Solomaris is the legal infrastructure institution for digital assets and tokenized markets. It provides legal infrastructure through a digital arbitration institution, regulatory compliance, legal decision intelligence, and programmable contract infrastructure — five interconnected pillars on one platform, built by a blockchain and AI legal counsel who advises on exactly the problems Solomaris is built to solve.
The market this serves is real and moving fast. Tokenized real-world assets grew from roughly six billion dollars to over thirty-one billion dollars in about sixteen months to mid-2026, driven overwhelmingly by institutional demand — BlackRock, JPMorgan, and Franklin Templeton are running live products, not pilots. But independent market analysts consistently flag the same gap: cross-border legal enforceability of tokenized-asset disputes and settlements remains genuinely unresolved. Solomaris exists to close that gap.
Solomaris Arbitration is the flagship: a digital arbitration institution combining arbitration, mediation, emergency measures, consent awards, cryptographically verifiable evidence, and smart-contract settlement — structured to be enforceable under the New York Convention in the same way as any conventional institution's award. Around it, Solomaris Shield handles cross-border compliance and regulatory intelligence, Solomaris Intelligence provides verified legal decision support routed through human counsel sign-off, Solomaris Vault handles custody-grade contracts, evidence, and settlement, and Solomaris Connect embeds the whole stack into exchanges, banks, and government systems via API. Solomaris Verify sits in front of all of it as a public integrity-verification layer.

The underlying asset base is no longer speculative. Six individual tokenized asset categories — private credit, gold and commodities, US Treasuries, corporate bonds, non-US sovereign debt, and institutional alternative funds — each independently exceed a billion dollars in on-chain value. BlackRock's BUIDL fund alone has passed two and a half billion dollars in assets under management; Franklin Templeton's FOBXX has done the same. This is institutional infrastructure now, not an experiment.
Yet when a tokenized asset dispute crosses a border — and by construction, most of them do — there is no dedicated forum built for the evidence these disputes actually produce: on-chain transaction records, smart-contract terms, cryptographically signed instructions. Market analysts covering this sector independently and consistently name cross-border legal enforceability, alongside secondary liquidity and interoperability, as one of the genuinely unresolved structural problems standing between the current thirty-billion-dollar market and the trillions many forecasters expect by 2030.
International arbitration is a mature, roughly six-to-seven-billion-dollar services market growing at a modest, low-single-digit pace overall — a mature industry, not a declining one, but not one built around digital-asset-native evidence or settlement either. The major institutions are responding: the ICC's 2026 Rules introduced a Highly Expedited Arbitration Procedure targeting a final award within three months for urgent disputes, following SIAC's own 2025 reforms, and closer to home, the Abu Dhabi International Arbitration Centre — arbitrateAD, launched in 2024 as the successor to ADCCAC — defaults to digital case management and an ADGM seat. These are real, credible, accelerating improvements. None of them are purpose-built for tokenized-asset disputes specifically, and none combine arbitration with compliance and legal-intelligence services in one institution.
AI adoption in legal and arbitration practice is no longer a fringe experiment — recent industry survey data shows a clear majority of practitioners already use AI for legal research, with near-universal adoption expected within five years, and institutions including AAA-ICDR have begun piloting AI-assisted arbitrator tools for select case types. That speed of adoption changes the stakes: unverified AI-generated legal work stops being a rare, sanctionable embarrassment and starts being a systemic risk once it sits inside mainstream practice.
A tokenized-asset business today assembles its legal infrastructure piecemeal: a seat-based arbitration institution for disputes, a compliance consultancy for cross-border regulatory questions, a legal AI tool for research, and no coherent link between them. Solomaris exists to be the single institution that does all three, built by someone who has spent years handling the cross-border law-enforcement demands that Solomaris Shield now automates, and who designs and ships the systems he advises on.
