Practical, engineer-written guides on tokenizing real-world assets: token standards and when to use them, legal structures, compliance, custody, settlement and security.
ERC-20 is the interface behind stablecoins, governance tokens and most tokenized funds. Learn how it works, where it fits real-world assets, and why regulated securities usually need more.
ERC-721 gives every token a unique ID and owner. Learn how it works and why it is the right model for property titles, bills of lading, certificates and other one-of-a-kind real-world assets.
ERC-1155 lets one contract manage many fungible and non-fungible tokens with batch transfers. See how it works and why we used it for property, energy and carbon tokenization.
ERC-3643 ties every token holder to an on-chain identity and checks compliance rules on every transfer. Learn its architecture, agent controls, use cases and implementation pitfalls.
ERC-1400 bundles partitions, transfer validation, document management and controller operations for security tokens. Learn its components, where it is still used and how it compares with ERC-3643.
ERC-1404 adds two functions to ERC-20 so a token can block non-compliant transfers and explain why. Learn how it works, where it fits and its limits versus ERC-3643 and ERC-7943.
ERC-1643 links prospectuses, term sheets and notices to a token with URIs and content hashes. Learn how it works and how we anchor RWA documents on IPFS and on-chain.
ERC-4626 standardises deposit, withdraw and share accounting for yield-bearing vaults. Learn how it works, its use in tokenized funds and private credit, and its risks.
ERC-7540 extends ERC-4626 with request-and-claim flows so tokenized funds can handle settlement delays, redemption windows and KYC. Learn the lifecycle and design choices.
ERC-7575 lets several ERC-4626 vault entry points share one share token, so a fund can accept USDC, EURC or tokenized cash in parallel. How it works and when to use it.
ERC-7943 (uRWA) is a minimal, Final interface for compliant RWA tokens across ERC-20, ERC-721 and ERC-1155: transfer checks, freezing and forced transfers. How it works and when to use it.
ERC-7518 builds a security token on ERC-1155 with partitions, time locks, payouts, forced transfers and cross-chain wrapping. Learn how it works and when it fits.
ERC-3525 gives each token an ID, a slot and a value, so financial instruments can be split, merged and partially transferred. See how it works and where it beats ERC-20 and ERC-721.
ERC-3475 lets one contract issue many bond classes and issuances with flexible on-chain metadata. Learn the class/nonce model, use cases in tokenized debt, and limitations.
ERC-2981 lets an NFT tell marketplaces who should receive royalties and how much. Learn how royalty info works, why payment is voluntary, and how to use it for creators and licensed assets.
ERC-4907 adds a time-limited “user” role to ERC-721 so NFTs can be rented without transferring ownership. Learn how it works and its uses in property, equipment, gaming and subscriptions.
ERC-6551 gives every ERC-721 NFT its own smart-contract wallet. Learn how the registry and accounts work and how token bound accounts can bundle documents, income and sub-assets for RWAs.
ERC-5192 marks NFTs as non-transferable (soulbound). Learn how it works, how it compares with ERC-5484 and ONCHAINID, and where soulbound tokens help in compliance and RWA platforms.
ERC-4337 brings smart-contract wallets with gas sponsorship, social recovery and batched actions to Ethereum without protocol changes. How it works and why it matters for RWA investor onboarding.
ERC-2612 adds a permit function so ERC-20 approvals can be signed off-chain. Learn how it works, how it improves subscription flows on tokenization platforms, and the phishing risks.
ERC-2771 lets a trusted forwarder relay signed requests so users interact with contracts without paying gas. How _msgSender works, when to use it and the security pitfalls.
ERC-1271 lets contracts — multisigs, smart wallets, DAOs — prove they approved a message. Learn how isValidSignature works and why institutional tokenization platforms need it.
ERC-777 added send/receive hooks and operators to fungible tokens. Learn how it works, the re-entrancy problems that led to its decline, and what to use instead for RWA tokens.
ERC-6909 is a leaner alternative to ERC-1155 with no callbacks, no batching and granular approvals. Learn how it works and when it suits tokenization and DeFi platforms.
ERC-1967 standardises proxy storage slots used by transparent and UUPS upgradeable contracts. Learn how upgrades work, governance safeguards regulators expect, and common pitfalls.
ERC-2535 Diamonds route function calls to multiple facet contracts behind one address. Learn how they work, when a tokenization platform benefits, and the complexity trade-offs.
A practical comparison of the three foundational Ethereum token standards — fungibility, gas, tooling, compliance and ideal real-world asset use cases — with a decision table.
ERC-1155 gives you many asset classes in one efficient contract; ERC-3643 gives you identity-gated, regulator-ready transfers. Here is how to choose between them for real-world assets.
ERC-3643 offers identity-based compliance and a finalised standard; ERC-1400 offers partitions and controller operations. Compare architecture, ecosystem, use cases and migration paths.
ERC-4626 vaults settle instantly; ERC-7540 vaults use request-and-claim flows for funds with settlement delays. Compare mechanics, integrations and the right choice for RWA funds.
