Real World Asset Tokenization — The Compliance and Ledger Layer Behind the Token
A token is only as credible as the compliance rules and asset backing behind it. We build permissioned token systems that enforce investor eligibility on-chain, and the cap-table, custody, and reconciliation layer that proves what the token represents.

What Real World Asset Tokenization Covers
Token Design & Standards
Permissioned standards such as ERC-3643 and ERC-1400, chosen against your compliance model rather than defaulting to ERC-20.
Eligibility & Transfer Rules
KYC/AML provider integration and on-chain transfer restrictions, so an ineligible transfer fails at the token rather than in a policy document.
Custody & Asset Backing
Integration with the custodian, transfer agent, or SPV holding the underlying asset, plus reconciliation between on-chain supply and the recorded backing.
Issuance & Lifecycle
Primary issuance, cap table, distributions, redemptions, and corporate actions — modelled as ledger operations that have to balance.
Built for Specific Buyers, Not Everyone
Asset Managers and Funds
Have the instrument and the legal structure, and need the issuance and investor system built.
Real Estate Platforms
Want fractional ownership with eligibility rules enforced technically rather than administratively.
Fintechs Launching a Tokenized Product
Need compliance-aware token infrastructure alongside an existing regulated product.
If your legal structure is not settled yet, engineering is the wrong thing to buy first — the compliance model determines the token design, so building before counsel has defined it usually means rebuilding.

Common Questions About Real World Asset Tokenization
What kinds of assets can realistically be tokenized?
Real estate, funds, private credit, and revenue-share instruments are the common ones, because they have clear ownership records and an existing legal wrapper. The engineering is rarely the hard part — the constraint is usually whether there is a defensible legal structure and a custody arrangement for the underlying asset.
Do you handle the legal and regulatory side?
No, and you should be wary of any engineering firm that says it does. Your counsel defines the structure, the jurisdiction, and the investor eligibility rules; we build a system that enforces those rules technically. We will tell you when a requirement you have described cannot be enforced on-chain the way you expect.
Which token standards do you use?
Permissioned standards such as ERC-3643 and ERC-1400 where transfer restrictions and identity checks need to be enforced at the token level, and plain ERC-20 only where the instrument genuinely has no eligibility constraints. The choice follows the compliance model rather than the other way round.
How do you connect the token to the actual asset?
Through the custodian, transfer agent, or SPV your structure already uses — the token is a claim, and it is only as good as the off-chain arrangement behind it. We integrate with those systems and build the reconciliation that proves the on-chain supply matches the recorded asset backing.
How long does a tokenization platform take to build?
An issuance platform for a single instrument type typically runs 4-7 months, with the compliance and custody integration usually taking longer than the token contract itself. Timelines depend heavily on how settled your legal structure is when engineering starts.
