In the dynamic landscape of tokenisation, token standards play a pivotal role in defining the functionality and security of digital assets. One such standard that has gained significant traction is ERC-3643, and Defactor stands at the forefront of its utilisation. This article aims to shed light on Defactor's strategic adoption of the latest token standards, offering insights into its significance for enterprise-grade tokenisation.


ERC-3643: The token standard used by Defactor

At its core, ERC-3643 represents a robust token standard crafted to cater specifically to enterprise-level tokenisation needs. It sets the stage for defining digital assets on Ethereum and any EVM-compatible blockchain, offering a comprehensive framework that ensures compliance, security, and seamless functionality.

The strength of ERC-3643 lies in its validation and trust within the Ethereum community. Earning the prestigious 'Final' status in its Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) further signifies official recognition and widespread acceptance within the EVM developer community. Additionally, a flawless audit score of 10/10 by Hacken underscores the unparalleled security and integrity embedded in this protocol.

Moreover, the standard's endorsement by notable institutions and firms—Apex Group, Invesco, Aztec, CMS, DLA Piper, and Polygon—further solidifies its credibility. This consortium indicates a collective effort to drive global adoption and standardisation, emphasising ERC-3643 as the go-to framework for enterprise-ready tokenisation.

Over the past six years, ERC-3643 has facilitated the tokenisation of assets exceeding $28 billion, marking a significant milestone in its track record. This substantial utilisation across diverse projects underscores its reliability and adaptability for a myriad of tokenisation requirements.
