Any Asset with Definable Ownership

Enclaves supports a broad range of real-world asset classes. Each follows the same trust model—legal structure, platform verification, and operational monitoring—adapted to the specific custody, valuation, and regulatory requirements of the asset type.

Collectibles

Artwork, luxury watches, rare wine, vintage cars, and other high-value collectible items authenticated and securely held through the Enclaves trust framework.

How It Works

Collectibles are tokenized as single-unit assets (supply = 1 per token ID) within the ERC-1155 framework. Each item is individually registered, authenticated by recognized specialists, and placed under physical custody within an Enclaves SPV. The token represents direct beneficial ownership of the specific physical item.

Custody Model

Physical custody is maintained through professional storage partners—bonded warehouses, fine art storage facilities, or specialized vaults depending on the asset type. Custody verification is conducted periodically with cryptographic attestations signed by both the custodian and the Enclaves infrastructure.

Valuation

Collectibles are valued through a combination of third-party appraisals at issuance and market-driven price discovery on secondary markets. The platform records valuation history and condition reports as part of the asset's on-chain provenance record.

Key Characteristics

Custody Physical custody required

Financial Securities

Equities, bonds, and structured products held through regulated brokers and custodians, bringing traditional financial instruments on-chain with full legal backing.

How It Works

Financial securities can be tokenized as either single units or fractional shares within the ERC-1155 framework. Securities are purchased and held through regulated broker-dealers within an Enclaves SPV. The token represents beneficial ownership of the underlying security, with all corporate actions (dividends, splits, etc.) processed through the SPV.

Custody Model

Securities are held through regulated custodians and broker-dealers operating under applicable securities law. Custody verification is automated through integration with broker systems, providing real-time confirmation of holdings and position accuracy.

Compliance

Securities tokenization operates under strict regulatory compliance, including KYC/AML requirements, accredited investor verification where applicable, and adherence to securities transfer rules. The Enclaves platform automates compliance workflows while maintaining full audit trails.

Real Estate

Fractionalized, income-producing commercial and residential properties with transparent ownership structures and automated income distribution.

How It Works

Real estate properties are held within dedicated Enclaves SPVs, with property ownership registered in the SPV's name. Token holders receive fractional beneficial ownership through ERC-1155 tokens with fixed supply per property. Rental income and other proceeds are distributed to token holders through the SPV according to their proportional ownership.

Custody Model

Real estate custody is maintained through title registration in the SPV's name within the property's jurisdiction. Title verification is conducted at issuance through registered title companies or land registries, with ongoing monitoring for encumbrances, liens, or regulatory changes.

Income Distribution

Rental income, after management fees and operational expenses, is distributed to token holders on a regular schedule. All financial flows are recorded on-chain, providing transparent reporting of income, expenses, and net distributions.

Key Characteristics

Ownership Model Fractional ownership
Custody Title registry linkage
Revenue Type Yield and appreciation

Precious Metals & Commodities

Gold, silver, platinum, and other commodities stored with verified vault partners, providing transparent and verifiable ownership of physical reserves.

How It Works

Precious metals and commodities are purchased and stored through professional vault partners within an Enclaves SPV. Tokens can represent either individual bars/lots (single unit) or fractional ownership of a larger reserve (fixed fractional supply). Each token is backed by a specific, identified physical holding with serial numbers or lot identifiers recorded on-chain.

Custody Model

Physical metals and commodities are stored in insured, audited vaults operated by recognized custodians. Vault verification includes regular physical audits, weight confirmations, and assay reports. Custody attestations are signed by both the vault operator and the Enclaves infrastructure.

Redemption

Token holders may request physical delivery of their holdings, subject to minimum lot sizes and logistics arrangements. The redemption process is managed through the SPV framework with full documentation and chain-of-custody tracking.

Key Characteristics
