From buildings, bonds, securities, invoices to blockchain: Open Assets makes real world assets investable, compliant, and liquid for issuers, investors, and regulators worldwide.
For decades, the global economy has danced to the same tune - stocks, bonds, and synthetic instruments traded endlessly, while real value stayed buried in warehouses, balance sheets, and legal documents.
The world built infinite liquidity around abstractions, yet left trillions in tangible assets, infrastructure, private credit, commodities, carbon credits, and more locked, fragmented, and invisible to everyday investors.
The problem isn’t value, it’s access.
Owning a share of a factory in Vietnam, a carbon offset in Brazil, or a portfolio of trade invoices in India isn’t about capability or vision it’s about bureaucracy, privilege, and distance.
The system was never designed for participation, it was designed for exclusion.
Open Assets Breaks That Barrier
Open Assets transforms the world’s illiquid assets into compliant, programmable, and tradeable digital entities, enabling anyone to tokenize, fractionalize, and exchange real-world value with the fluidity of crypto and the trust of traditional finance.
We’re not just unlocking capital, we’re unfreezing the real economy.
A new age of ownership begins when every verified asset can flow, every investor can participate, and every piece of reality becomes part of a living, digital marketplace.
How It Works
Open Assets converts legally-wrapped assets into compliant, fractional digital tokens, bridging the gap between off-chain legal enforceability and on-chain programmability.
Each asset:
- Is held by a bankruptcy-remote SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle)
- Undergoes licensed legal due diligence and valuation
- Receives a law-firm-signed attestation, hashed to IPFS and registered on-chain
Core Protocol Highlights
1. Compliance-by-Design:
Smart contracts enforce compliance at transfer time — no valid attestation, no token movement.
2. Dual-Market Liquidity:
Primary offerings use non-custodial escrow, while secondary liquidity begins as compliant OTC trading and evolves into a continuous orderbook as markets mature.
3. High-Performance Infrastructure:
Built on the U2U Network, the system ensures:
- Fast finality
- Low fees
- Full EVM compatibility
Impact
- For Issuers: Unlock faster, cheaper, and compliant capital formation.
- For Investors: Gain fractional exposure to institutional-grade real-world assets.
- For Regulators: Ensure transparency and traceability through on-chain attestations with privacy-preserving architecture.
By embedding legal trust directly into code and enabling continuous, compliant liquidity,
Open Assets democratizes ownership and unlocks a new global pool of stable, yield-bearing, real-economy value.
Open Assets — turning the world’s wealth from static to alive.

During the hackathon, our focus was clear, to transform Open Assets from concept to a compliant, functional, and user-ready ecosystem. We began by re-architecting the entire issuance and administration flow, embedding regulatory compliance and legal verifications directly into the platform’s core. Off-chain verifications were seamlessly merged with on-chain attestations, ensuring every asset listed or issued adheres to jurisdictional requirements while maintaining decentralisation and transparency. From there, we built the first MVP that brings this vision to life, showcasing the full lifecycle from onboarding to asset issuance, verification, and live trading on-chain. To elevate the user experience, we redesigned the entire interface with dynamic analytics dashboards, real-time notification systems, and on-chain verification tracking, empowering users with live, data-driven insights into their portfolio and market performance. On the trading front, we developed both a primary and secondary marketplace: The primary market allows verified entities to compliantly issue and sell asset-backed tokens. The secondary market enables regulated OTC and P2P trading, with real-time order book updates and dynamic price discovery reflecting true asset performance and appreciation. Beneath it all lies a new suite of modular, interconnected smart contracts, an ecosystem designed for performance, security, and interoperability. Each contract communicates as part of a unified system, ensuring trust-less coordination across issuance, trading, and compliance. But this was only the beginning. The hackathon allowed us to move beyond ideation, to validate a real product, define our technical runway, and blueprint the next evolution of Open Assets. From scaling our MVP into a production-grade protocol to developing business partnerships, regulatory frameworks, and a full marketing rollout, we’ve positioned Open Assets not just as a hackathon project, but as a foundational startup redefining real-world asset liquidity. What started as an idea to make assets move is now a working product with a vision to make them matter, building the bridge between the world we trade and the world we live in.
