Every Asset, Canonical.
Mint·Bridge·Markets·Govern·Launch
Sunrise Mint is the canonical minting mechanism for transferring external assets on-chain — tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, and bonds — accelerating the formation of deep liquid markets for every real-world asset.
The Canonical Transfer
Mechanism
Sunrise Mint creates canonical on-chain tokens for every external asset — the authoritative, protocol-endorsed representation that unifies liquidity and accelerates market formation.
Asset Verification
External assets are verified by Sunrise Mint's Canonical Oracle Network — price feeds from Pyth, Chainlink, and proprietary TradFi data partners — establishing on-chain price authority.
Collateral Lock
Regulated custodians lock 1:1 off-chain collateral — real shares, physical commodities, or bonds — verified by Sunrise Mint's Proof of Reserve system with on-chain attestations every 15 minutes.
Canonical Mint
The Sunrise Mint smart contract issues the canonical token (cAAPL, cGOLD, cSPY, etc.) — the ecosystem-recognized standard representation. No competing wrapped versions, no liquidity fragmentation.
Market Formation
Canonical tokens flow into DEX pools, lending protocols, and derivatives markets automatically — accelerating deep liquid markets. Canonical status ensures cross-protocol acceptance from day one.
1,240+ Canonical Assets
Every token in the Sunrise Mint registry is the canonical on-chain representation — unified liquidity, zero fragmentation, full DeFi composability.
Deep Markets
From Day One
Canonical status ensures every Sunrise Mint token is accepted across all major DeFi protocols — AMMs, lending markets, derivatives — creating liquidity immediately at genesis.

Every Chain.
Sunrise Mint's canonical tokens bridge natively across Ethereum, Solana, Arbitrum, Base, and more — always retaining canonical status and unified liquidity.
Canonical Bridge
Move cAAPL, cGOLD, cSPY and any canonical asset between chains in 2–5 minutes. Wormhole-secured message passing preserves canonical token identity across all networks.
Canonical Markets
Canonical tokens integrate automatically with Uniswap, Raydium, Curve, Aave, and 40+ DeFi protocols. Canonical status means no fragmented liquidity — one token, one deep market.
Asset Launch
Submit new real-world assets for canonical minting via governance. Any verifiable asset with an oracle price feed can be proposed, voted on, and launched with instant canonical status.
Decentralized Canonical
Governance
The Sunrise Mint canonical registry is governed by the Sunrise DAO — token holders vote on new asset listings, oracle sources, backing standards, and protocol parameters.
Sunrise DAO
Vote on canonical asset listings, oracle provider approvals, custodian whitelisting, and fee parameters. Every decision that determines what gets canonical status goes through on-chain governance.
Proof of Reserve
Every canonical asset is backed 1:1 by verified off-chain collateral. Sunrise Mint's Proof of Reserve system runs on-chain attestations every 15 minutes — fully auditable and transparent.
Canonical Standards Board
Elected technical experts from TradFi and DeFi govern the canonical token standard — ensuring cToken interoperability, security audits, and compliance with evolving global regulations.
Everything About Sunrise Mint
What is Sunrise Mint?
Sunrise Mint is a canonical minting protocol that transfers external real-world assets — tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, bonds, and REITs — onto blockchain networks as canonical tokens. Canonical means these tokens are the protocol-endorsed, ecosystem-recognized standard representation, preventing liquidity fragmentation and enabling immediate DeFi composability.
What is a canonical mint?
A canonical mint is the authoritative on-chain token for a given external asset. Unlike synthetic or wrapped versions created by competing protocols, a canonical mint from Sunrise Mint is the single accepted standard across DEXes, lending markets, and derivatives protocols — ensuring all liquidity pools for cAAPL, for example, use one token, not 12 competing versions.
How does Sunrise Mint accelerate market formation?
Canonical status means DeFi protocols pre-integrate Sunrise Mint tokens before they even launch. When a new asset gets canonical listing via DAO governance, liquidity mining programs activate automatically, DEXes deploy canonical pools, and lending markets list them as collateral — creating deep markets from day one rather than months of fragmented bootstrapping.
Which assets can be minted via Sunrise Mint?
Sunrise Mint supports canonical minting for tokenized equities (stocks like cAAPL, cTSLA, cNVDA, cMSFT, cGOOG), US and international stock indices (cSPY, cQQQ), exchange-traded funds (ETFs), commodities (cGOLD, cSILVER, cOIL), government bonds (cTBILL, cTNOTE), corporate bonds, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and any asset with a verifiable oracle price feed.
Are Sunrise Mint canonical tokens backed 1:1?
Yes. Every canonical token issued by Sunrise Mint is backed 1:1 by verified off-chain collateral held by regulated, licensed custodians. Sunrise Mint's Proof of Reserve system publishes on-chain attestations every 15 minutes, allowing anyone to verify total collateral matches total canonical token supply at any time.
