⛏ Coming soon


Why BENJI Matters in RWA

BENJI is proof that on-chain finance can meet full SEC compliance, while remaining programmable, fractional, and fast.

It represents a retail-accessible, legally sound, and technologically modern pathway to yield — making it one of the most important RWA milestones to date.

Use Cases for Solium

Solium can:

  • Offer fractional BENJI tokens starting from $10 or $100

  • Build cash vaults denominated in BENJI for stable on-chain income

  • Provide daily USDC auto-redemption wrappers around BENJI shares

  • Build retail-optimized interfaces while maintaining institutional compliance (via Franklin APIs)

  • Issuer: Franklin Templeton
