AETHER / Services / Tokenization
§ 02 — TOKENIZATION FABRIC

Any asset. Any chain.

Issue, manage and settle tokenized real-world assets across multiple chains with compliance rules embedded in the token itself. Bonds, money-market funds, deposits, equities, commodities — one operating model.

One token model, every asset class

AETHER tokens are not bespoke contracts. Each asset is issued through a shared template that exposes the same lifecycle hooks — issue, transfer, freeze, redeem, burn, attest — and the same compliance interface. Counterparties integrate once and inherit support for every new asset class the issuer enables.

Programmable rules sit alongside the token: transfer restrictions by jurisdiction, holder caps, accredited-investor checks, lock-ups, dividend or coupon waterfalls. Rules are enforced at settlement, not after the fact.

Supported asset classes

CLASS 01

Cash & deposits

Tokenized commercial bank money, regulated stablecoins, central bank reserves. Native settlement against the payments rail.

CLASS 02

Fixed income

Sovereign and corporate bonds, money-market funds, commercial paper. Coupon waterfalls and redemption windows enforced on-chain.

CLASS 03

Equity & funds

Tokenized shares, fund units, carry. Holder registries, cap-table integrity and corporate actions handled by the token template.

CLASS 04

Commodities

Bullion, energy, carbon. Backed by warehouse receipts or registry attestations, redeemable through accredited custodians.

CLASS 05

Private credit

Trade finance, receivables, structured credit. Waterfalls, tranches and covenants modelled directly in the token.

CLASS 06

Real estate

Fractionalized title or fund interests. Geo-jurisdiction restrictions and tax withholdings applied at transfer.

Multi-chain by design

Issuance is chain-agnostic. The same token can be minted on Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Polygon, Stellar or a permissioned ledger, with AETHER coordinating supply across chains atomically. There is no "wrapped" version — the supply ledger is canonical and the chain copies are views into it.

Public chains
Ethereum L1, Arbitrum, Base, Solana, Polygon PoS, Avalanche C-Chain, Stellar.
Permissioned
Hyperledger Besu, Canton Network, Quorum, R3 Corda — connected via the AETHER notary.
Bridges
No third-party bridges in the trust path. Cross-chain transfers are atomic burns and mints coordinated by the AETHER notary set.
Settlement
Token leg and cash leg settle atomically via the payments rail. No DvP gap.
