Diamante Financial Technologies, the developer of what it describes as the world’s first quantum-safe Layer-1 blockchain, has secured a $1.5m strategic investment from Khofiz Shakhidi, founder of Jefferson Capital Ltd and co-founder of Minexx Ltd.
The funding will go towards protocol development, ecosystem growth, and enterprise go-to-market expansion across the US, EU, MENA, and Asia-Pacific regions.
Alongside the investment, Diamante and Minexx have entered a separate partnership to tokenise Minexx’s rare earth element operations on the Diamante network, representing what the companies claim to be the first institutional-grade commodity tokenisation on a quantum-proof chain.
Under the terms of the real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation partnership, Minexx’s critical mineral supply chain will be brought on-chain, enabling transparent and auditable tracking of rare earth elements from mine to end buyer.
Shakhidi joins existing strategic backers, which include Abu Dhabi Royal Family member HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Ahmed bin Hamdan Al-Nahyan, who serves as a named partner and investor in the project.
Diamante Financial Technologies LLC is building blockchain infrastructure designed to be secure against emerging quantum threats, compliant with major regulatory frameworks, and accessible to developers across leading blockchain ecosystems.
Diamante founder & CEO Chirag Jetani said, “This is a milestone on two fronts. The investment validates institutional confidence in quantum-safe infrastructure, and the Minexx partnership proves enterprise demand is here now, not years away. We’re onboarding real businesses onto production-ready infrastructure while the rest of the market is still debating timelines.”
Khofiz Shakhidi said, “Diamante stood apart on every dimension that matters to us: security, compliance, and enterprise readiness. The quantum threat to existing blockchains is not a distant risk. This investment and partnership reflect our conviction that quantum-safe infrastructure will become the industry standard, and Diamante is leading that transition.”
