Asset Tokenization Services

Real & Physical Asset Tokenization Services

Build an investable and operational structure around a physical asset

Gofaizen & Sherle helps asset owners, developers, operators and investment businesses structure tokenization projects for real estate, infrastructure and commodities.

We determine what the token should represent, how it connects to the underlying asset and which legal, verification, custody and operating arrangements are required.

The result is a practical structure that can be documented, implemented and maintained after launch.

What Can Physical Asset Tokenization Help You Achieve?

A well-structured tokenization model can help create new financing, investment and asset-administration options.

Depending on the asset and project model, it can help you:

Create a financing or investment structure around an existing asset
Offer eligible investors clearly defined economic or ownership-related rights
Divide investment participation into manageable digital units
Reduce manual work across onboarding, ownership records, payments and reporting
Introduce controlled transfers between eligible investors
Connect asset, investor and transaction data through one operating model
Prepare the project for future platform or market-infrastructure integrations.

These outcomes are not automatic. They depend on the asset, legal structure, jurisdiction, investor model and available infrastructure.

Our role is to determine which outcomes are realistic and build a route to implementation.

Choose the Physical Asset You Want to Tokenize

This page covers the requirements shared by physical asset tokenization projects. Each asset class has its own ownership, verification, custody and servicing model, which is addressed on the relevant subpage.

Real Estate Tokenization
Structure a tokenization project involving property, a property-holding company, an SPV, a fund interest, debt or another real-estate-related right.

Infrastructure Tokenization
Assess tokenization models for infrastructure projects and operating assets, including possible ownership, financing and revenue-participation structures.

Commodity Tokenization
Structure tokens connected to commodities, commodity claims, inventory or warehouse-receipt models.

Start with a Physical Asset Tokenization Assessment

Before investing in legal documentation or technology, determine whether the asset can support a workable tokenization model.

Our assessment reviews the asset, ownership structure, commercial objective, target investors and intended markets.

What You Receive

Depending on the project, the assessment can provide:

A clear initial feasibility conclusion
A recommended asset-to-token model
A proposed issuer, SPV, fund or holding structure
A map of tokenholder rights
A shortlist of suitable jurisdictions
The required asset-backing and verification controls
A list of legal documents and external providers
Platform and integration requirements
A step-by-step launch roadmap
An initial timeline and fee proposal.

You receive a practical basis for deciding whether to proceed, change the project model or resolve specific issues before launch.

What We Review

The assessment can cover:

Asset identity, location and ownership
Existing title, registry and contractual records
Transferability and legal restrictions
Proposed tokenholder rights
Issuer, SPV, fund or holding structure
Asset valuation and verification
Custody, storage, insurance or operating arrangements
Token classification and regulatory perimeter
Target investors and distribution model
Data, reporting and technology requirements
Income, payment or redemption arrangements
Jurisdiction options and cross-border considerations.

The exact scope is adapted to the asset and the result the project needs to achieve.

Is Physical Asset Tokenization Right for Your Project?

Tokenization is useful when it solves a defined ownership, financing, administration or investor-access problem.

It should not be selected only because a project wants to place an asset on-chain.

Positive Signs

A physical asset may be ready for tokenization when:

The asset exists and can be clearly identified
Ownership and control are documented
The asset or relevant rights can be transferred
Tokenholder rights can be defined in enforceable documents
A reliable valuation and verification process is available
Custody, maintenance or operation has a responsible party
Target investors and markets have been identified
Tokenization solves a specific commercial or operational problem
The expected scale justifies the setup and ongoing costs.

Warning Signs

The project may need more preparation if:

Ownership or title is disputed or unclear
The asset cannot be independently verified
The token does not provide an enforceable right
No party is responsible for custody, maintenance or reporting
On-chain records could conflict with the legal asset register
The project depends on assumed secondary-market liquidity
Valuation, income, insurance or redemption processes are undefined
A platform has been selected before the asset structure.

If these questions remain unresolved, the project should begin with asset and legal due diligence—not token development.

Decide What the Token Should Represent

A token does not need to represent direct ownership of the physical asset.

Depending on the asset, jurisdiction and investor model, the structure may use:

An Asset-Holding Vehicle
An SPV, company or fund holds the asset, while the token represents shares, units, debt or another interest in that vehicle.

A Contractual or Economic Right
The token represents a defined claim, payment right, revenue participation or another entitlement established through contracts.

A Registered Asset Right
Where the applicable legal and registry framework permits it, the token and official record may be connected to the transfer or registration of an asset-related right.

