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 token-conveyed ownership recognized under local law.

Asset class

Real Estate

Income-producing commercial and residential property in a jurisdiction whose property law recognizes token-conveyed ownership and the SPV’s authority to govern transfers. The issuer holds title until tokens are sold; thereafter ownership of each fraction rides with the token.

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 tokens at $1,000 implied notional
  • Issuer holds land-registry title until tokens are sold; ownership then rides with the token
  • A registry restriction blocks the issuer dealing with the asset without the holders’ interest appearing
  • Annual third-party appraisal updates the valuation disclosure
  • Rental income distributed pro-rata via on-chain claim, settled in stablecoin
  • Material events (refinancing, encumbrance, sale) reflect on-chain only after legal completion
Trust Class I · land registry · α = 1.5% (range 1–2%)

Asset class

Financial Securities

Equities, bonds, and structured products held in the Enclave’s segregated account at a regulated broker-dealer under instructions the issuer cannot override, with daily reconciliation against custodian records.

Example assets

  • · US Treasury bills and notes
  • · Money-market instruments
  • · Public equities
  • · Corporate and government bonds
  • · ETF shares
  • · Structured products
Worked example

$50M short-duration US Treasury bills

  • Held in the Enclave’s segregated account at a regulated US broker-dealer
  • Independent custody the issuer cannot override removes its unilateral control
  • Fractionalized into 50,000 tokens at $1,000 notional each
  • Daily NAV reconciled against the broker statement; supply locked to verified holdings
  • Coupon accruals settle via on-chain claim, paid in stablecoin
  • Custodian provides daily SOC-1 audited reporting
Trust Class II · regulated broker-dealer · α = 4% (range 3–5%)

Key characteristics

Ownership
1:1 or fractional
Custody
Account-based (regulated brokers / custodians)

Precious Metals & Commodities

Allocated holdings in LBMA-accredited vaults under the Enclave’s allocated account, with monthly physical audits and price-feed valuation.

Example assets

  • · LBMA gold bars
  • · Silver bullion
  • · Platinum and palladium
  • · Allocated commodity inventory
  • · Industrial metals
Worked example

100 LBMA Good Delivery gold bars (~400 troy oz each)

  • Held in an LBMA-accredited vault under the Enclave’s allocated account
  • Tokens fractionalized at 1 troy ounce per token (40,000 tokens total)
  • Monthly third-party physical audit; daily LBMA fix oracle for notional value
  • Redemption available for whole-bar quantities under a defined withdrawal process
Trust Class II · regulated vault + audit chain · α = 4% (range 3–5%)

Key characteristics

Ownership
1:1 or fractional
Custody
Physical custody (LBMA-accredited vaults)
Legal sync
SPV-governed; custody attestations
Return profile

Asset class

Collectibles

Authenticated single items — art, watches, rare instruments — in insured bonded custody under the Enclave’s allocated account.

Example assets

  • · Fine art and paintings
  • · Luxury watches (Patek Philippe, Rolex)
  • · Rare wine and spirits
  • · Vintage and classic automobiles
  • · Sports memorabilia
  • · Rare stamps and coins
Worked example

$1.2M authenticated vintage timepiece

  • Held in an insured Geneva bonded vault under the Enclave’s allocated account
  • Single ERC-3643 token (max supply of one) represents 100% ownership; no fractionalization
  • Authenticity certified by the manufacturer or recognized expert at onboarding
  • Annual condition inspection; full-replacement insurance maintained
  • Holder may redeem the physical asset by burning the token + identity verification
Trust Class IV · physical authentication + bonded custody · α = 10% (range 8–12%)

Key characteristics

Ownership
Primarily 1:1 (optional fractional)
Custody
Physical custody (bonded vaults)
Legal sync
SPV-governed; internal register
Return profile
Non-yielding (appreciation)
Valuation
Periodic appraisal, comparables

Comparison

The four classes along consistent dimensions.

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