Accelerating institutional adoption through standardized compliance infrastructure.
Barcelona, 26 February 2026 — Brickken is working with the Capital Markets and Technology Association (CMTA) on the incorporation of ERC-7943 standard into the CMTA Token (CMTAT) Solidity implementation, marking another milestone in the institutionalization of tokenized financial instruments.
ERC-7943, also known as the Universal RWA (uRWA) standard introduces a minimal, modular compliance interface for tokenized assets on Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains. By defining standardized methods for transfer validation, freezing mechanisms, and compliance-related events, ERC-7943 establishes a universal compliance layer designed to reduce fragmentation across tokenized financial infrastructures.
The standard was authored by Dario Lo Buglio, Co-Founder and Head of Blockchain at Brickken, with the objective of accelerating interoperability and enabling regulated financial instruments to operate within a shared, standardized framework.
Institutional adoption of tokenization requires more than infrastructure, it requires standardization.
Tokenized securities must mirror the legal and operational behavior of the underlying financial instrument. This includes transfer restrictions, forced transfers, freezing capabilities, and validation checks aligned with regulatory requirements.
By aligning with ERC-7943, CMTAT strengthens interoperability between tokenized financial instruments and the broader Ethereum ecosystem, reinforcing a shared compliance interface that platforms, custodians, and marketplaces can reliably integrate.
For institutions, this reduces technical risk, mitigates vendor lock-in, and enhances long-term maintainability.
Standardization is the foundation of scale.
The integration of ERC-7943 improves compatibility between tokenized securities frameworks and other smart contracts, compliance engines, and infrastructure providers operating under the same interface.
This alignment:
As the tokenization of financial instruments moves from experimentation to infrastructure, shared standards become critical to enabling institutional confidence.
Institutional capital does not scale on proprietary frameworks,it scales on standards.
The adoption of ERC-7943 within CMTAT reinforces a broader industry shift toward open, interoperable token standards that enable regulated financial instruments to operate across ecosystems without friction.
For Brickken, this milestone reinforces a core thesis:
The future of institutional tokenization depends on standardized compliance primitives embedded at the protocol level.
As global markets accelerate their transition toward blockchain-based financial infrastructure, ERC-7943 represents a concrete step toward a unified and interoperable tokenization layer for real-world assets.
About Brickken
Brickken is an institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure provider for capital markets, enabling the issuance, management, and lifecycle automation of regulated financial instruments on blockchain networks. Through compliance-first architecture, Brickken supports enterprises and institutions in bringing real-world assets on-chain with security, interoperability, and regulatory readiness at its core.
About CMTAT
The CMTAT is a smart contract framework for the tokenization of securities on distributed ledgers such as blockchains. It is chain-agnostic, meaning it can be implemented on various public or permissioned blockchains, with current versions available for Ethereum, Tezos, Aztec and specifications for Solana. The framework is modular, supporting the on-chain execution of corporate actions such as distributions.
The CMTAT Framework is published by the Capital Markets and Technology Association. The development of the CMTAT framework and implementation is overseen by the Technical Committee of CMTA’s Advisory Board and implemented by Taurus.
