Plume Arc is the no-code tokenization engine created by the Plume Network. It simplifies bringing real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain. It is meant for asset issuers, especially those in traditional finance. They can enter the Web3 world without needing a lot of technical knowledge.
Key features of Plume Arc
Asset tokenization: Arc helps create digital representations for various assets. These range from physical properties like real estate and commodities to digital assets such as invoices and intellectual property.
User-friendly interface: The platform has a web-based interface that makes the tokenization process easy for all users, including those new to blockchain technology.
Modular "app store" model: Issuers can customize their tokenization process. They choose specific modules based on the asset type and regulatory needs. This lets them add features like:
- Compliance checks: Tools to ensure they follow securities laws.
- KYC/AML monitoring: Integration with identity verification and anti-money laundering services.
- On/off-ramps: Infrastructure for switching between fiat (traditional money) and on-chain assets.
- Secondary trading: Modules that allow trading on alternative trading systems (ATS).
Open-source toolkit: Arc offers a range of free, open-source tools for tokenizing various assets, including digital ownership certificates, bonds, and shares.
Early access program: Though the platform was set to fully launch in early 2025, Plume Network provided an early access program for developers and asset owners meeting a certain threshold of yield-bearing assets.
How Arc fits into the Plume ecosystem
Arc is one of the three main parts of the Plume Network. This modular Layer 2 blockchain aims to integrate real-world assets into decentralized finance (DeFi).
Arc (Tokenization Engine): The tool for creating and managing tokenized assets.
Nexus (Data Highway): The data integration layer that brings real-world financial data on-chain for valuations and risk assessment.
Smart Wallets (Passport): Wallets equipped with compliance and custody features that let users interact with tokenized RWAs.
By streamlining tokenization and including compliance in the process, Arc lets issuers concentrate on the value of their assets instead of the technical challenges of blockchain integration.
