Quick Fact
Polymath introduced the ERC-1400 security token standard and developed the Polymesh blockchain—a purpose-built layer-1 for regulated assets.
Purpose-Built Infrastructure for Digital Securities
Polymath is a pioneer in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs), offering a secure and compliant platform for issuing and managing security tokens. It enables institutions to digitize assets like equities, debt, funds, and real estate while maintaining regulatory compliance through identity verification, rule enforcement, and permissioned transfers.
Polymesh: A Layer-1 Blockchain for Regulation
Unlike general-purpose blockchains, Polymath created Polymesh, a purpose-built, permissioned Layer-1 network designed specifically for regulated assets. It includes built-in identity, compliance, and settlement mechanisms, addressing pain points around confidentiality, governance, and transparency that institutions demand in financial environments.
Standards and Tools for Institutional Tokenization
Polymath is known for introducing ERC-1400, the most widely adopted Ethereum standard for security tokens. The platform supports everything from issuance and cap table management to automated compliance checks and secondary trading (via integrations with regulated ATS platforms). Its SDKs and APIs allow developers to build compliant asset workflows across jurisdictions.
