Tokenization Platforms for Real Assets

From asset custody to buyer onboarding — the full stack for bringing real-world assets on-chain, compliantly.

Real Estate Fractionalization

Property tokenization platforms that split ownership into verifiable fractions — KYC-gated purchase flows, ownership registries, and transparent records per asset.

1:1 Gold-Backed Tokens

One token, one ounce. Custody-wallet-held gold backing the token supply 1:1, with auditable links between vaulted metal and on-chain supply.

FPC Kickstart Funding Rails

Forward purchase contracts that let early buyers pre-purchase future delivery — funding your project's launch as commerce, with documentation and compliance checks built in.

KYC/AML Buyer Onboarding

Identity verification, sanctions screening, and jurisdiction-aware eligibility checks wired into the purchase flow — not bolted on after.

Compliance & Audit Architecture

Audit logs, transfer restrictions, and data handling designed to pass VAPT and security certification reviews — and to hold up under regulator scrutiny.

Custody & Admin Dashboards

Operational tooling for the platform team: custody reconciliation, token supply management, buyer administration, and reporting.

Gold and Real Estate — Already On-Chain

Two live tokenization platforms, two different asset classes — both built compliance-first.

Precious Metals · Tokenization

1:1 Gold-Backed Token Platform

A gold tokenization platform where every token is backed one-to-one by an ounce of physical gold held in the platform's custody wallets. We built the token contracts, custody integration, KYC-gated purchase flows, and the reconciliation tooling that keeps on-chain supply auditable against vaulted metal.

Real Estate · Fractionalization

Fractionalized Property Platform

A real estate tokenization platform that fractionalizes properties so buyers can hold verified portions of individual assets. We delivered the fractional ownership contracts, KYC/AML onboarding, per-property registries, and the admin tooling to list, manage, and report on tokenized assets.

Common questions about RWA development

Straight answers on cost, custody, compliance, and how FPC funding works.

Common questions

How much does it cost to build an RWA tokenization platform? +

At Essen Software, RWA tokenization platforms run $25k–$100k as fixed-scope builds, typically 6–12 weeks. The main cost drivers: asset class (gold with custody integration differs from fractionalized real estate), KYC/AML depth, and jurisdiction requirements. Scope, price, and deliverables are agreed before we start.

How does 1:1 gold-backed tokenization work? +

One token represents exactly one ounce of physical gold held in the platform's custody wallets, with an auditable trail linking every token to vaulted metal. We shipped exactly this: a gold tokenization platform where custody holdings back the token supply 1:1, so tokens are redeemable claims on real metal — not synthetic exposure.

Can real estate be fractionalized for smaller buyers? +

Yes. We built a platform that fractionalizes real estate properties, letting buyers hold portions of an asset with KYC-verified onboarding and transparent ownership records. The legal wrapper (SPV or equivalent) is structured with your counsel per jurisdiction; we build the technology that runs it.

What is forward purchase contract (FPC) funding? +

An FPC lets early buyers pre-purchase future delivery of a real asset or product — their payments fund the project's launch. It is commerce, not an investment offering: buyers get delivery rights, not returns. We build the contract rails, escrow-style flows, and compliance checks so projects kickstart funding with proper documentation from day one.

Do you help with licensing and regulatory compliance? +

We build compliance-ready architecture — KYC/AML onboarding, audit logs, data handling that passes VAPT and security certifications — and guide you through regulator requirements in regimes like VARA (Dubai) or Reg D/Reg S (US) alongside your licensed counsel. We are a technology partner, not a law firm or broker-dealer, and we structure builds so certification and licensing reviews go smoothly.

Which blockchain and token standards do you use for RWA? +

Permissioned token standards built for regulated assets — ERC-3643 and ERC-1400-style contracts on Ethereum or L2s (Polygon, Base), with transfer restrictions, whitelisting, and on-chain compliance hooks. Chain choice follows your jurisdiction, custody setup, and cost profile; we recommend after scoping, not before.