The on-chain RWA market, excluding stablecoins, grew from roughly six billion dollars in early 2025 to over thirty-one billion dollars by May 2026. Forecasts for where this goes by 2030 vary widely by methodology — McKinsey's conservative case sits at two to four trillion dollars, BCG's central case at roughly sixteen trillion. A multi-trillion-dollar tokenized market by decade's end is consistent with the current growth trajectory, though it depends on regulatory convergence, secondary liquidity, and interoperability holding up under stress.
The US GENIUS Act established the first federal framework for payment stablecoins in 2025; the SEC and CFTC issued a joint interpretation in early 2026 sorting digital assets into clear categories; the EU's MiCA framework, Singapore's MAS Project Guardian, and the UAE's own digital-asset frameworks are each providing jurisdiction-specific clarity. Solomaris sits on top of this clarity as the layer that resolves disputes and answers compliance questions once the underlying legal status of an asset is settled.
The UAE entered the ICC's top five arbitration seats in 2024. The Saudi Centre for Commercial Arbitration has sustained roughly sixty-five percent average annual caseload growth over four years. New institutions continue to launch across the region — arbitrateAD in Abu Dhabi, the Bahrain International Commercial Court — alongside ADGM's own Arbitration Centre and its 2022 commitment to join the Singapore Convention on Mediation. This is Solomaris's home advantage: a region actively building credible dispute-resolution infrastructure, provided Solomaris positions itself as the specialist layer for tokenized and digital-asset disputes, not a generic competitor to the seat-based institutions already established there.
To build trust in digital markets through legally binding digital arbitration, trusted legal intelligence, regulatory compliance, and programmable legal infrastructure.
To become the trusted legal institution powering the global digital economy.
Every era of commerce has built the legal infrastructure its complexity demanded: treaties and courts for the first age of trade, arbitration bodies for the age of global markets. The digital economy — instant, cross-border by default, denominated in assets the old system was never built to recognise — needs a legal layer built for it, not adapted to it after the fact.
Each pillar strengthens the others, creating one integrated legal infrastructure for digital markets — every registered contract is a future dispute, every mediated settlement is a future consent award, every verified document is a future piece of evidence.
A digital-first arbitral institution combining internationally recognised arbitration and mediation principles with AI-assisted case administration, cryptographically verifiable evidence, and smart-contract settlement. Covers arbitration, emergency arbitration, mediation, consent awards, digital evidence, and smart-contract settlement, with expert determination planned as a later addition.
Cross-border compliance, regulatory intelligence, subpoena response, sanctions analysis, licensing guidance, and legal risk management for regulated digital markets. Built for a buyer who is afraid of regulators, not in love with AI.
Decision support, not research: can we tokenize this, can we launch in ADGM, is this enforceable, what regulation applies. Retrieval, not generation — when the engine cannot find a verified authority, it says so rather than inventing one. Every decision-grade output routes through human counsel sign-off before it reaches a client.
Digital contract registration, evidence preservation, smart-contract integration, escrow, legal lifecycle management, and programmable settlement. Vault is the shared evidentiary and settlement engine underneath Arbitration, and it powers Solomaris Verify.
Enterprise APIs and integrations enabling financial institutions, governments, exchanges, and tokenization platforms to embed Solomaris services directly into their own systems.
Verifies document and record integrity — that a contract, RWA document, carbon credit record, corporate document, or arbitration award is cryptographically, provably unaltered since the date it was hashed. "Verified by Solomaris" is an integrity claim, not a legal-soundness opinion.
Solomaris Arbitration's protocol runs in four steps. File and stake: either party files on-chain, and both lock a security deposit into smart-contract escrow. Evidence sealed on-chain: every document is hashed and anchored to the ledger with a cryptographic timestamp — the hash, not the document, goes on-chain. Panel by verifiable random function: certified arbitrators are drawn by a cryptographic lottery that is provable on-chain. Verdict sealed, contract executes: on quorum, the panel's decision — recorded by encrypted ballot — is written to the chain, and the smart contract settles automatically where assets are pre-locked in escrow.
Solomaris Intelligence is built on retrieval-augmented generation over a curated corpus of authenticated primary legal sources, tagged by jurisdiction. It does not generate a citation from memory; it retrieves one from a verified document that exists, or declines to answer.
