Unofficial CHEX community
Chintai is a Singapore-regulated platform that turns things like property, credit and natural resources into tradable digital tokens. CHEX is the token that powers its chain.
A short visual essay
Tokenization can sound abstract. So let's follow a single asset, a $25 million office tower, from the moment it's issued on Chintai to the fees it sends back to CHEX.
Split it
First, the tower is issued on Chintai as 1,000 tokens. Each is a 0.1% stake worth $25,000, and each can have a different owner: a fund, a family office, individual investors, or the issuer keeping some for itself.
Try another kind of asset:
Illustrative example, not a real offering.
Decide who can own it
A slice of a building is usually a regulated security, so not just anyone can buy one. Rules decide who is eligible, such as a verified identity, an allowed country or investor status. Chintai uses Chainlink's Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) to set rules like these, and they apply even on public blockchains.
Switch the rules and watch who gets through:
Illustrative. Real rules are set per asset and per jurisdiction.
Every step pays a fee
Issuing the tower, every trade of its tokens and keeping investors' accounts running all earn Chintai fees. A fixed share of those fees is routed back to CHEX.
Guess first
Of every $100 Chintai earns in fees, how much do you think goes back to CHEX?
$10 goes to people staking CHEX, and $5 buys CHEX on the market and burns it. The other $85 stays with the platform.
From Chintai's published CHEX tokenomics; staking rewards are on the 2026 roadmap. This illustrates how fees are split. It isn't a forecast of returns, and figures can change, so check official sources.
CHEX travels
The token that pays for all of this isn't stuck on one network. Since adopting Chainlink's Cross-Chain Token standard, CHEX can move between Chintai's own chain and other networks over CCIP. It arrives as CHEX on the other side, rather than as a third-party wrapped copy.
The assets speak a common language too. Chintai's asset tokens conform to ERC-3643, the open standard for permissioned tokens, so the ownership rules from chapter 2 are part of the token itself, in a form other compliant platforms already understand.
Networks shown are those reported for CHEX transfers. Check official channels for the current list.
