What is TaaS

Tokenization as a Service, or TaaS, is City Protocol's capital-layer infrastructure for transforming yield sources into programmable onchain products.

It is designed for asset originators, strategy managers, neofinance platforms, and distribution partners that want to bring institutional yield assets onchain without rebuilding issuance, oracle, investor access, verification, reporting, and lifecycle infrastructure from scratch.

TaaS is not only a token minting layer.

A tokenized yield product must define who can subscribe, what the token represents, how Net Asset Value (NAV) is calculated, how claims are verified, how subscriptions and redemptions are processed, and how the product can be distributed across applications and networks. TaaS packages those requirements into a reusable framework.

Why TaaS

City Protocol's thesis is that onchain finance will expand beyond crypto-native yield once high-quality real-world and institutional strategies become accessible through consumer-grade rails.

The missing layer is infrastructure. Most asset managers and yield providers do not need a new frontend first. They need a compliant, verifiable, and distribution-ready way to convert an asset, fund, strategy, or vault position into an onchain product that users and integrators can understand.

TaaS fills this gap by standardizing the tokenization workflow across six functions:

1. Yield asset tokenization;

2. NAV monitoring and Oracle publication;

3. Investor management and access control;

4. General-purpose attestations and verification;

5. Multichain distribution;

6. Product lifecycle management, including subscription, redemption, and reporting.

The result is a repeatable path from offchain or strategy-managed yield to onchain access.