Solomaris Verify is not a separate technical system — it is the evidence-hashing primitive that underlies Arbitration and Vault, exposed as a standalone, self-serve integrity check.
Every arbitration agreement concluded under the Solomaris Arbitration Rules is structured to satisfy Article II of the 1958 New York Convention; every panel constituted under those Rules is structured to be a valid arbitral tribunal; every Award is structured to be a valid award capable of recognition and enforcement in any of the 172 states party to the Convention.
A settlement reached under the Solomaris Mediation Rules may be recorded as a consent Award, giving it the same 172-state New York Convention enforceability as an Award on the merits — currently the most reliable enforcement path. Direct enforcement under the 2019 Singapore Convention on Mediation is also available, but its coverage is materially thinner: roughly sixty states have signed it against far fewer ratifications, and neither the EU nor any member state has signed. The UAE has publicly committed, with ADGM's support, to becoming a signatory, and Saudi Arabia and Qatar have already ratified.
Solomaris operates through EAL LLC, a Wyoming entity, with its operating base in Abu Dhabi. Solomaris does not currently hold bar admission or SRA registration in any jurisdiction, and does not issue signed regulatory opinions directly. Where a client engagement requires a signed opinion from an admitted solicitor or advocate, Solomaris routes the engagement through appropriately admitted counsel. ADGM registration is an active strategic priority.
Five streams, one institution. Each pillar strengthens the others — every registered contract is a future dispute, every certified arbitrator is a future subscriber, every mediated settlement is a future consent award. Figures below are illustrative, forward-looking estimates; current rates are governed by the Solomaris Schedule of Fees, not by this document.
| Stream | Model | Yr 1 | Yr 2 | Yr 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arbitration filing fees | Per-dispute, banded by amount in dispute | $180k | $720k | $2.4m |
| Shield | Subscription | $60k | $200k | $500k |
| Intelligence | SaaS, monthly licence | $240k | $900k | $3.2m |
| Vault | Per-contract + enterprise licence | — | $1.08m | $4.7m |
| Connect | Monthly licence, scaled by volume | — | $100k | $600k |
| Total | $480k | $3.0m | $11.4m |
Projections are deliberately conservative and exclude global expansion, government procurement, and institutional partnership revenue.
No single existing player combines tokenized-asset-native arbitration, compliance, and verified legal-decision support in one institution. Real, credible competitors exist in each individual lane — the honest claim is the bundling, not novelty in any one lane.
The ICC, LCIA, SIAC, DIAC, and — closest to home — arbitrateAD in Abu Dhabi are credible, modernising, and actively competing with each other on speed. None are purpose-built for on-chain evidence or smart-contract settlement, and none bundle compliance or legal intelligence alongside arbitration.
Kleros has processed disputes since 2017 but has narrowed toward enterprise escrow and oracle-dispute use cases. Aragon Court discontinued in 2024. Jur has reduced to limited activity. The pattern across this category is narrowing ambition or discontinuation, not broad adoption.
The UK Jurisdiction Taskforce's Digital Dispute Resolution Rules, published in 2021, are the closest conceptual prior art. Five years on, legal commentary still describes adoption as unproven. Solomaris's differentiation is bundling this kind of purpose-built digital-asset arbitration with compliance and legal intelligence in one institution.
Harvey and LexisNexis AI are trained broadly and do not carry the retrieval-only, refusal-capable discipline Solomaris Intelligence is built around. Chainalysis and Elliptic provide transaction monitoring, not subpoena-response intelligence — the gap Solomaris Shield is built to fill.

“Digital markets deserve legal infrastructure built for them, not adapted to them decades later.”
— Artem Kocharyan, Founder, Solomaris
Every era of commerce builds the legal infrastructure its complexity demands. The digital economy — global, instant, denominated in assets the old system does not recognise — needs something built for it, not adapted to it. Solomaris is being built to be that layer.
The institution, regulator, or partner that helps build Solomaris is not improving an old system — it is helping found the one the digital economy will run on.
