On Wednesday 10 September 2025, Luxembourg-based technology company Compellio SA announced the launch of ERC-7943, a new modular, vendor-neutral framework designed to enable compliant tokenisation of real-world assets (RWAs).

Developed in collaboration with a coalition of leading Web3 and fintech companies, the initiative seeks to promote interoperability, institutional readiness and decentralisation in the fast-growing field of RWA tokenisation.

This open, modular Ethereum standard is designed to bring transparency, flexibility and collaboration to the evolving RWA ecosystem, Compellio noted. The coalition behind ERC-7943 brings together a diverse group of global industry leaders, including Bit2me, Brickken, Compellio, Dekalabs, DigiShares, Hacken, Forte Protocol, FullyTokenized, RealEstate.Exchange, Stobox and Zoth, listed in alphabetical order.

Developed and supported by a broad group of industry players, ERC-7943 provides an alternative to proprietary or closed tokenisation systems, aligning with institutional needs without compromising openness or composability.

The launch comes amid rapidly growing demand for shared infrastructure across the RWA market. Independent data from RWA.xyz indicate that nearly $27 billion in assets have been tokenised on public blockchains, including $7.45 billion in US Treasuries, with consistent 30-day growth recorded across several segments. Other market reports similarly highlight significant inflows into tokenised money-market funds, as institutional investors seek both yield and greater operational efficiency.

“Institutions have struggled to meet compliance requirements with blockchain’s open architecture,” commented Dario Lo Buglio, the EIP author. “ERC-7943 bridges that gap. Its modular structure makes integration seamless, and the shared community support gives us the confidence to go live with production-level RWA use cases.”

Yet, as this momentum builds, the market’s underlying infrastructure has not kept pace. According to Compellio, institutions increasingly face risks of vendor lock-in, lack of interoperability and fragmented standards that undermine both scalability and trust. Closed protocols restrict innovation and limit collaboration across platforms, while developers and institutions alike struggle with inconsistent documentation, limited support and unclear regulatory alignment when building or integrating tokenised asset frameworks.

ERC-7943 has been designed to address these challenges with an open, flexible and institution-ready token standard designed for adoption and extension across multiple platforms. Guided by principles of modularity, neutrality and real-world composability, the framework enables institutions and developers to build tailored use cases:

  • Modularity - separates asset identity, permissions and compliance logic into independent layers, enabling tailored use cases without duplicating code;
  • Neutrality - vendor-agnostic and interoperable by design, reducing risks of lock-in and fostering collaboration across platforms;
  • Institutional alignment - transparent, compliant and extensible to meet regulatory and operational requirements.

The developers explained that ERC-7943 is already demonstrating strong momentum. The standard is in an advanced stage of review, with extensive community feedback incorporated and further refinements actively discussed in the Ethereum Magicians forum. Early signs of adoption are evident: the standard was successfully implemented during a hackathon at EthCC, showcasing its practical viability. Moreover, all coalition members have committed to adopting ERC-7943, with several already underway in their implementations, reflecting current market demand and industry readiness to align around it.
