The engine for tokenized funds

Yield without sacrifice.

One registered position. Moves in seconds. Never stops earning.

Registered transfer agentPermissioned participationKYC/AML enforced at transferPatent protected
Value moves between holders in seconds.
It never leaves the fund.
It never stops earning.

Moves

Holder to holder, in seconds, outside settlement windows. No redemption round trip.

Keeps earning

The position never leaves the fund. Income accrues straight through the transfer.

Proves

Every movement writes its own record. Review is a query, not an audit.

The problem

Value has always had to choose.

Spendable or earning. Never both.

The journey

Two roads run to the same place.

One stops in every town. The other does not stop at all. Watch the same payment take both.

The open road

The interstate is busy.
The real freight has been waiting.

Whether the road works is settled. Blockchain is proven and stress-tested as a way to move and exchange value. What has not existed is a vehicle built to carry what the economy actually runs on.

Tokenized shares of registered funds are that vehicle. Secure, regulated, and built for the speed the road allows. They were missing one thing: the engine.

Licensed

A registered share of a registered fund.

Overseen

A registered transfer agent keeps the record.

Inspected

Permissioned participation. KYC and AML checked at every transfer.

Documented

Every movement, recorded as it happens.

How it works

The position stays.
The value travels.

Ceres installs beneath your fund as a sub-transfer agent. Positions reassign between verified holders on open infrastructure. The ledger is open. The participant set is not.

01

You change nothing

Same fund, same transfer agent, same administrator, same board approvals.

02

Nothing gets built

No development project, no integration budget. The engine already runs.

03

It starts moving

Holder to holder, on schedule or on demand. Everything a position could never do before.

Future proofed

Machine-initiated,
by design.

A person starts the transfer, or software does. Same position, same record, same rules. This is not a roadmap item. It is how the distribution runs.

  • Nothing to re-key, so nothing to transpose
  • No case to open when an instruction is wrong
  • Nothing to reconcile after. The record is the transfer
  • Nobody at a desk at 2 a.m.
18.4%
of invoices need manual work before they can be paid. Best-in-class runs 11.1%. Everyone else, 20.9%.
Ardent Partners, State of ePayables, 2025. Self-reported by AP practitioners; each edition is underwritten by an AP software vendor.
80%
of common service issues resolved by software alone, by 2029. Software is being handed the execution, and execution means payment.
Gartner, March 2025. Gartner also expects 40%+ of agentic projects to be cancelled before 2027.
We make no claim about your error rate and we price none. The point is narrower: every hand-off costs in more than one place — correction, exception handling, repair fees, a late close, and the reconciliation after. Ask what yours add to before anyone quotes a saving.
Who this is for

For whoever needs to move value
and keep the yield.

Every one of these holds a balance that must stay available. Today, it earns nothing.

A corporate treasury

Vendors, payroll, intercompany — paid from the balance you already hold.

A public program

Benefits and refunds, disbursed and proven as they happen.

A pool participant

Pay a vendor without leaving the pool you are invested in.

A customer balance

Value loaded ahead of a purchase, in industries the banks stepped back from.

Software, settling for itself

Scheduled, programmatic movement against a position. Nobody at a desk.

The patents

The architecture is patented.

Tokenizing a share is a commodity. Moving it without redemption, delay or a pause in yield is not.

  • Yield accrues through a change of owner
  • Registered shares reassign in real time
  • No change to the fund’s structure
  • Machine-initiated disbursement against a registered position

For fund sponsors

We are not the fund.

Your brand. Your client. Your AUM. Your fee.

Not the fund

Your structure. Your transfer agent. We never hold your investor.

Not the use case

Payments, benefits, treasury belong to whoever builds them.

The engine

One patented layer that makes a registered position move.

Trust & compliance

Built for people with a fiduciary duty.

The asset is a registered fund share. The plumbing got faster. Nothing about the first fact changes because of the second.

Fund agnostic

Ceres is an engine, not a fund. Any fund can run on it, including the ones you already hold.

Permissioned participation

Open ledger. Closed participant set.

Registered sub-transfer agent

Share recordkeeping under Rule 17Ad. Customer identification and AML at transfer.

1940 Act, Rule 2a-7

A registered security under real scrutiny and reporting. Not a private note or an offshore wrapper.

Transaction-level lineage

The record is made as the movement happens.

No commingling

The position stays in the fund. Nothing else touches it.

Movement without compromise.

We open the new journey of value. You decide how to travel it.
