Asset Tokenization Studio (ATS) for Sustainable Finance
Transforming static sustainable finance instruments into programmable, compliant, and tradable digital assets.
Unlocking liquidity and verifiable impact
Built to work seamlessly with the Treasury Module - which provides on-chain fund management and traceability, Hedera Asset Tokenization Studio (ATS) focuses on asset creation, lifecycle automation, and market liquidity within sustainable finance.
ATS transforms traditional sustainable bonds (typically illiquid and manually administered) into transparent and programmable digital instruments. Through its Asset Smart Contract, ATS encodes contractual terms and compliance rules as executable logic, enabling automated lifecycle actions, real-time ownership tracking, and secure integration with verified ESG oracles.
The result is a dynamic and fractionalizable digital asset that delivers transparency, continuous compliance assurance, and facilitates secondary-market liquidity for third-party exchanges; all core requirements for institutional capital markets.
Digital bond token issuance and life-cycle management
ATS deploys the Asset Smart Contract, establishing the bond as a digital-native financial instrument with programmable governance and codified rules. It maintains an on-chain record of ownership and enforces whitelisting of authorized institutional investors and eligible projects, enabling automated compliance enforcement and reducing operational overhead throughout the asset’s lifecycle.
KPI-linked rate oracle
ATS integrates a smart-contract framework for oracle-verified KPI data, attested through Hedera Guardian, to automatically trigger interest-rate adjustments or penalties. This value-aligned incentive mechanism directly links the financial performance of the bond to the environmental performance of the underlying projects, creating a transparent and enforceable model for sustainable debt.
It also automates the bond lifecycle cashflows, streaming principal and interest payments back to investors through smart contracts. This automation enhances operational efficiency, removing reconciliation errors and reducing manual overhead.
Market expansion and liquidity
ATS enhances market liquidity by enabling seamless securities-leg settlement for trades executed on external secondary-market platforms. ATS provides the transfer layer that allows regulated counterparties to settle ownership changes on-chain, ensuring compliant, atomic, and transparent transfers of digital bonds on DLT. ATS improves post-trade efficiency and supports liquidity in the broader market.
Leveraging smart contract technology for robust asset governance
Smart contract-native asset
The bond’s operational logic, from payment schedules to KPI-linked rate adjustments, is codified directly into the Asset Smart Contract, transforming static legal documentation into executable code.
Immutable traceability
All governance decisions, compliance checks, and investor actions are recorded on DLT, providing an immutable record of ownership and compliance status.
Integration with guardian oracles
The architecture is designed to securely consume external, attested KPI data from Hedera Guardian to drive internal financial logic.
Future-proof compliance
The digital bond is designed to align with evolving sustainability standards such as the EU Taxonomy, using programmable compliance logic to verify and attest environmental performance on-chain.
