Drivers for change
With Empeiria, assets carry portable proofs wherever they trade.
A property developer tokenises an office tower, selling 1,000 ERC-20 "RE-ALPHA" tokens that each represent 0.1% of the deed.
Issue
The SPV wallet issues a Title Credential binding the legal deed to did:empe:realestate-alpha and publishes it on-chain.
Mint
A smart contract mints 1,000 fungible tokens, each referencing the credential hash.
Trade
Investors swap tokens peer-to-peer; every transfer triggers automatic credential checks for sanctions, accredited status, and local property caps.
Update
Quarterly inspections issue a new Valuation Credential; DeFi lending pools adjust collateral factors automatically.
Redeem
Upon sale of the building, the SPV revokes the title credential and burns outstanding tokens, distributing proceeds pro-rata.
Trust-minimised secondary market with a tamper-proof audit trail from first issuance to final settlement.
Art & Collectibles
NFTs reference a Provenance Credential that tracks ownership history and authenticity certificates.
Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs)
Generators mint on-chain tokens with metered megawatt-hour attestations signed by independent auditors.
Commodity Warehouse Receipts
Grain or metal stored in licensed warehouses is tokenised; weight & quality assays are updated via subordinate credentials.
Carbon Credits
Project baselines, verification reports, and retirement proofs are embedded as layered credentials.
- • Instant LiquidityFractional tokens open global investor pools and reduce funding cost.
- • Reg-Ready ComplianceReal-time attestations satisfy MiCA, SEC Reg A+, MAS sandbox rules, and more.
- • Lower Counterparty RiskOn-chain title proofs replace bilateral paper checks.
- • New Revenue StreamsProgrammable royalties, collateral fees, and secondary-market trading spread value beyond initial sale.
- • Developer-FriendlySDKs for Solidity, Rust, TypeScript; achieve verifiable transfer in < 30 minutes.
- • Standards-AlignedCredentials comply with W3C VC & OpenID4VC; native cross-chain support is on our 2025 roadmap.
- • Audit & RevocationOne-click revocation propagates network-wide in < 1 s, anchored on the Empe Blockchain.
- • Smart-Contract HooksUse ZKP-ready checks to gate lending, leasing, or DAO governance without leaking private docs.
1. Register an asset DID & anchor ownership proof.
2. Issue Provenance Credentials (title, appraisal, compliance).
3. Mint tokens referencing the credential hash.
4. Use the Verifier API or Solidity library to enforce checks at transfer time.
How is this different from a PDF stored on IPFS? | PDFs can be replaced or orphaned. Empeiria credentials are signed, timestamped, and cryptographically bound to the asset DID and token contract, making forgery or silent alteration impossible. |
Can I layer new credentials over time? | Yes. Appraisals, inspections, or lien releases are issued as incremental credentials, each referencing the previous state. Smart contracts can require the latest credential hash before approving transfers. |
What happens if an appraisal is challenged? | Revoke or supersede the appraisal credential; downstream contracts detect the change and can freeze or re-price collateral automatically. |
Do I need deep crypto expertise? | No. The CLI and SDKs cover DID creation, credential issuance, and smart-contract integration. You focus on asset structure and compliance requirements. |
What are typical gas costs? | Credential hashes are compact (well under 1 kB). Anchoring uses a fixed low fee. Token minting and transfers follow the standard gas schedule of the chosen chain. |
