Haven1 and ZOTH FAAST Launch $75M Alliance to Revolutionize Real-World Asset Tokenization

Haven1, the safety-built EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain for next-generation DeFi and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), has partnered with financial infrastructure provider Zoth to integrate its Fund-as-a-Service for Tokenization (FAAST) offering into the Haven1 ecosystem.

The collaboration comes as tokenized RWAs emerge as one of the fastest-growing sectors in crypto, with global institutions and asset managers expected to bring trillions of dollars in real-world assets on-chain by 2030, according to Citi and BCG. In particular, tokenized money market funds (MMFs) have seen rapid adoption from giants like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and Ondo Finance, offering investors compliant, yield-bearing instruments that bridge TradFi and DeFi.

Zoth’s FAAST allows protocols and fund managers to launch tokenized funds, such as U.S. Treasury-backed products, yield-bearing stablecoins, or other institutional investment vehicles using a regulated Cayman Islands Segregated Portfolio Company (SPC) framework. The turnkey service handles fund licensing, administration, custody, and on/off-ramp integrations, enabling projects to go live in weeks instead of months. To date, Zoth has over $200 million in committed assets across seven protocols using FAAST. 

Eligible RWA protocols can receive up to $100K in H1 grants and $25K FAAST grants, with ready-to-market setup in just two weeks. FAAST’s full-service infrastructure means teams can focus on sales and adoption while Zoth handles the heavy legal and compliance work.

The partnership follows Zoth’s transparent recovery from a security incident earlier this year, after which the firm implemented new audits and strengthened operational safeguards. Haven1, which positions itself as a safety-first blockchain, provides a natural execution layer for FAAST-issued assets, ensuring that they can be deployed in a controlled, permissioned environment while still retaining DeFi composability.

Why Haven1

Most blockchains chase speed or low fees, treating security and compliance as afterthoughts. Haven1 was built the opposite way—starting with user protection and builder assurance at its core. For RWA issuers, that means:

• Brand Protection – Asset verification at the network level ensures only vetted products go live, reducing the risk of scams or malicious actors damaging your brand’s credibility.
  
• Institutional Readiness – Built-in compliance tooling, permissioned architecture, and partnerships with regulation-ready providers remove legal uncertainty and make institutional onboarding faster.
  
• Proactive User Safeguards – Network-enforced standards keep users away from unverified assets and unaudited contracts, with anomaly detection and targeted intervention tools that stop threats without halting the chain.

This approach does not just safeguard end users, it protects builders and their reputations, giving them peace of mind that their RWA products are in a trusted, verifiable, and institution-ready environment.

“Bringing real-world assets on-chain at scale requires a purpose-built blockchain that protects not only users, but DeFi & RWA builders through asset verification, network-enforced security measures and app-level compliance frameworks ,” said Jeff Owens, co-founder and CEO of Haven1. “With RWAs projected to reach trillions in tokenized value over the next decade, the market needs infrastructure that eliminates complexities to quickly launch RWAs in a compliant, verifiable and accountable manner. Zoth’s FAAST now gives our ecosystem the framework to launch compliant tokenized funds in weeks, not months. On Haven1, those products can operate in a user-protected, permissioned environment designed for institutions, with DeFi composability and utility from day one.”

FAAST’s regulated fund infrastructure opens new possibilities for the Haven1 ecosystem, paving the way for compliant, yield-bearing assets to enter secure, on-chain markets. By combining Zoth’s institutional-grade structures with Haven1’s permissioned yet composable architecture, the partnership lays the foundation for future RWA products that can leverage DeFi utility while meeting the highest compliance and security standards.

At Zoth, our mission is to remove the barriers that slow down institutional-grade RWA products from reaching the market,” said Pritam Dutta, Founder at Zoth. “With Haven1, protocols can launch fully compliant tokenized funds in as little as two weeks, access up to $25K each  in FAAST grants, and focus entirely on scaling adoption instead of navigating legal complexity. 

This partnership gives RWA builders the infrastructure, speed, and compliance they need to compete in the global market from day one

The first FAAST-powered products on Haven1 are expected to launch in September 2025, starting with a U.S. Treasury-backed tokenized fund, private credit fund followed by additional asset classes through 2025.
