ERC-3643: T-REX permissioned token
ERC-3643
- Authority
- F, Protocol specification or contract frameworkNormative only within its ecosystem
- Maturity
- M1, Published and stableCurrent normative or released artifact; still requires implementation due diligence
- Version
- Native status: Final at cutoff
- Jurisdiction
- Ethereum ecosystem
One of twelve records open without an account, chosen to span every class of authority so the classification can be judged before anybody signs in.
What it does
Full ERC-20-compatible framework with identity registry, trusted issuers, claims, modular compliance, agents, freeze, forced transfer and recovery
Implementation
Protocol/interface specification
What it does not do
Privileged roles, upgrades, identity data, registry availability and module composition dominate; Final is not regulatory approval
This is the field that matters. Most failures here are a standard asked to carry something it was never written for, and the resulting gap is discovered in production.
Where it applies
Layers, the questions it helps answer
- L5
Token representation and contract interfaces
How are balances, positions, partitions, vaults and privileges expressed?
- L6
Identity, eligibility and compliance
Who may act or hold, based on which revocable evidence and policy?
- L9
Custody, accounts and key control
Who controls keys and assets, with what segregation, recovery and authority?
- L12
Governance, operations and reporting
Who may change, pause, correct, upgrade and report, under which approvals?
- L13
Evidence, audit and verifiability
What proves design intent, implementation conformance and runtime operation?
Phases, when in the life of an instrument
- P0
Design time
legal classification, authority-of-record map, product archetype, standards shortlist
- P1
Build time
schemas, interfaces, mappings, adapters, rules, invariants and test plans
- P2
Issuance and deployment
identifiers, contracts, roles, registries, modules, documents and configuration manifest
- P3
Runtime preflight
signature, identity, eligibility, freeze, balance, NAV, oracle and route checks
- P4
Atomic execution
state transition, transfer, mint, burn, lock, settlement or message dispatch
- P5
Lifecycle servicing
calculations, corporate actions, payments, queues, elections and reconciliation
- P6
Operations and reporting
monitoring, statements, regulatory reports, evidence and incident response
- P7
Change, migration and exit
revocation, correction, upgrade, identifier continuity, migration, retirement and data export

How it composes with others
Direction matters and is preserved. A conflict is not a warning about quality; it means the two cannot both hold without an adapter or a design change.
Extends ERC-20: Token StandardERC-20
T-REX remains ERC-20-compatible while adding identity and compliance architecture.
Alternative to ERC-1450: ERC-20 token controlled by a registered transfer agentERC-1450
Distributed identity/compliance framework versus RTA-exclusive operating model.
Works with, through an adapter ERC-7943: Universal RWA InterfaceERC-7943
The uRWA façade can expose common controls over a richer ERC-3643 implementation.
Implements ERC-3643 canonical contractsERC3643-CODE
Canonical repository implements ERC-3643/T-REX.
Required by ONCHAINID identity contractsONCHAINID
ONCHAINID supplies the identity-contract conventions used by T-REX deployments.

The Institute links to and describes primary sources; it does not reproduce their normative text. Several of these documents are copyrighted and cannot be redistributed, and the licence note above is the record’s own statement of its terms, not a grant. Status is reported as observed at 2026-08-15 in catalogue release 1.0.0 and must be revalidated before use. Nothing here is legal, regulatory, accounting, tax, investment, security-audit or production-readiness advice, and neither a published status nor an open implementation is a regulatory approval or a certification.
