BlackRock Launches It's First Tokenized Fund on Ethereum
BUIDL Becomes the Largest Public Tokenized Fund in Record Time. Architected and developed BlackRock's first tokenized fund (BUIDL) on Ethereum, bridging institutional finance with public blockchains.
Responsible for architecting and developing BlackRock's first tokenized fund (BUIDL) on a public blockchain (Ethereum). This included designing the token smart contracts with Securitize (TA) and leading engineering work to support tokenized assets and their interactions with different protocols on Aladdin. "The engineering challenge was not just about the ERC-20 standard, but about ensuring compliance, security, and real-time settle-ability within existing institutional workflows," the report highlights. As of late 2025, the architecture is expanding across multiple Layer 2 protocols to ensure scalability for the next $100 Billion.
