Malda Labs
Real assets. Open markets. On-chain.

Infrastructure for real assets
in open markets.

We build the bridge between institutional capital and decentralized finance — giving operators new paths to financing, and investors new forms of yield they can actually use.

End-to-End
From legal structuring to smart contracts to investor distribution.
Operator-First
Structures built around commercial reality.
RWA + DeFi
One team that owns the full stack — tokenization through to on-chain liquidity.
What We Do

Capital infrastructure
for a tokenized world.

Tokenization
01 / 02

Tokenization

Real assets carry real value — mines, funds, hard commodities. We put that value on-chain: structured into verified vaults, distributed to investors, and composable with DeFi from day one. Operators get capital. Investors get yield they can actually use.

Protocol Engineering

We design and build production-grade on-chain protocols — financial infrastructure, cross-chain architecture, and composable primitives. Built by the team behind Mendi Finance and Malda Protocol, and maintained post-deployment.

Tokenization

TCu29 — Tempestas Copper

The first tokenized copper. Backed by 1.2 billion lbs of confirmed copper resource at the Kelvin Project, Arizona — on patented US land with ownership in perpetuity. Each TCu29 token is 1:1 backed by physical copper.

Protocol

Malda Protocol

A modular cross-chain lending desk enabling global collateral and borrowing positions across multiple networks. Built for increased capital efficiency.

Mendi Finance

A decentralised lending and borrowing market with custom interest rate models, multi-collateral support, and on-chain governance. $150M+ Fund Allocation.

Why Malda Labs

Builders who operate
what they build.

End-to-End

Full-Stack Capability

From legal structuring and smart contract development to investor distribution and post-launch maintenance. One team, no handoffs.

RWA + DeFi

Integrated by Design

We tokenize the asset and build the DeFi infrastructure it plugs into — so composability isn't an add-on, it's structural.

100%

Audit-Native

Every contract independently audited before deployment. Security is designed in from day one.

Tokenization

Your asset has value.
Unlock it.

Capital locked in the ground or tied up in a fund is capital working below its potential. We put real assets on-chain — giving operators a new source of financing and investors a new class of yield.

Why Tokenize

Tokenization isn't a trend.
It's a better capital structure.

Fast access
to capital

Move from asset to capital in weeks, not months. No lengthy credit processes, no permanent obligations. Tokenization puts your asset to work on a timeline that matches your business.

Your cap table.
Stays yours.

Raise capital without issuing new equity or signing away production. Investors earn yield through the token structure itself — your ownership and cash flows remain intact.

Liquidity
built in

Token holders can borrow stablecoins against their position from day one. Illiquid positions become composable on-chain assets — without unwinding or waiting for exits.

For Mine Operators

Get buyers for your ore before it's above ground.

Pre-production and producing mines sit on enormous value. We give you a way to monetise that resource directly — securing committed buyers for future production, without giving away equity or locking in permanent royalty terms.

  • Secure committed buyers for future production at today's prices
  • Fund operations and capital expenditure without equity dilution
  • Ongoing access to capital as production scales
  • Works for any commodity — gold, copper, lithium, nickel and beyond
How It Works
01
Resource is tokenized
Independent audit confirms reserves. The resource is tokenized on-chain — each token representing a verified claim — then held in a structured vault with full KYC/AML controls.
02
Tokens distributed to investors
Investors purchase at a discount. Capital goes directly to the operator. Tokens are redeemable for future production at maturity.
03
Production settles the vault
As ore is extracted and sold, the vault is settled. Token holders receive their yield. The cycle can repeat for the next tranche.
For VC Funds

Make your fund more attractive by giving LPs liquid positions they've never had.

LP capital locked in a 10-year fund with no liquidity window is a hard sell — especially for re-ups. Tokenize your fund positions and let LPs borrow stablecoins against their holdings without triggering a secondary sale or waiting for an exit. It's a differentiated offering that changes the fundraising conversation.

  • LPs borrow stablecoins against their position — no secondary sale required
  • Differentiated pitch: offer liquidity optionality your competitors don't
  • Reduce pressure on re-up conversations from LPs with liquidity needs
  • Flexible token design — configure transfer restrictions and share class rules to match your fund's structure and LP agreements
How It Works
01
Tokenize your fund
LP allocations are mirrored as tokens on-chain. Transfer restrictions and share class rules are configurable to match your fund's existing structure.
02
LPs borrow against their position
Token holders use their vault position as collateral to borrow stablecoins via DeFi — getting liquidity without selling or reducing their fund exposure.
03
Exits settle normally
When portfolio companies exit, distributions flow through the vault as usual. The token structure doesn't alter your fund's economics — only the liquidity available to LPs.

TCu29. First tokenized copper. In market now.

Tempestas Copper — The Kelvin Project

The first tokenized copper. The Kelvin Project sits in the Arizona Copper Belt on patented US land giving full mineral and surface ownership in perpetuity. TCu29 tokens are 1:1 backed by physical copper — each token represents a direct, verified claim on confirmed copper in the ground, with stablecoin borrowing available against positions from launch.

Protocol Engineering

On-chain infrastructure
built to operate.

We design and build production-grade on-chain protocols — financial infrastructure, cross-chain architecture, and composable primitives. Audited, deployed, and maintained.

Services

What we build.

01

Protocol Design & Architecture

End-to-end protocol design — financial logic, collateral frameworks, economic incentives, and risk parameter configuration. Architecture reviewed before a line of code is written.

02

Cross-Chain Infrastructure

Multi-chain collateral abstraction, bridging architecture, and interoperability layers. Systems that work cohesively across EVM networks without fragmenting user experience.

03

Smart Contract Engineering

Production-grade Solidity development. Complex financial logic — fully documented, comprehensively tested, and designed to be auditable from the first commit.

04

RWA × DeFi Integration

Our distinct capability: connecting tokenized real-world assets to on-chain financial infrastructure. Oracle design, vault mechanics, and stablecoin borrowing against verified real assets.

05

Security & Audit Coordination

Internal review processes, invariant testing, and end-to-end coordination with leading audit firms prior to every deployment. Code written to be audited.

06

Architecture Consulting

Design review, tokenomics analysis, and second-opinion assessments for teams building financial infrastructure. Engagement before a build is cheaper than a rebuild.

Track Record

Proven in production.
