AEREDIUM has joined the Lava Tokenization Sandbox with Lava Foundation and BHL to explore future infrastructure models for tokenized assets.

Summary

• AEREDIUM joins Lava Tokenization Sandbox to explore RWA tokenization, payments, and settlement infrastructure using Alba Bay as a real-world test case.
• AEREDIUM partners with Lava Foundation and BHL in a tokenization sandbox exploring future blockchain infrastructure for real-world assets.
• It has entered Lava Tokenization Sandbox to test how tokenized assets can connect traditional finance with digital settlement systems.

AEREDIUM, the blockchain infrastructure company building the security and settlement layer for tokenized assets, today announced that it has joined the Lava Tokenization Sandbox alongside Lava Foundation and Bretagne Holding Limited (BHL). Together, the companies will explore how future tokenized asset infrastructure may interact with both traditional and digital financial systems, using Alba Bay, a large-scale master-planned development in the Dominican Republic, as a real-world innovation framework through which future infrastructure models can be evaluated.

As real-world asset (RWA) tokenization accelerates, one challenge continues to slow institutional adoption: payments and settlement. Creating a token is relatively straightforward. Enabling investors to purchase tokenized assets using the currency and payment method they already hold, while allowing developers to receive secure, compliant settlement without managing fragmented digital asset treasuries, remains one of the industrys biggest infrastructure gaps.

The collaborative sandbox initiative was designed to explore how these challenges may eventually be addressed through emerging infrastructure.

As part of the initiative, participants are exploring potential real-world applications using Alba Bay as one of several reference environments for evaluating future infrastructure models. Unlike conventional tokenization pilots, the sandbox is built around a real, capital-backed development, allowing participants to test tokenization, payments, and settlement under real-world conditions rather than in isolated blockchain environments.

Within the sandbox, AEREDIUM is testing payment-agnostic settlement infrastructure designed to simplify how tokenized real estate is purchased while removing operational complexity for developers.

Each partner contributes a distinct layer to the initiative.

Bretagne Holding Limited contributes development expertise and provides a real-world project framework through which future innovation models can be evaluated.

Lava Network provides the decentralized RPC and API infrastructure that powers blockchain connectivity without a single point of failure.

AEREDIUM provides payment and settlement infrastructure that allows future market participants to interact with tokenized asset infrastructure using a wide range of payment methods, including bank transfers, payment cards, stablecoins, or digital assets across multiple blockchain networks. Through atomic settlement, the platform converts the buyers payment into the asset the developer chooses to receive, delivering a single, secure, and auditable transaction across blockchain networks, banking systems, and enterprise platforms.

For developers, this removes one of the biggest operational barriers to adopting tokenized assets. Rather than managing fragmented treasuries across multiple chains and digital assets, developers receive clean settlement while maintaining a verifiable payment trail and reducing the operational and compliance complexity associated with accepting digital asset payments.

Beyond settlement, AEREDIUMs infrastructure combines institutional-grade cryptographic security, proof-of-reserve verification, verifiable payment trails, and atomic settlement into a unified platform for tokenized assets. The company has filed three U.S. patent applications covering core components of its security architecture, including its patent-pending AERKey technology, and is developing TRUSTCORE, a post-quantum security framework designed to strengthen future digital asset infrastructure.

“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 were 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 partners believe the initiative represents the next phase of RWA adoption. While the first generation of tokenization focused on bringing assets onchain, the next will depend on infrastructure that makes tokenized assets as easy to buy, pay for, and settle as traditional financial products.

Through the Lava Tokenization Sandbox, led by Lava Foundation and BHL, AEREDIUM aims to demonstrate how payment-agnostic settlement can remove one of the final infrastructure barriers to institutional-scale adoption of real-world assets.

The partners believe the initiative shifts the RWA conversation from token issuance toward the infrastructure that real ownership actually needs: secure settlement, verifiable payments, and a buying experience that works with the money people already hold.

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.
