGT.
Other team members have been pioneers in the space of digital currencies as part of David Chaum’s DigiCash in the 1990s – a first attempt to commercialise electronic cash – seen by many as a significant precursor of today’s cryptocurrencies.
