ENCLAVES
Asset classes

Modeled as they exist — not flattened into balances.

ENCLAVES is deliberately strict about what qualifies for issuance. Every admitted asset must have clearly definable ownership, a verifiable custody or control model, and a legal framework that supports beneficial ownership held on behalf of asset owners.

Asset class

Real Estate

Income-producing commercial and residential property under SPV title in a jurisdiction whose property law recognizes the trust or equivalent arrangement through which asset owners hold beneficial interest.

Example assets

  • · Commercial office buildings
  • · Residential rental property
  • · Retail and shopping centers
  • · Industrial warehouses
  • · Hospitality property
  • · Mixed-use developments
Worked example

$10M residential building

  • Fractionalized into 10,000 ERC-3643 shares at $1,000 implied notional
  • SPV recorded as legal owner in the local land registry
  • Asset owners hold beneficial interest via trust or equivalent arrangement
  • Annual third-party appraisal updates the valuation disclosure
  • Rental income flows to the SPV and distributes pro-rata via on-chain claim
  • Material events (refinancing, encumbrance, sale) reflect on-chain only after legal completion

Example assets

  • · Sports memorabilia

Comparison

The four classes along consistent dimensions.

By explicitly modeling assets this way, ENCLAVES avoids the false simplicity that undermines many RWA systems.
