Crypto Blockchain Industries (CBI) has announced a groundbreaking partnership with the Marteau family, renowned diamond jewelers, to develop a series of innovative applications. These platforms will allow players to win or purchase NFTs representing real diamonds and other precious stones through blockchain technology.
The applications will feature various game formats, including skill-based games, offering players the chance to win NFTs linked to authentic diamonds and gemstones. These NFTs can also be integrated into third-party games, expanding their market reach. As part of the collaboration, CBI will receive €2.2 million in cash and a percentage of the project’s profits. The agreement covers three key sectors of CBI’s business: Video Games 3.0, Metaverse 3.0, and Investments 3.0, highlighting their interconnected nature.
Partnership with the Marteau Family
The Marteau family, known for their three-generation legacy in the diamond jewelry industry, brings vast expertise and access to a stock of high-quality gems. These diamonds and stones are ethically sourced according to the Kimberley Process, which ensures the ethical acquisition and trade of diamonds.
Each diamond will come with a certificate from the Gemmology Institute of America (GIA), verifying its authenticity and characteristics. The diamonds will also be securely sealed, with a certificate number that is embedded into the NFT, proving the stone’s origin and validity.
Digital Authentication and Player Options
To ensure complete transparency, every gem won or purchased will come with a certificate of authenticity from Watch Certificate, a trusted third-party specialist in digital authentication. Watch Certificate, known for its work in the luxury watch sector, is expanding its services to include precious stones and jewelry.
Players will have multiple options once they own an NFT, including claiming their diamond through a logistics service provided by the jewelers or reselling the NFT within the platform.
Immersive and Accessible Applications
The applications will offer an immersive experience, featuring various game formats such as diamond races and skill challenges. These games will cater to both Web 3.0 enthusiasts and traditional Web 2.0 players. The NFTs generated by the platform will also be compatible with games from other publishers, making it a versatile and attractive offering. CBI is already in discussions with several game publishers interested in integrating these NFTs into their games.
The ecosystem will operate using a dedicated utility token, CARATS ($CTS), which represents the diamond industry and will be central to all transactions within the platform.
Financial Details and Future Plans
CBI will oversee the development and operation of these applications, which will ultimately be owned by the Marteau family. The agreement includes a €2.2 million cash injection, with €1.7 million coming from the sale of 10% of the $CTS tokens at the time of the partnership agreement. CBI will also receive 40% of the profits generated by the project and has been granted 10% of the $CTS tokens for free.
The official launch of the platform is set for the first half of 2026.
This partnership showcases CBI’s diverse expertise, combining elements of Video Games 3.0, Metaverse 3.0, and Investments 3.0 into one comprehensive ecosystem. It also serves to strengthen CBI’s portfolio by offering a blockchain-driven platform for gaming, metaverse applications, and investment opportunities.
Risk and Disclaimer
As with all investments, this project comes with inherent risks. The financial success of the venture depends on numerous factors, and there are uncertainties around project timelines, budgets, and execution. Additionally, the volatility of crypto-assets can affect the financial performance of CBI. Past performance is not an indicator of future results.
