Aspecta: Building On-Chain Standards and Trust Mechanisms for Non-Liquid Assets

Recently, Aspecta received strategic investment. The project aims to build on-chain standards and trust mechanisms for illiquid assets in traditional capital markets. This article will briefly interpret Aspecta's design logic, product system, application progress, and industry potential.

Team Background

Aspecta was incubated in 2022 at Yale University's Center for Innovative Thinking. Core team members come from top universities and research institutions, with multiple patents and papers in the fields of AI and graph learning. The team includes several experienced engineers and growth leaders, among whom is a renowned scientist serving as the chief scientist.

Pain Points Addressed

In traditional markets, a large number of assets such as early equity, locked tokens, private equity, and real-world assets cannot be traded on public markets, lacking transparent pricing, which severely restricts liquidity and pricing efficiency. Aspecta proposes to give these "closed assets" an "on-chain" "life", which not only allows for pricing but also provides trading capabilities, thereby reducing information asymmetry and enhancing asset utilization.

Core Products

BuildKey: Asset Standardization and Lifecycle Pricing

BuildKey presents non-liquid assets in a tradable ERC-20 token format. It supports multiple pricing methods, allowing assets to switch between different lifecycle stages. Since its launch, BuildKey has supported over 25 digital assets for pricing, completing more than 50 million transactions.

Aspecta ID: AI-driven Trusted Identity Protocol

Aspecta ID integrates various data and uses AI algorithms to create credit profiles for developers, projects, and asset issuers, and issues credit scores. Currently, more than 54,000 developers have completed verification, and the system is transitioning from trust protocols to community governance.

Product Interaction

BuildKey and Aspecta ID work together to create a complete closed-loop ecosystem from asset generation to trust establishment and then to transaction circulation. This mechanism not only promotes pricing transparency for early assets but also allows for a positive cycle between the trust mechanism and Liquidity.

Community, Users and Ecosystem

As of now, Aspecta has attracted over 650,000 users to participate in platform usage, including more than 54,000 verified developers. BuildKey has supported the on-chain issuance and trading of over 25 non-liquid assets. The active participation of the community has accelerated the implementation of mechanisms such as multi-chain compatibility and hybrid trading models.

Summary

Aspecta is building a triangular structure of "AI + Assets + Community", attempting to create a closed loop that connects the entire process from identity recognition, asset packaging to on-chain governance and incentives. Although still in its early stages, it has already shown potential to become a bridge connecting traditional capital with the Web3 world.
