Kadena, a scalable layer 1 proof-of-work blockchain, today announced a partnership with tokenization specialist Brickken to bring institutional-grade real-world assets (RWA) infrastructure to the Chainweb EVM network.
The partnership combines Kadena’s technological scalability with Brickken’s compliance-driven tokenization tools to accelerate enterprise blockchain adoption.
Build compliant tokenization for institutions
Under this collaboration, Kadena and Bricken plan to tokenize an initial $10 million in real-world assets as part of the testnet launch, with full mainnet deployment expected in 2026. The initiative comes amid predictions that up to $16 trillion of assets could be tokenized by the end of this decade.
Kadena’s multi-chain Proof-of-Work design delivers energy efficiency and low transaction fees while maintaining enterprise-grade security. Brickken’s white-label infrastructure complements this with end-to-end tokenization capabilities covering issuance, KYC compliance, lifecycle management, and automated distribution.
Together, they provide a full-stack solution for institutions seeking compliant RWA tokenization across jurisdictions.
“Bricken strengthens Kadena’s RWA strategy by providing an end-to-end tokenization platform for issuers to create, manage and distribute real-world assets on-chain.” Anneliese Osborne, Chief Executive Officer of Kadena, said: “Integrating Brecken’s robust tokenization infrastructure with Kadena’s scalable, energy-efficient Proof-of-Work blockchain provides a secure and compliant foundation for bringing real-world value to the digital economy.”
Combining Kadena’s proof-of-work scale with Brecken’s regulatory infrastructure
Brickken currently operates in 16 countries and has delivered over $300 million in tokenized assets for corporate and institutional customers.
The company’s infrastructure supports compliance across multiple jurisdictions and leverages the ERC-7943 standard, co-authored by Brickken co-founder Dario Lo Buglio, to streamline token issuance and reduce fragmentation within the RWA space.
Kadena brings existing institutional frameworks to the partnership, including a $25 million RWA grant program supporting projects such as CurveBlock, a UK sustainable real estate tokenization platform, and Access Equity, an AMF-regulated platform that manages $65 million in tokenized private equity.
In addition, Kadena’s broader ecosystem includes infrastructure partnerships with Dfns for enterprise wallets, Zodia for institutional custody, and Ownera for asset interoperability.
Edwin Mata, CEO of Brickken, said of the partnership:
“Our partnership with Kadena strengthens Brecken’s commitment to advancing institutional-grade blockchain solutions. Together, we are bridging traditional finance and Web3 and providing the infrastructure needed to perform compliant and secure tokenization of real-world assets at scale. This is a new benchmark for the future of institutional adoption.”
