Austin, Texas, July 7th, 2026, Chainwire
AEREDIUM builds the security and settlement layer for tokenized assets. Today it announced that it has joined the Lava Tokenization Sandbox, alongside Lava Foundation and Bretagne Holding Limited (BHL).
Together, the firms will look at how future token systems may work with both banks and digital money.
They will use Alba Bay as a real-world test case. It is a large, planned property project in the Dominican Republic. New models can be tried out through it.
The payment problem in RWA tokenization
Real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is speeding up. But one problem keeps holding big investors back: how to pay and settle. Our RWA tokenization news page tracks how this market is moving.
Making a token is fairly simple. The hard part is letting buyers pay with the money and payment method they already have. At the same time, developers need safe payouts that follow the rules. They do not want to juggle many crypto balances. This is still one of the biggest gaps in the field.
The joint sandbox was set up to see how new tools might solve these problems over time.
How the sandbox works
As part of the project, the partners are looking at real-world uses. Alba Bay is one of several places where they test new models.
Most token pilots run in closed blockchain test setups. This sandbox is different. It is built around a real project with real money behind it. The partners can test tokens, payments, and payouts in real-world conditions.
Within the sandbox, AEREDIUM is testing payouts that work with any payment method. The goal is to make buying property tokens simpler and to save developers work.
What each partner brings
Each partner adds a different layer to the project:
- Bretagne Holding Limited brings know-how in building property. It also offers a real project where new ideas can be tested.
- Lava Network runs the RPC and API links that connect apps to blockchains. There is no single point of failure.
- AEREDIUM provides the payment and payout tools. Buyers can pay in many ways, such as bank transfers, cards, stablecoins, or crypto on many networks.
AEREDIUM uses atomic settlement. This means the buyer’s payment is turned into the asset the developer wants, in one step. The result is one safe deal that can be checked, across blockchains, banks, and business platforms.
What it means for developers
For developers, this removes one of the biggest hurdles. They do not have to manage funds spread across many chains and coins.
Instead, they get a clean payout and a payment trail they can check. It also cuts the work and rule-checking that comes with taking crypto.
Beyond settlement, AEREDIUM’s platform brings several tools together:
- Bank-grade crypto security
- Proof that reserves exist
- Payment trails you can check
- Atomic settlement
The company has filed three U.S. patent applications on key parts of its security design. These include its patent-pending AERKey tech. It is also building TRUSTCORE, a security system meant to hold up against future quantum computers. AEREDIUM has also worked on AI safety tools, as our report on AEREDIUM’s guardrails for AI agents describes.
What the partners said
“We joined the sandbox to solve one of the biggest obstacles preventing tokenized assets from reaching institutional adoption: payments,” said Albert Dadon, Founder and CEO of AEREDIUM. “A buyer should be able to pay with any currency, on any rail, while the developer receives secure, auditable settlement in the asset they choose.
Developers shouldn’t have to manage fragmented treasuries or carry the compliance burden that comes with accepting multiple digital assets. That’s exactly what we’re testing through this initiative.”
“At BHL, we believe emerging technologies will continue transforming how large-scale development projects are financed and accessed globally. Through this exploratory initiative, we are interested in understanding how future innovation may improve efficiency, transparency, and accessibility within the broader real estate ecosystem,” said Yossi Abadi, Partner and CEO at Bretagne Holding Limited.
“Tokenized assets are only as reliable as the infrastructure beneath them,” said Nimrod Knoller, Head of Foundation at Lava Foundation. “By combining decentralized infrastructure, settlement innovation, and real-world development perspectives, we are exploring what future institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure may look like.”
The next phase of RWA adoption
The partners believe the project marks the next phase of RWA use. The first wave was about putting assets onchain. The next wave will need tools that make tokens as easy to buy, pay for, and settle as normal financial products.
The Lava Tokenization Sandbox is led by Lava Foundation and BHL. Through it, AEREDIUM aims to show how payouts that work with any payment method can clear one of the last hurdles to wide use of real-world assets.
The partners believe the project moves the RWA debate from making tokens to what real ownership needs. That means safe payouts, payments you can check, and a way to buy that works with the money people already have.
This initiative is exploratory in nature and is intended solely for evaluating potential future infrastructure models and technological interoperability. No public offering, sale of securities, token issuance, or formal tokenization structure is currently being launched through this collaboration.
