Network · Heartwood
Tokenizing a fund is the easy part; keeping every holder eligible and every transfer within the rules is what has kept institutional capital at arm's length. Heartwood is built for exactly that. It brings Druid's funds on-chain as tokenized assets that only vetted, eligible parties can hold, and it checks eligibility and jurisdiction on every transfer before it can settle.
What It Is
Institutions want the liquidity and transparency of tokenized ownership, but not at the cost of holding an asset that could pass to an ineligible or unvetted party.
Heartwood brings Druid's funds, beginning with the Nimba Fund, on-chain as tokenized assets. Each holding carries its terms, its ownership register, and its distribution schedule, and every transfer is bound by the platform's rules.
It is distinct from Folium, the public nature-backed token. Heartwood governs eligibility-gated ownership of fund interests, enforced at the moment of transfer rather than reconciled after it.
Capabilities
Every transfer confirms both parties are vetted and eligible for the asset's jurisdiction before it settles, enforced by the platform, not convention.
Druid's funds are brought on-chain as tokenized assets, each carrying its terms, ownership register, and subscription and distribution schedule.
Each tokenized interest links to its fund and the verified provenance behind it, so the instrument can be audited from the token down to what backs it.
Fund returns settle on-chain, and eligible investors may elect to receive them as verified credits, so returns take the form each mandate requires.
The same transfer-restriction logic is reused by Bloom for regulated credit transfers, so compliance is proven once and applied consistently.
Disclosure and audit exports are built in and aligned to the regulatory regimes the platform operates under, so oversight is a query, not a project.
How It Works
A Druid fund is issued on-chain as tokenized, transfer-restricted holdings.
Each party's eligibility and due-diligence status is established and anchored.
Every transfer confirms both parties are eligible for that jurisdiction.
Only compliant transfers settle on-chain; the rest are simply refused.
Enforced, Not Assumed
Rather than trust parties to comply, Heartwood checks eligibility and jurisdiction at transfer. A transaction that would breach the rules cannot settle, so compliance is a property of the asset, not a promise about it.
Disclosure and audit exports come from the same record that governs transfers, aligned to the regimes the platform operates under. Oversight becomes a matter of reading the record, not assembling one after the fact.
In the Pipeline
Performs the due-diligence work off-chain that establishes whether a party is eligible to hold or receive a tokenized fund interest.
Anchors each party's eligibility status on-chain, the very status Heartwood reads to allow or deny a transfer at settlement.
The marketplace where eligible, vetted investors discover, subscribe to, and trade tokenized fund interests under the same rules.
