The full answer
What Tokeniser does
Tokeniser provides the complete infrastructure for administering tokenised assets and protocol finance in Australia. This covers investor onboarding with integrated KYC/AML verification, token issuance and cap table management on-chain, compliance enforcement at the protocol layer, digital corporate actions including distributions and capital calls, secondary market transfer infrastructure, and real-time reporting and audit trails.
For fund managers, this means running a compliant, efficient fund register without the manual processing, reconciliation overhead, and per-transaction fees of traditional registries. For company secretaries, it means a cap table that is always current, always auditable, and accessible to authorised parties in real time. Ultimately better cost of capital and distribution via direct to investor distribution and asset mobility providing secondary liquidity options for their assets.
For asset administrators, it means compliance that is built into every transaction rather than applied as a manual overlay.
For investors they get better assets with realtime look through and self custody of assets providing them optionality to access secondary liquidity.
Who it is built for
Tokeniser serves fund managers operating managed investment schemes, unit trusts, and wholesale funds; company secretaries maintaining registers for unlisted companies; asset administrators managing registers for private equity, private credit, and real estate vehicles; and SPVs issuing tokenised loan notes or structured products. The platform is designed for professional administration use, not for retail investors managing their own holdings.
The infrastructure it runs on
Tokeniser is built on Redbelly Network, a public blockchain developed by CSIRO and the University of Sydney. Redbelly Network is designed for institutional financial market use: high throughput, deterministic finality, and regulatory compliance architecture. Its development provenance, CSIRO and the University of Sydney, provides the research credibility and security audit standards expected by institutional users.
Redbelly Network's participation in the RBA's Project Acacia positions Tokeniser at the centre of Australia's development of public digital token infrastructure for wholesale financial markets.
