Republic is proud to announce that we are expanding our blockchain infrastructure and tokenized offerings by integrating with Polymesh, a public permissioned Layer 1 blockchain purpose-built for the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs). As part of this integration, Republic will serve as both a node operator and an identity provider on the Polymesh network.
Why Polymesh?
By integrating Polymesh into our ecosystem, Republic is advancing its mission to support secure and compliant tokenization of real-world assets. Polymesh was designed to address the specific challenges of regulated assets, including governance, identity, compliance, confidentiality, atomic transfers, and deterministic finality. Its permissioned architecture and built-in identity framework make it a natural fit for institutions and asset managers that require compliance-first infrastructure.
Republic and Polymesh to Expand Access to Tokenized Real World Assets
Our work with Polymesh includes node operation and identity services, along with broader collaboration opportunities. Polymesh’s focus on regulated infrastructure aligns with Republic’s experience in launching and managing tokenized assets across multiple sectors. With over 50 tokenized assets deployed to date, we see strong potential to collaborate on new offerings that bring both institutional and retail users on-chain.
As a node operator, Republic brings a proven track record of maintaining institutional-grade staking infrastructure. With over 100 validator nodes across 35 networks, we are well-positioned to support the performance and security of the Polymesh blockchain. This integration strengthens Republic’s Web3 infrastructure capabilities while supporting the continued growth of Polymesh’s compliance-driven ecosystem.
Additionally, Republic will become a permissioned customer due diligence (CDD) provider, leveraging Polymesh’s native identity functionality to streamline onboarding and compliance processes.
A Shared Vision for Institutional Adoption
While Polymesh provides the technical foundation that regulated assets require, Republic brings the investment infrastructure, the required regulated licensure, and marketplace reach to connect those assets with real users. Together, this alignment sets the stage for meaningful growth in compliant tokenized offerings and broader adoption of real-world assets.
Looking Ahead
This integration is just the beginning. We are excited to work with the Polymesh team on co-developing tokenized asset infrastructure and expanding access to regulated real-world assets across both institutional and retail markets. By integrating Polymesh into Republic’s platform, we are unlocking new distribution channels for digital securities while maintaining the regulatory standards that institutional finance demands.
“Launching operations on Polymesh is an exciting step toward expanding compliant access to tokenized assets. We’re looking forward to building alongside the Polymesh team to further unlock the next generation of digital securities and real-world asset offerings.” said Jeffrey Vier, Head of Tokenization at Republic.
In addition, Republic will be a collaborator in the Polymesh Ecosystem, working with native issuance platforms to provide turnkey issuance capabilities to issuers. The goal—to expand the distribution of tokenized assets, particularly in regulated markets.