A Custody or Warehouse Structure
A custodian, storage provider or warehouse holds and verifies the asset, while the token represents a documented entitlement connected to it.

The appropriate model is selected only after reviewing the asset, ownership chain, investor rights and relevant law.

From Asset Review to Launch

1. Verify the Asset
We review the asset, ownership chain, existing documents and the parties responsible for custody, storage, maintenance or operation.
The objective is to confirm what can be tokenized and identify issues that must be resolved.

2. Define the Rights and Structure
We determine what the tokenholder should receive and how that right will be established.
The project may require an SPV, company, fund, contractual structure or another vehicle connecting the token to the asset.

3. Choose the Jurisdiction and Prepare the Project
We assess the issuer, target investors, distribution model and regulated activities.
Legal documents, compliance requirements and technology specifications are aligned with the selected structure.

4. Issue and Operate
The issuer, technology provider and relevant regulated or operational providers complete onboarding, technical setup and issuance.

After launch, the project must keep ownership records, asset data, payments, reporting and tokenholder communications up to date.

How the Asset Backing Is Maintained

Physical asset tokenization requires an ongoing connection between the token and the off-chain asset.

Depending on the project, this may include:

Asset ownership and title records
SPV or company records
Custody or storage agreements
Warehouse receipts or inventory records
Independent valuations or inspections
Insurance and maintenance arrangements
Data feeds and verification reports
Rules for income, redemption or disposal
Procedures for asset loss, damage, default or insolvency.

The exact controls depend on the asset. Detailed ownership, custody and servicing requirements are addressed on the relevant asset-specific page.

Legal Requirements for Physical Asset Tokenization

The legal structure should define:

Who owns and controls the asset
Who issues the token
What rights the tokenholder receives
Which record is legally authoritative
How transfers are approved and recorded
Which disclosures must be provided
How the asset is valued and verified
What happens during default, insolvency or asset disposal.

The token or related investment arrangement may fall within securities, financial-services, virtual-asset or other regulatory rules. Classification must be assessed for the specific structure and jurisdiction.

Where an activity requires a specific license or local authorization, it is performed by the appropriate regulated provider.

How the Physical Asset Connects to the Platform

The platform should implement the rules established by the asset and legal structure.

Depending on the project, it may need to support:

Token issuance and permitted transfers
Investor identity and eligibility controls
Connection to ownership or asset records
Asset verification and data updates
Payments, distributions or redemptions
Compliance monitoring and reporting
Custody, registry or external-provider integrations.

This page defines the requirements from the physical-asset perspective. Platform selection, development and integrations are addressed separately.

What Affects the Scope, Timeline and Fees?

The scope depends on:

Type, location and value of the asset
Quality of ownership and asset records
Number of entities and jurisdictions involved
Proposed investor rights
Regulatory classification and distribution model
Need for an SPV, fund or another vehicle
Valuation, custody and verification requirements
Required legal documentation
Platform and provider integrations
Ongoing asset servicing and reporting.

After reviewing the project, we provide a proposed scope, timeline and fee structure. Technical development and third-party provider costs are assessed separately where required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is physical asset tokenization?

Physical asset tokenization uses distributed ledger technology to issue or manage a token connected to a tangible asset or an enforceable right relating to that asset.

Which physical assets can be tokenized?

Potential models include real estate, infrastructure and commodities. Suitability depends on ownership, transferability, verification, custody, valuation and the rights offered to tokenholders.

Does the token prove ownership of the asset?

Not by itself. The legal structure, contracts and authoritative records determine ownership and tokenholder rights. The blockchain record must be connected to those arrangements.

Does every project need an SPV?

No. An SPV or another vehicle may be appropriate when the asset needs to be separated from the issuer or when investors receive rights in the vehicle rather than direct ownership of the asset.

How is the underlying asset verified?

Verification may involve title and registry checks, inspections, valuations, custody records, warehouse documents, insurance or third-party reports. The method depends on the asset.

Can tokenholders redeem the physical asset?

Only if redemption is included in the project model. The documents must define eligibility, minimum quantities, costs, timing and the party responsible for delivery.

Does tokenization guarantee liquidity?

No. Liquidity depends on demand, investor eligibility, transfer restrictions and access to suitable market infrastructure.

Do you provide the technology platform?

We help define requirements, compare platform models and coordinate implementation. Technology, custody and other specialized or regulated functions may be delivered by external providers.

How long does a project take?

The timeline depends on the asset, ownership structure, jurisdiction, documentation, verification process and required integrations. We provide an estimated timeline after the initial assessment.
