Two years ago, we dared to dream big. What if Web3 could empower smallholder producers around the world to get more $$$ from the immense value of their products?

The problem is millions of them are getting screwed.

Green (or unroasted) coffee is a $55bn annual market, largely driven by smallholder farmers. Small-scale miners drive a $500bn annual gold market. Did we mention that millions of them are getting screwed?

We envisioned a bold new way to capture and share the wealth generated by coffee and gold with the people who farm and mine them alongside an international Web3 community who believed in our mission. Then, we got to work on how to weave these commodity markets together into a new economic model— and Kaldicoin was born.

Our asset-driven model means that every smallholder producer in the Kaldi ecosystem reaps the benefits of their hard work alongside our global community of Kaldicoin holders.  It’s a combined $550bn+ annual market, so there’s plenty to go around.

With decades of experience in business, finance, coffee, gold, technology, and large-scale humanitarian projects, our team was equipped to turn this vision into reality. It was time to make a change, using the transformative power of Web3 to drive generational impact and to create a cryptocurrency with real-world value and use.

This is just the beginning of our journey, but we’ve already made significant strides. Over the past two years, we’ve been on the ground, meeting and working with green coffee cooperatives and artisanal gold miners worldwide.  We are bringing our new economic model to life with real-world transactions that drive our native cryptocurrency, Kaldicoin, which we’ll keep you posted on. Keep an eye on the news in our official channels.

If we’ve got this right, then every artisanal gold miner and smallholder coffee farmer who joins our ecosystem stands to gain alongside you, our community. By intertwining the worlds of coffee and gold with Web3, our business model is set to make Kaldicoin a transformative reality for millions of Kaldicoin holders and millions of smallholder producers. We’re excited to share our journey with you.
