The Cardano Foundation said programmable token standard CIP-0113 is now live on the Cardano mainnet, adding a compliance-focused framework for regulated asset issuers. Under the standard, issuers of stablecoins, tokenized funds, bonds and other regulated assets can embed rules such as know-your-customer checks, anti-money laundering controls, sanctions screening, asset freezing and confiscation, and transfer restrictions directly into tokens. Those rules are then enforced by the Cardano ledger whenever tokens are transferred, minted, or burned. The foundation also said the standard does not require a hard fork, while the tokens issued under it remain Cardano native assets. Issuers can update rule modules as regulations change, giving them a way to adjust compliance settings without changing the token’s native-asset status. The announcement was reported by ChainCatcher.

The Cardano Foundation said programmable token standard CIP-0113 has gone live on the Cardano mainnet.

According to the announcement, the standard lets issuers of regulated assets — including stablecoins, tokenized funds and bonds — embed compliance rules directly into tokens. Those rules can cover know-your-customer checks, anti-money laundering controls, sanctions screening, asset freezing and confiscation, and transfer restrictions. The Cardano ledger enforces them on every transfer, mint, and burn.

The foundation said CIP-0113 does not require a hard fork, and tokens issued under the standard still count as Cardano native assets. Issuers can also update rule modules in response to regulatory changes.
