Bring real assets to the blockchain the right way.
Tokenizing property, royalties, or commodities brings liquidity to traditional markets. But in Australia, doing it properly means navigating both the legal framework and blockchain technicalities with care.
What Counts as a Real-World Asset?
Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) include physical goods (like real estate, wine, or gold), financial instruments (like royalties or bonds), or even intellectual property (such as music rights). These tokens represent ownership, income rights, or access , but their legal foundation must match their digital representation.
Before tokenization, every project must address:
Ownership and title verification
Legal control over the underlying asset
Transferability and enforcement
How the asset generates income or appreciation
Without these, the token might be invalid or misrepresent its real-world value.
Legal and Technical Harmony
RWA tokens live at the intersection of law and technology. In Australia, regulators like ASIC and AUSTRAC view these instruments cautiously. If your token promises income or investment return, it could be classified as a financial product.
Chained helps you navigate:
Legal classification: is it utility, security, or hybrid?
Choosing the right token standard (like ERC-1400 for securities)
Investor disclosures, risk warnings, and platform terms
Custody and trustee arrangements to hold the physical/underlying asset
Our team works hand-in-hand with legal advisors and smart contract engineers to ensure that what’s promised in code aligns with what’s protected in law.
From Structure to Launch
Tokenizing is more than minting a smart contract. You need a full-stack approach:
Legal setup (trusts, companies, custodianship)
Smart contract design and audit
KYC/AML integration
Issuance dashboards and secondary market structure (if permitted)
ChainEd offers this complete solution, giving you a platform to issue RWA tokens that are secure, credible, and regulator-ready.
The future of tokenized assets lies in doing things right, which with compliance, clarity, and investor confidence. We help you get there.
