The L1 blockchain for modernizing asset lifecycles

Upgrade assets with compliance-ready infrastructure that simplifies and secures. Polymesh automates essential workflow tasks from identity to settlement, freeing you from smart contract complexity so you can focus on innovation.

Streamline token workflows without sacrificing compliance

On most blockchains, token lifecycle tasks rely on custom smart contracts and fragmented rule engines, introducing complexity and risk where institutions expect reliability.

That’s why we built Polymesh – to manage essential workflows at the base layer, collapsing complexity into a single chain so institutions can scale fast and innovate freely.

Regulatory alignment from the starting line

Polymesh brings rights-based visibility to protect sensitive data for confidential assets and private workflows. Built-in identity, attestations, and a sophisticated rules engine enable participants to launch within today’s frameworks and adapt as they evolve.

Influenced by input from regulators and institutions, Polymesh’s infrastructure meets actual industry needs now instead of waiting for tomorrow’s regulation – it’s compliance-ready from the starting line, not the finish line.

Polymesh framework

Built-in identity
verification

Only licensed/regulated financial entities can run validator nodes, introducing real-world accountability that’s further bolstered by identity verification for all accounts interacting with tokens outside of POLYX.. 


Sophisticated
protocol-layer compliance

A flexible rules engine automatically enforces eligibility, jurisdictions, limits, and transfer restrictions. Rules embedded into tokens can be updated at any time, so assets stay aligned with evolving regulation.

Confidentiality and rights-based visibility

Trade without exposing strategies. Counterparties, assets, and transaction amounts are kept private while enabling asset-specific oversight with support for controlled disclosures to auditors.

Deterministic finality and near-instant settlement

Transactions are confirmed quickly and with certainty, supported by a two-way affirmation process preventing unwanted transfers and associated legal and tax challenges.

Fork-resistant with reputable node operators

Polymesh’s onchain governance and control mechanisms prevent arbitrary changes and allow for seamless upgrades. Runtime logic in the chain ensures one canonical version, preventing hard forks.

Frequently asked questions

What type of blockchain is Polymesh?

Polymesh is a public permissioned, institutional-grade layer one blockchain secured by nominated proof-of-stake (NPoS).

Token holders nominate reputable node operators, who author and vote on new blocks. Only known, licensed and/or regulated financial entities can run operator nodes.

It’s a combination that provides institutions the transparency and finality they need for tokenization, without sacrificing decentralization.

What is POLYX?

POLYX is the native utility token of the Polymesh blockchain. It's used to pay for transactions, power on-chain governance, and secure the network through staking.

What token standard does Polymesh use?

Polymesh doesn’t rely on traditional token standards like ERC20 or ERC1400. Instead, it takes a unique approach, incorporating token functionality into the chain at the protocol level.

  • For custodians and institutional users, there’s no need to audit or manage smart contracts for each asset. All tokens inherit built-in compliance and settlement features for safer, efficient custody.
  • For developers, there’s no need to write or deploy a smart contract to launch a token. Tokens can be issued natively via Polymesh’s SDK or APIs, to be governed by standardized, chain-level logic.

Polymesh draws inspiration from ERC1400 but expands on it by embedding key financial features into the base layer, ensuring tokens meet real world regulatory requirements out-of-the-box.
