SQD and Nexera are proud to announce their collaboration designed to transform the way real-world assets are tokenized, managed, and accessed on-chain. SQD, known for its robust blockchain indexing and data infrastructure, has enabled countless developers to harness reliable access to over 200 blockchains’ data through its decentralized data lake. Nexera, is the driving force behind Nexera Chain, a compliance-first Layer 1 solution powered by AI-driven compliance workflows, a pioneering ERC-7208 token standard, and built-in support for institutional-grade liquidity and tokenization processes.

Combining ERC-7208 with real-time indexing for data tokenization

At the heart of this partnership is an innovative approach to data tokenization: by combining Nexera’s ERC-7208 standard with SQD’s flexible indexing services, developers can now seamlessly convert and manage data as transferable digital assets. ERC-7208 acts as a universal data container, supporting various forms of information, from ownership records to regulatory documentation, while ensuring compliance through Nexera’s integrated compliance modules. SQD’s infrastructure then indexes these tokenized data points in real-time, allowing businesses, dApps, and end users to track, verify, and transfer them with transparency and speed.

A key focus of this collaboration is the tokenization and indexing of real-world assets. Using ERC-7208, assets such as real estate, intellectual property, or commodities can be mapped on-chain in a manner consistent with MiCA and other global regulations.

SQD’s indexing layer further enriches this process by feeding real-time asset performance, audit trails, and liquidity metrics directly into user-facing applications. This integrated data pipeline greatly reduces the complexities associated with managing physical and digital asset lifecycles, creating an environment where institutions, startups, and retail users alike can trustlessly verify the correctness of the data 

Unlocking compliant DeFi innovation

By uniting SQD’s data ingestion capabilities with Nexera’s compliance-first architecture, the two companies are eliminating historical bottlenecks in RWA tokenization, most notably, the challenges of reliable data sourcing and consistent regulatory adherence. The synergy opens up new horizons for DeFi applications, including fractionalized ownership, automated lending, and secondary trading of RWAs, all backed by a transparent, indexed data flow.

Looking ahead, SQD and Nexera envision a future where enterprises and developers can rapidly deploy applications that merge the power of trusted data pipelines with secure, regulation-ready asset tokenization.
