Asset Standards working group
Develop narrow, composable standards for asset-model schemas in tokenized private and public issuances. The group works one layer above token standards and one layer below legal wrappers, with a mandate to prefer minimal and interoperable specifications to comprehensive ones.
The Association is currently convening membership for this working group. Senior practitioners, academic researchers, regulators, and supervisors working in this area are invited to write to secretariat@boli.org with a short note on background and the open question they would most like to contribute to.

- 01
Should the asset-model schema express share-class waterfall position as a structured field or as an opaque identifier resolved off-chain? The trade-off is expressiveness versus schema complexity.
- 02
How should the schema degrade across chains when an asset is represented simultaneously under different token standards in different settlement venues?
- 03
What is the minimum useful set of asset-model primitives? Current candidates are basket, share-class, tranche, and unit; the group is debating whether a fifth primitive for structured pools is warranted.
Joining the tokenization group.
The group operates under Chatham House Rule and accepts new members by invitation. The secretariat is typically receptive to inquiries from senior practitioners, academic researchers, regulators, and supervisors working in the field.
