Security

ICON utilises Hedera Hashgraph to achieve the gold standard for security in the field of distributed consensus: Asynchronous Byzantine Fault Tolerance (ABFT). Other platforms that use coordinators, leaders, or communication timeouts tend to be vulnerable to  Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against those vulnerable areas. Hashgraph is resilient to these types of attacks against the consensus algorithm, and achieves the theoretical limits of security defined by ABFT. Achieving this level of security at a scale of hundreds of thousands of transactions per second is a fundamental advance in the field of distributed systems and it is the gold standard for security in this category.

Many applications require that the consensus order of transactions match the actual order in which the transactions are received by the network. It should not be possible for a single party to prevent the flow of transactions into the network, nor influence the order of transactions in the eventual community consensus. A fair consensus algorithm ensures that if a user can submit a transaction to the network at all, then the transaction will be received by the network and the order in which it was received will be a fair ordering. Hashgraph uniquely ensures that the actual order transactions are received by the community will be reflected in the consensus order. In other words, hashgraph ensures both Fair Access and Fair Ordering.

Formal proofs of the ABFT and fairness properties for the hashgraph consensus algorithm exist and have been available for public review since June, 2016. Furthermore, the hashgraph algorithm has been validated as ABFT by a math proof checked by computer using the Coq system in October, 2018.

Discretion

Creators and Custodians of Intergenerational wealth readily acknowledge that new statutes and regulations targeting their wealth ensures that Privacy and Compliance are top of mind. There are four states of Privacy including:

  1. Solitude ~ Establishing physical separation from other individuals;
  2. Intimacy ~ Inviting select individuals into trusted relationships;
  3. Anonymity ~ A desire to restrict information available in the public domain;
  4. Reserve ~ Protecting and Controlling access to your data and assets.

In 2010, as part of FATCA, US Congress enacted new disclosure requirements for specified foreign financial assets (“SFFAs”). The types of reportable assets include: direct holdings of stock in foreign entities, interests in foreign funds, depository accounts, custodial accounts, or interests in financial institutions.

In 2018, the CRS was adopted across the G20 requiring the name and identifying number of the reporting foreign financial institution (FFI) as well as the name and the account number, year end balance, address, tax identification number, date and place of birth of each reportable person.

Interestingly, Gold held in a custodial account maintained by an FFI (bank) would be considered reportable, however, Gold held in an independent vault or safety deposit box is exempt from declaration provided (i) the vault is not in an FFI (bank) or (ii) the storage arrangement is not a financial account.

ICON CAPITAL RESERVE SA is not an FFI.

Trust

Fibonacci’s Golden Mean is a mathematical formula that permeates the fractal design of our world from subatomic DNA structures the patterns of the stars in the universe. The Golden Mean is embedded in the architecture of our most iconic buildings from the Great Pyramids to Sydney’s Opera House. Since the dawn of humanity, Trusted Sacred Symbols found in places of worship have been generating carrier waves that are literally broadcasting information.

Trust can be traced to the neurobiological activity of our human brain. Our increasingly complex world slows decision making, so we use heuristic defaults like intuition and common sense to help the process. Gold has become the heuristic default for 6000 years because across geography, language, culture and economics, it is the numeraire that the entire world agrees on. Gold is Value.

The stock of Gold refers to the available c200,000MT mined throughout history and the flow refers to the c2,700MT mined annually. Mathematically, Gold has a stock and flow ratio of 1.35%. The stock of our Planet refers to the c7.45b inhabitants and the flow is a net 80m people added per year. Mathematically, Humanity has a stock and flow ratio of 1.20%. As people move up through Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, they create surpluses that are stored in a trusted reserve asset like Gold. Hall’s Law suggests that the stock and flow ratios of Gold and Humanity have been correlated for centuries and the ratios are immune to manipulation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

June 20, 2025

ICON CEO J Bradley Hall to Showcase Innovative AU Backed Digital Currency AUREALS™ at July BRICS Event in Rio July 4th-5th

Dubai, UAE – ICON CAPITAL RESERVE SA is thrilled to announce that J Bradley Hall, the Founder and CEO of ICON, will be discussing AUREALS™, a groundbreaking digital currency solution at the upcoming BRICS event in Rio Di Janeiro, Brasil. This revolutionary digital currency is poised to transform trans-border clearing and settlement processes, marking a significant shift away from reliance on SWIFT and the USD$.

The event will serve as a platform for showcasing ICON’s cutting-edge distributed ledger based technology designed to facilitate seamless financial transactions across borders for Members of the BRICS alliance including: Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the UAE, Indonesia and Partners: Nigeria, Algeria, Uganda, Belarus, Bolivia, Kazakhstan, Cuba, Malaysia, Thailand, and Uzbekistan .

ICON Chairman and CEO J Bradley Hall stated “We are at the apex of the most fundamental monetary shift of our lifetime. The 50 year old petro-dollar agreement signed between USA and KSA in 1974 expired in June, 2024. The exorbitant privilege afforded to the US via the settlement of KSA Oil in USD$ has ended, representing a tectonic shift in global finance.”

J Bradley added “Objective observers have suggested that the purchasing power of the USD$ is being inflated away with Gold acting as the canary in the coalmine. In less than a year, it now takes 45% more USD$ (fiat IOU’s) to purchase an ounce of AU. Students of history, economics and finance acknowledge similarities between this and Weimar, Germany, in 1919 when an ounce of AU was 170 German Marks. By 1923, that same ounce of AU required 87 trillion German Marks. Do you really believe this time is different?”

At the heart of ICON’s cutting edge innovation lies AUREALS™ an AU backed digital currency, offering stability and security in an increasingly volatile global financial landscape. By harnessing the power of blockchain technology, the proven ICON private and public chains painstakingly developed over the last decade promise to revolutionize the way financial transactions are conducted within and beyond the rapidly growing BRICS borders.

H.E. Mrs. Dilma Rousseff, former President of Brasil and current President of the Shanghai based New Development Bank (NBD) agrees noting “One of NBD’s main goals between now and 2026 is ensuring that a minimum of 30% of all our project financing will make use of the currencies of our BRICS members.” She added “The expansion of membership will enable the construction of a financial structure that bears the mark of multilateralism and a multipolar world.” ICON has responded by partnering with one of the largest issuer of Carbon Credits and wrapping the Carbon Credits in AUREALS™, to create CAUREALS™ (‘C’ is the atomic symbol for carbon) which will be listed and traded on digital exchanges and bank trading platforms. This can enhance the balance sheets of large infrastructure projects as an alternative to World Bank and IMF funding options.

In accessing the profound implication of disruption AUREALS™, CAUREALS™ and BRICS are facilitating, James G. Rickards, an American economist, investment banker and advisor to 3 lettered agencies and the Pentagon has shockingly predicted “The implied non-deflationary price of AU under a new Gold standard will result in AU at USD$27,500 per ounce by 2026.”

Sovereigns, Central Banks, Institutions and creators and custodians of intergenerational wealth are increasingly observing that AUREALS™ potential to streamline cross-border transactions and reduce reliance on traditional fiat currencies is truly remarkable. The unveiling of AUREALS™ marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of global finance, signaling a paradigm shift towards a more decentralized and resilient monetary system. As the world embraces this transformative technology, ICON stands at the forefront, driving innovation and shaping the golden future of finance.