What is the difference between a canonical token and a synthetic?
Synthetic tokens (like those on Synthetix) track price via oracle but have no real backing — they are collateral-backed derivatives. Canonical tokens from Sunrise Mint are backed 1:1 by the actual underlying asset held in regulated custody. Canonical tokens also carry ecosystem-endorsed status, meaning they're recognized as the standard across DeFi, while synthetics often compete with many other versions of the same asset.
What is Proof of Reserve on Sunrise Mint?
Sunrise Mint's Proof of Reserve (PoR) is an automated on-chain verification system that checks custodian balances against total canonical token supply every 15 minutes. Attestations are published to the blockchain via Chainlink PoR and Sunrise Mint's own oracle network, creating a transparent, tamper-proof audit trail accessible to anyone.
How does the canonical bridge work?
Sunrise Mint's canonical bridge uses Wormhole's cross-chain messaging protocol to move canonical tokens between networks while preserving their canonical status. A cAAPL locked on Ethereum unlocks the same canonical cAAPL on Solana, Arbitrum, or Base — maintaining a single global supply and one unified liquidity pool across all chains.
Which blockchains does Sunrise Mint support?
Sunrise Mint currently supports Ethereum (EVM), Solana (SVM), Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Polygon. Cross-chain canonical bridging ensures tokens retain canonical status and unified supply regardless of which chain they operate on. More chains are added via Sunrise DAO governance vote.
Who are the custodians for Sunrise Mint assets?
Sunrise Mint works with regulated, licensed financial custodians that are approved via Sunrise DAO governance. Custodians must hold required licenses (e.g., broker-dealer, futures commission merchant, or equivalent), maintain segregated accounts, and submit to Proof of Reserve attestation every 15 minutes. Custodian identities and wallet addresses are publicly disclosed on-chain.
Can I redeem canonical tokens for the underlying asset?
Qualified users can redeem canonical tokens for the underlying off-chain asset (e.g., actual Apple shares, physical gold, or cash equivalent) through Sunrise Mint's redemption module. Standard users can always swap canonical tokens for USDC or stablecoins on DEXes at oracle-fair market price. Redemption is available 24/7 with no lock-up periods.
Do canonical token holders receive dividends?
Yes. Canonical equity tokens (cAAPL, cTSLA, etc.) pass through any dividends or corporate actions from the underlying stock to token holders. Dividends are distributed daily in USDC at 00:00 UTC proportional to your canonical token holdings. Corporate actions (splits, mergers) are reflected automatically in the canonical token supply.
What oracle does Sunrise Mint use for asset pricing?
Sunrise Mint uses a multi-oracle architecture for maximum reliability: Pyth Network (sub-second equity prices), Chainlink (commodity and FX feeds), and Sunrise Mint's own Canonical Oracle Network (CON) which aggregates from 8+ professional TradFi data providers including Bloomberg and Refinitiv. Oracle failures trigger automatic circuit breakers protecting users.
How is Sunrise Mint governed?
Sunrise Mint is governed by Sunrise DAO, where SRMINT token holders vote on canonical asset listings, oracle approvals, custodian whitelisting, fee parameters, and protocol upgrades. Governance uses a weighted voting system with longer staking locks granting higher voting power. All votes and proposals are fully on-chain and transparent.
What is the SRMINT governance token?
SRMINT is the native governance and fee-sharing token of Sunrise Mint. Holders vote on protocol governance, stake for yield from protocol fees, and access premium features including priority canonical listings and higher redemption limits. SRMINT is distributed to early adopters, liquidity providers, and protocol contributors via a transparent emissions schedule.
Are Sunrise Mint canonical tokens regulated securities?
Canonical tokens representing equities are structured as digital receipts backed by regulated custodial positions, not as direct securities. Sunrise Mint operates within applicable legal frameworks in supported jurisdictions. Users are required to complete identity verification for certain asset classes. Always consult applicable local regulations — Sunrise Mint is not available to restricted jurisdictions.
What fees does Sunrise Mint charge?
Minting fee: 0.10% of notional value. Redemption fee: 0.10%. No holding fees — canonical tokens cost nothing to hold. Bridge fee: $0.50 flat per cross-chain transfer. Fees are paid in USDC and distributed: 40% to SRMINT stakers, 40% to protocol treasury, 20% to oracle network operators. No hidden or recurring fees.
How do canonical tokens integrate with DeFi protocols?
Canonical tokens use the standard ERC-20 (EVM) and SPL (Solana) token interfaces, making them automatically compatible with any DeFi protocol. Sunrise Mint's canonical registry publishes integration metadata (price feeds, risk parameters) for protocols like Aave, Compound, Uniswap, and Curve, enabling one-click listings. This is why canonical tokens achieve deep market liquidity far faster than non-canonical alternatives.
