Tokenization

Token standard

A token standard is a published smart contract interface that defines how a token behaves: transfers, balances, compliance hooks, and lifecycle functions. Standards make tokens interoperable with wallets, custodians, and market infrastructure, which is why banks require recognized standards rather than proprietary formats.

The standards that matter for regulated issuance

For tokenized securities: CMTAT, ERC-3643, and ERC-1400 embed transfer restrictions and issuer controls. For payments and utility: ERC-20 and chain-native standards such as SPL on Solana and SAC with SEP-41 and SEP-57 Soroban on Stellar. Permissioned settings add Canton CIP 56 and CIP 112.

Taurus-CAPITAL supports these standards across 45+ blockchains, smart-contract agnostic, so issuers choose the standard per instrument and jurisdiction.

Token standard, explained

Which token standard should a bank use for securities?
One with compliance built into the contract: CMTAT for Swiss-law instruments, ERC-3643 or ERC-1400 where identity-bound transfer control is required. The platform should support all of them so the legal team, not the vendor, decides.
