Built for African capital markets, on day one.

What we do

Cradle is a single protocol with three product surfaces:

• The Issuer console lets African asset originators tokenize equities, bonds, and stablecoins through a guided, regulator-aware onboarding flow.
• The Marketplace is where investors trade those assets — order-book trading, lending pools, portfolio analytics, and pre-listing token subscriptions in one app.
• The Launchpad is for companies running compliant token offerings — IPOs, sovereign bonds, infrastructure raises — with built-in vesting and on-chain distribution.

Why African RWAs

African capital markets are deep but globally underserved by tokenization platforms designed for offshore audiences. We're building Cradle the other way around: African listings first, local-currency settlement first, regulator-aware compliance first. The protocol works because it removes the offshore detour rather than wrapping it in a different abstraction.

How we're building

Cradle is built on top of ERC-3643 (T-REX) permissioned tokens, with on-chain identity, jurisdictional transfer controls, and protocol-level fee splits that route 70% of trading fees back to the originating issuer. Compliance is enforced at the contract layer, not bolted on. Audit trails are immutable. Settlement is final.

Where we are today

The Marketplace, Issuer console, and Launchpad are in active development. Our first listings are Kenyan — Safaricom PLC, Kenya Power, Safcom Bond 2030, Nairobi REIT — with Naira and Cedi stablecoins to follow. The whitepaper has the long version of where we're heading; the waitlist on the home page is the way to be notified as we open up new asset classes and jurisdictions.
