S2 E77: By 2027, Every Defense Magnet Must Prove It Didn't Come from China — Nobody Is Ready | Jacob Clayton, Sagint

By January 1, 2027, every magnet, tantalum, and tungsten component in a U.S. defense system must be traced back to its mine — with proof it never touched China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea. According to our guest, right now 0% of supply chains can meet that standard.
Jacob Clayton is the CEO and co-founder of Sagint and a former Marine Corps reserve lieutenant colonel with 18 years of service, including security compliance programs across 22 U.S. embassies and consulates. In this episode, he explains how Sagint uses blockchain tokenization and zero knowledge proofs to replace paper-based compliance documents — which are easy to forge — with tamper-proof, real-time records that make critical mineral supply chains traceable, bankable, and insurable. We cover the DFAR 252.225-7052 deadline, the new NDAA mineral traceability provision, the ReElement partnership, and what "you can't fake physics" means for supply chain integrity.
