Core Concept
Axion Vault provides a simple but powerful model for bringing liquidity to tokenized real-world assets. The system works by allowing an issuer to create a dedicated on-chain vault and deposit verified RWA tokens inside it. Once the collateral is secured, the vault issues Asset-Backed Tokens (ABTs), which represent proportional claims on the underlying assets. These ABTs are standard, fungible tokens that can move freely across the supported blockchain networks.
With ABTs, investors gain the ability to hold, trade, or earn yield from real-world assets in a fully on-chain environment. Income generated by the underlying assets—such as interest, rent, dividends, or royalties—is transferred on-chain and distributed automatically to ABT holders. Issuers benefit by unlocking liquidity without selling their assets, while investors gain transparent exposure to real-world economic performance through a simple and familiar token format.
Technical Integrity
Each vault operates as a legally and technically separate environment designed to protect both issuers and investors. The system ensures:
Independent verification of collateral and valuations
Transparent proof-of-reserves that anyone can check
Automated minting and redemption rules based on collateral quality
Reserve buffers and a backstop fund for additional stability
Governance oversight from the Axion DAO
These protections make each vault predictable, transparent, and aligned with institutional standards.
Supported Token Standards
Axion Vault supports a wide range of token formats used by regulated issuers, custodians, and tokenization platforms. This flexibility allows the protocol to work with many existing tokenization systems without forcing issuers to change their technology stack.
uRWA (ERC-7943)
EVM
Tokenized real-world assets
Compliance functions such as freeze, forced transfer, allowlists; metadata for regulatory attributes
ERC-20
EVM
Fungible tokens
Most widely adopted interface for transferable fungible tokens
ERC-3525
EVM
Semi-fungible / tranche-based assets
Combines fungible and non-fungible properties; ideal for structured products
ERC20-STV3
EVM
Security tokens
Permissioned transfers, identity enforcement, MiCA-aligned compliance flows
ERC-1404 (legacy)
EVM
Restricted security tokens
Simple compliance rules with transfer restrictions
SPL Token (Solana)
Solana
Fungible tokens
Extremely fast minting, transferring, and settling under Solana's runtime
Multichain and Cross-Chain Architecture
Axion Vault operates across multiple blockchains to give issuers and investors flexibility while maintaining a single, consistent source of truth for each vault.
Chain Roles
Arbitrum serves as the primary chain for most vaults. It hosts governance, the official ABT supply, and the main yield distribution system.
Solana is available for issuers that need very high throughput or frequent yield distribution. In these cases, ABTs are created as native SPL tokens.
Other EVM chains host read-only mirror contracts that reflect vault state and enable additional liquidity without holding minting authority.
How Cross-Chain ABTs Work
Axion Vault ensures that ABTs remain consistent across all supported chains. To prevent fragmentation:
ABTs can only be created by the canonical vault contract
Cross-chain ABTs use a lock-and-mint or burn-and-mint model
Total supply always matches the collateral backing in the vault
This ensures the tokens remain trustworthy no matter where they are traded or used.
State and Yield Across Chains
To keep everything synchronized:
Vault updates such as valuations, parameters, or pause states are broadcast across all connected chains
Yield distribution always begins at the canonical vault, then updates balances on other networks
Compliance requirements follow the tokens wherever they move
This allows users on different blockchains to interact with the same underlying real-world assets in a unified and secure way.
Summary
Axion Vault’s core concept transforms verified real-world asset tokens into liquid, yield-generating instruments that can circulate across multiple blockchain networks. The system supports a wide range of token standards, offers flexible deployment on both EVM chains and Solana, and maintains consistent collateral and compliance rules across the ecosystem. By simplifying the movement and use of tokenized assets, Axion Vault provides a reliable bridge between institutional finance and decentralized markets.
