AEREDIUM Joins Lava Sandbox to Test Real Estate Settlement Across Multiple Payment Rails

Overcoming Settlement Barriers

Blockchain infrastructure company AEREDIUM has joined the Lava Tokenization Sandbox, a collaborative initiative led by the Lava Foundation and Bretagne Holding Limited, to test how next-generation tokenized asset infrastructure could operate across traditional and digital financial systems. The sandbox will use Alba Bay — a large, capital-backed master-planned development in the Dominican Republic — as a real-world testing environment.

Unlike conventional blockchain pilots, the project allows participants to evaluate tokenization, payments, and settlement under actual development conditions rather than isolated technical simulations.

As real-world asset tokenization accelerates, one of the biggest barriers to institutional adoption remains settlement. While creating a token is straightforward, enabling investors to purchase tokenized assets using familiar payment methods — and allowing developers to receive secure, compliant settlement without managing fragmented digital asset treasuries — continues to slow industry progress.

According to a media statement, Bretagne Holding Limited’s role in the sandbox will be to provide development expertise and a real-world project framework for evaluating future innovation models. The Lava Network will supply decentralized RPC and API infrastructure to ensure blockchain connectivity without a single point of failure.

AEREDIUM will test payment-agnostic settlement infrastructure enabling buyers to pay with bank transfers, cards, stablecoins, or digital assets across multiple blockchains. Through atomic settlement, payments are converted into the asset developers choose to receive, creating a single, auditable transaction across blockchains and banking systems.

For developers, this model removes the need to manage multiple digital asset treasuries and reduces compliance burdens associated with accepting various tokens.

Albert Dadon, founder and CEO of AEREDIUM, said the initiative targets one of the biggest obstacles to institutional adoption: “A buyer should be able to pay with any currency, on any rail, while the developer receives secure, auditable settlement in the asset they choose.”

Yossi Abadi, CEO of Bretagne Holding Limited, or BHL, said the initiative will help clarify how emerging technologies may improve efficiency and transparency in global real estate development.

Nimrod Knoller, head of foundation at the Lava Foundation, emphasized that tokenized assets “are only as reliable as the infrastructure beneath them.”

The partners say the sandbox represents a shift in the tokenization conversation. While early efforts focused on bringing assets on-chain, the next phase depends on infrastructure that makes tokenized assets as easy to buy and settle as traditional financial products.

The initiative is exploratory and does not involve any public offering, token sale, or formal tokenization structure.
