About

Aura Network operates a dedicated blockchain for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization designed for enterprise, entertainment, and government applications, delivering enhanced efficiency, transparency, and accessibility for on-chain asset transformation. The platform features a modular architecture with an Asset Identity Protocol (AIP) that enables secure verification of real-world assets through verifiable credentials, ensuring transparent ownership and simplified compliance for RWA tokenization. For enterprises, Aura provides scalable solutions with enterprise-grade asset management and proof-of-ownership verification. For entertainment, the network transforms properties including media rights and franchise properties into verified on-chain assets through self-sovereign infrastructure. For government, Aura enables public sector transformation through blockchain-based asset management, secure identity verification, and regulatory compliance frameworks. The network has processed over 1.5 billion transactions, deployed 14.5 million smart contracts, serves 141,000+ unique active addresses, and hosts 20+ decentralized applications, positioning itself as the most thriving blockchain in emerging countries. Founded in 2021 and headquartered in Singapore, Aura Network has raised approximately $9 million at the Seed stage from investors including Hashed, NGC Ventures, KuCoin, Coin98, GBV Capital, Impossible Finance, and Republic.
