Announcing Zoniqx

The advent of blockchain within finance is accelerating, and Zoniqx, a leader in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, has partnered with Dfns to embed digital asset wallets and transaction execution capabilities within its platform. This new integration streamlines the investor onboarding and investment process while upgrading the security, and positions Zoniqx at the forefront of blockchain-powered financial services.

Zoniqx is simplifying tokenized asset management

Since its inception in 2019, Zoniqx has redefined the tokenization of financial instruments and high-value assets. Leveraging their Tokenized Asset Lifecycle Management (TALM) framework, Zoniqx enables the seamless conversion of diverse assets—ranging from real estate and private equity to tokenized bonds and carbon credits—into secure, compliant digital securities.

Here are the four pillars of Zoniqx’s tokenization ecosystem:

1. Primary Token Issuance (TPaaS): A secure platform for creating and issuing tokenized assets, underpinned by a robust smart contract engine that ensures compliance and efficiency.
2. Token Distribution Rails (SecureConnect): Provides a critical bridge for connecting issuers with broker-dealers, decentralized exchanges (DEXs), and financial institutions to expand market reach.
3. Token Tradability (SecureTrade): Facilitates the creation of custom DEXs for secondary trading of tokenized assets, aligning with regulatory standards such as those set by FINRA and the SEC.
4. On-Chain Finance (SecureFi): Unlocks new opportunities for token holders by enabling them to use tokenized assets as collateral for decentralized lending.

At the core of this ecosystem is EIP-7518, a proposed Ethereum standard known as the Dynamic Compliant Interoperable Security Token (DyCIST). DyCIST introduces more flexibility and cross-chain operability, allowing tokenized securities to adapt to regulatory requirements dynamically.

Key Features of DyCIST:

• Based on ERC-1155: Enables representation of diverse asset types within a single smart contract, ideal for complex financial instruments.
• Dynamic Compliance: Offers adaptability to evolving regulations, ensuring long-term sustainability and market acceptance.
• Cross-Chain Operability: Facilitates the seamless movement of assets across blockchain networks, enhancing liquidity.
• Token Wrapping: Supports the integration of other token types, enabling asset-backed securities.

By leveraging DyCIST, Zoniqx ensures that its platform remains at the cutting edge of blockchain technology, offering interoperability and compliance across major blockchain ecosystems. Read more here: zoniqx.com/product/dycist 

Dfns is removing wallet complexities from the experience

The partnership with Dfns addresses one of the most significant pain points in digital asset management: wallet complexity. Traditional wallet systems often require users to manage private keys, memorize seed phrases, and navigate complex interfaces, figure out how to move funds between different blockchains and apps, and more barriers that can deter broader adoption.

Dfns’s Wallets-as-a-Service (WaaS) platform eliminates these hurdles by embedding secure, seamless wallet functionality directly into the Zoniqx platform. This embedded wallet approach simplifies the investment process, offering a smooth and intuitive user experience. The platform handles the setup, security, and features, allowing users to enjoy a managed, concierge-like experience.

How Dfns enhances Zoniqx’s platform:

1. Simplified onboarding: Users can activate wallets instantly without managing keys or recovery codes. Authentication is enhanced through biometrics, offering both security and convenience.
2. Effortless Transactions: Investors can execute multichain transactions with a simple face scan or passkey, eliminating the need for manual wallet setups or app-switching during investments.
3. Unparalleled security: Dfns uses advanced cryptographic techniques to create and use keys without ever exposing them so they remain protected from external threats and internal misuse.
4. Global Compliance: Dfns’ infrastructure adheres to global regulations, including those outlined by the SEC, MiCA, and MAS, ensuring secure and compliant operations across jurisdictions.
5. Resilience and Recovery: In the event of disruptions, Dfns provides robust recovery options, guaranteeing uninterrupted access to digital assets and proof of ownership.

"Integrating Dfns’ wallet technology is a game-changer for Zoniqx. It simplifies the investment process while maintaining unparalleled security, making tokenized investments more accessible to our users worldwide."
