AllianceBlock Introduces The Arkefi Platform In The Avalanche Ecosystem

AllianceBlock, a leading decentralized tokenized markets’ infrastructure provider, has introduced the high-value real-world asset (RWA) investment platform Arkefi in the Avalanche ecosystem.

While revealing this to Cryptowisser on Thursday, Sept. 7, the team said Arkefi's unique approach seeks to reshape the realm of real-world asset (RWA) investments. The platform is backed by reputed art investment company ARTBANX.

Arkefi is set to provide an accessible path for both High-Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and crypto investors to invest in exclusive art, cars, and collectibles.

While there are high-value exclusive collectibles on the Arkefi platform, it has adopted an inclusive approach, allowing anyone to be involved. For instance, the first listings on the platform will accept investments of as little as 100 USD. 

Arkefis first luxury collectible investment will feature the renowned Danish-Vietnamese installation artist Danh Võ, who is based in the vibrant art hub of New York City

Arkefi uses blockchain technology and decentralized finance to unlock liquidity for illiquid and unbankable assets. Furthermore, also makes high-value art and exclusive art, cars and collectibles more accessible in a transparent and user-friendly platform. 

Here are some of Arkefi’s key features;

• Arkefi sis unique via its focus on user accessibility, transparency, and convenience, all powered by AllianceBlock’s decentralized technology:

• Unlocking Liquidity for High-Value RWAs: Arkefi enables HNWIs to unlock the liquidity of their valuable yet otherwise illiquid assets, using them as collateral to access these funds. 

• Earnings on Investment: Arkefi ensures clear benefits for investors. In case of a buy-back, the principal and pre-agreed return are directly added to the digital wallet. If not executed, buyers gain full ownership, offering additional profit potential.

• Digital Twins of RWAs: Through the Nexera Protocol, the Arkefi platform tokenizes and fractionalizes the high-value art piece with a digital representation on-chain, enabling fractional ownership and investment in art.

• Partial Ownership in Digital Twins: Arkefi's partial ownership feature enables small capital investments in a fraction of a tokenized art piece, opening art investment to a broader audience of investors and art enthusiasts.

• Guided Steps: Arkefi offers user-friendly guidance with step-by-step instructions, ensuring seamless platform navigation.

Arkefi Enhances Value with Curation and Preservation

In addition to its investment functions, the platform also enhances value via curation, authentication, and preservation. 

• Secure RWA Storage: Only artworks meeting stringent standards are available for sale, stored securely in bonded warehouses in Switzerland, ensuring asset preservation.

• Investor-Friendly Holding Terms: Sellers can access liquidity from their collections. An artwork is tokenized and showcased on the platform for funding. If not repurchased, buyers retain ownership, presenting additional profit opportunities.

What's Next for Arkefi

The combination of AllianceBlock's technology and ARTBANX's experience has created a new standard for tokenizing RWAs. The team will be rolling out updates in the future that would include integrating AllianceBlock's identity management and compliance solution, NexeraID; secondary market trading; dynamic pricing mechanisms; insurance pools; and expanding offerings to include other high-value asset classes like cars and diamonds.

While commenting on this latest development, Matthijs de Vries, CTO and Founder of AllianceBlock;

“I'm thrilled to witness DeFi's potential in reshaping high-value real-world asset investment. Arkefi's launch on the Avalanche network brings an already established model into the dynamic world of Web3. By combining our innovative tokenization infrastructure with ARTBANX's expertise, we're democratizing investment in art and collectibles, making it more equitable, efficient, and accessible for all."
