Taurus Expands Stellar Integration with Smart Contract Support across Custody and Tokenization

Taurus has expanded its institutional infrastructure to provide full support for smart contract-based assets on the Stellar network. Through its Taurus-PROTECT custody platform and Taurus-CAPITAL tokenization engine, financial institutions can now issue, manage, and custody complex digital assets directly on Stellar. This integration supports various standards, including Stellar Asset Contracts, OpenZeppelin, and ERC-3643-based assets, also known as SEP-57. By enabling smart contract function calls and parameter handling, Taurus allows banks to deploy custom real-world asset structures while maintaining existing operational controls. This development builds upon a multi-year collaboration between Taurus and the Stellar Development Foundation, which previously included a 2025 initiative to tokenize renewable energy financing. The expansion is significant for the RWA market as it lowers the barrier for regulated entities to utilize Stellar's scalable infrastructure for sophisticated financial instruments. Ultimately, this move provides institutions with greater flexibility to choose blockchain environments without sacrificing the security or compliance standards required for tokenized securities and funds.
