Taiko now supports institutional-grade tokenization of real-world assets through a deployment with Brickken. Brickken is a tokenization infrastructure provider for financial institutions, and its platform now runs on Taiko, letting issuers create, manage and distribute tokenized assets on an Ethereum-equivalent Layer 2.
Real-world asset tokenization is the process of representing assets like bonds, real estate or private equity as tokens on a blockchain. It is finally moving from pilots to production. Getting an asset on chain was never the bottleneck. The industry solved that long ago. The hard part is everything that comes after issuance: keeping an asset compliant, tracking who owns it and enforcing how it can move, for as long as it exists. That post-issuance layer is what Brickken built, and it now runs natively on Taiko, so builders on the network get the full asset lifecycle out of the box, from a ready-made WebApp to a Whitelabel product to a direct API.
Why the underlying blockchain matters for tokenized assets
Tokenized assets are only as reliable as the chain beneath them. Taiko is Ethereum's first based rollup and a Type 1 zk-EVM, which means it runs the exact same execution as Ethereum, secured by zero-knowledge proofs, at a fraction of the transaction cost. Issuers build with the Ethereum contracts and tools they already use, with nothing to migrate and no new standards to learn. Because those properties hold up under sustained automated load, Taiko handles far more than a one-off issuance. It is built for the constant, high-frequency activity that tokenized assets, and the agents operating them, will generate.
How AI agents operate tokenized assets on Taiko
The deployment brings Brickken's full agent-ready stack to Taiko, including RAMS (Regulated Agent Mandate Standard), the compliance delegation standard that defines what an AI agent is authorized to do, on whose behalf, under what conditions, and within which transfer constraints, enforced directly at the protocol level.
Each agent carries an attested identity, and every transfer it initiates passes through RAMS-defined rules before execution. An asset can move through a fully automated workflow without ever leaving the compliance and ownership controls an institution depends on. Real-world assets and AI agents are converging fast, and this is the infrastructure that lets them run on the same rails.
"The tokenization conversation has been stuck on one number for years: how much you can put on chain. The number that actually matters now is how much of it can be operated without a human in the loop. That's what we're building for," said Joaquin Mendes, COO at Taiko.
“Tokenized real-world assets and autonomous agents are converging faster than most infrastructure was built to handle. The combination of Brickken's tokenization stack and RAMS, our compliance delegation standard for AI agents operating on regulated on-chain assets with Taiko’s Ethereum-equivalent execution environment gives issuers a path to deploy tokenized assets in a context where agentic workflows are a first-class consideration, not an afterthought,” said Ludovico Rossi, CRO of Brickken.
