Overview
Commodity tokenization represents claims on physical goods — gold, silver, agricultural products, energy — held by custodians. We build platforms with token issuance tied to reserves, custody and vault integrations, attestation data publishing, redemption workflows and trading integrations, with transparent linkage between tokens and physical holdings.
Shivacha provides tokenization technology. Legal structuring, securities classification and regulatory approvals must be provided by qualified legal and compliance advisors.
Common use cases
- Precious metals tokensTokens backed by vaulted metals.
- Agricultural commoditiesWarehouse receipts on-chain.
- Energy commoditiesTokenized energy contracts.
- Commodity trade financeTokenized inventory financing.

Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for RWA tokenization & digital securities, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Rules encoded, not interpretedWe encode the rules your advisors define; we do not determine regulatory treatment.
- Identity-bound tokensTransfers checked against an on-chain identity and eligibility registry.
- Recovery & corporate actionsLost-key recovery, forced transfers and actions supported under defined governance.
- Off-chain source of truth alignmentToken state reconciled with legal registers and custodian records.
Delivery
How an engagement runs
- 1
Asset & structure input
Your legal structure, investor eligibility and transfer rules — defined by your counsel — become technical requirements.
- 2
Token & registry design
Choice of token standard, identity registry and compliance modules.
- 3
Platform build
Issuer and investor portals, lifecycle services and integrations.
- 4
Settlement & custody
Integration with custodians, payment rails and stablecoins for subscriptions and distributions.
- 5
Secondary-market readiness
Transfer agent workflows and integration with permissioned trading venues.
Security
Security built into delivery
Controls we apply by default on this kind of work — not a separate phase at the end.
Specification first
Roles, invariants and threat model documented before code.
Adversarial testing
Fuzz, invariant and fork tests plus static analysis on every change.
Key management
Admin keys in multisig or MPC with timelocks on sensitive actions.
Independent audit
Code prepared for — and we recommend — an external audit before mainnet value.

Frequently asked questions
How do users know tokens are backed?
Through custodian data, independent attestations and on-chain supply transparency; attestations are performed by third parties.
Can tokens be redeemed for physical goods?
If the product terms allow, redemption workflows handle logistics through the custodian.
Which assets can be tokenized?
Technically, most assets with a clear legal ownership structure: fund units, private equity, real estate SPVs, bonds and debt instruments, invoices, commodities, carbon credits and treasury products. Whether and how a specific asset can be offered to investors is a legal question for your advisors.
Which token standards do you use for securities?
Commonly ERC-3643 and ERC-1400-style permissioned token standards on EVM networks, which support identity-based transfer restrictions and issuer controls. The choice depends on your requirements and target venues.
