Unlocking the utility of tokenized real-world assets

Data

Enrich your asset with real-world information and data that is necessary for the tokenized asset to come into existence and remain updated through its lifecycle, such as market pricing, reference data, AML/KYC data, identity data, and proof of reserves.
