Regulated Real Estate Tokenization
↳ Architecture and smart contracts for a regulated issuer
We supported a regulated issuer in New Zealand with tokenization architecture and smart contract work focused on issuance lifecycle, ownership models, and production constraints.
A regulated issuer in New Zealand set out to tokenize real estate exposure in a way that fits real compliance constraints and real operational workflows.
We joined through a partner agency to support architecture and smart contract work, keeping the design implementable for a regulated rollout.
The challenge
Tokenizing regulated assets is not just “minting tokens”:
- ownership models must match legal reality (investor rights, transfers, restrictions)
- issuance and lifecycle events must be auditable and operationally manageable
- production constraints (custody, reporting, approvals) shape the system design from day one
The project needed a clean architecture that could support regulated issuance without overcomplicating the product.
Requirements for the project and the technology partner
Approach
We designed around regulated reality:
- treat compliance constraints as core requirements, not “later” work
- keep contract logic minimal and auditable
- separate on-chain lifecycle logic from off-chain operational controls
- document flows so the issuer can operate the system reliably post-launch
