Kadena and Brickken launch testnet for compliant RWAs

Kadena and Brickken have launched a testnet RWA chain that combines compliance with scalability.

Summary

• Kadena and Brickken have launched a testnet RWA chain.
• The first phase will involve tokenizing $10 million in real-world assets
• The mainnet launch is planned for 2026

Tokenized real-world assets have long been touted as the missing link between traditional finance and crypto. On Wednesday, October 15, Kadena, the proof-of-work Layer-1, teamed up with Brickken to launch a testnet infrastructure for compliant RWAs.

The testnet is the first phase of a broader rollout that includes the tokenization of $10 million in real assets, with mainnet deployment planned for 2026. In essence, the rollout brings together Kadena’s (KDA) scalable RWA blockchain with Brickken’s tokenization platform.

Kadena and Brickken hope to bring institutions on-chain

As part of the partnership, Kadena will handle the technical aspects of the chain. At the same time, Brickken will handle compliant asset issuance, KYC verification, and automation and transparency features. Thanks to these features, the two firms hope to build the infrastructure that institutions need to go on-chain.

RWAs are becoming an increasingly dominant narrative in the crypto space. According to Skynet Report, the RWA market could reach $16 trillion by 2030, with tokenized treasuries likely driving adoption.