What is the Sunrise Mint canonical token standard (cToken)?
cToken v2 is Sunrise Mint's canonical token standard — a smart contract specification that extends ERC-20/SPL with on-chain metadata for: underlying asset type, custodian address, PoR attestation hash, oracle source, and dividend distribution logic. Any protocol can read cToken metadata to verify canonical status without trusting a centralized source.
How do I propose a new asset for canonical minting?
Any SRMINT holder can submit an Asset Listing Proposal (ALP) via Sunrise DAO. Requirements: verifiable oracle price feed, identified compliant custodian, minimum liquidity commitment of $1M, legal opinion memo, and 50,000 SRMINT deposit. Proposals are voted on over 5 days — passing with a 60% supermajority. Passed assets go live within 14 days of vote confirmation.
What happens to canonical tokens during market halts?
When underlying traditional markets halt (e.g., NYSE circuit breaker), Sunrise Mint activates its Market Halt Protocol: oracle price freezes at last valid price, new minting is paused, but existing canonical token transfers and DEX trading continue freely. This mirrors how existing derivative markets handle halts without disrupting on-chain holders.
Can canonical tokens be used as DeFi collateral?
Yes. Canonical tokens are accepted as collateral across major DeFi lending protocols that have integrated the Sunrise Mint canonical registry. cGOLD, cTBILL, and blue-chip equity canonicals (cAAPL, cMSFT) typically carry 70–85% loan-to-value ratios. This enables leveraged strategies, yield on held positions, and efficient capital use — the core DeFi composability benefit of canonical status.
How does Sunrise Mint handle corporate actions (stock splits)?
When a stock splits (e.g., Apple 4:1), Sunrise Mint's Corporate Action Oracle detects the event from SEC filings and custodian confirmation, then executes an on-chain rebase: existing cAAPL holders receive 4x tokens at the new price automatically. This happens within the same trading day as the traditional market action, with zero user intervention required.
Is Sunrise Mint audited?
Yes. Sunrise Mint smart contracts are audited by Trail of Bits, Zellic, and OtterSec. Audit reports are published on-chain and on our GitHub. The protocol also runs a $2M continuous bug bounty program via Immunefi, covering all critical and high-severity vulnerabilities. Audits are repeated after every major protocol upgrade.
What markets can I trade canonical tokens on?
Canonical tokens trade on: Uniswap v3/v4 (Ethereum), Raydium and Orca (Solana), Curve Finance (stable/canonical pools), Aerodrome (Base), and all major DEX aggregators (Jupiter, 1inch, Paraswap). Centralized exchange listings are in progress. Any platform that accepts standard ERC-20 or SPL tokens can list canonical assets without additional integration work.
How does canonical minting differ from tokenized ETFs like BlackRock BUIDL?
Institutional tokenized funds like BUIDL are permissioned (qualified investors only, $5M minimums, limited transferability). Sunrise Mint canonical tokens are permissionless (available to any wallet globally), composable with DeFi, transferable 24/7, and tradeable on open DEX markets. Sunrise Mint focuses on enabling open market formation — not gated institutional products.
What is the Sunrise Mint liquidity bootstrapping mechanism?
When a new canonical asset launches, Sunrise Mint deploys a Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) that distributes initial canonical tokens over 48 hours with a declining price mechanism — ensuring fair price discovery. Protocol treasury provides matching USDC liquidity, and SRMINT stakers receive bonus emissions for providing canonical token liquidity in the first 30 days.
How does Sunrise Mint handle off-chain market closures (weekends)?
Traditional equity markets close on weekends and holidays, but canonical tokens trade 24/7 on-chain. During market-closed periods, Sunrise Mint freezes new minting and redemptions at last-close price, but DEX trading continues freely at market-discovered prices. This can create slight premiums or discounts to NAV — the same behavior as ETF after-hours trading — which arbitrageurs correct at market open.
What wallets support Sunrise Mint?
Any wallet supporting ERC-20 (Ethereum/EVM) or SPL (Solana) tokens works with Sunrise Mint canonical tokens. Recommended wallets for the Sunrise Mint app: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow (EVM); Phantom, Solflare, Backpack (Solana). Hardware wallets (Ledger, Trezor) are fully compatible. The Sunrise Mint app also supports WalletConnect for 300+ additional wallet options.
What is the total addressable market for canonical RWA minting?
Global financial markets hold over $400 trillion in equities, bonds, real estate, and commodities. Today less than 0.05% of these assets exist on-chain. Sunrise Mint's canonical minting mechanism is positioned to capture a significant share of this tokenization wave — with analysts projecting $10–16 trillion in tokenized assets by 2030, representing a 100,000x growth opportunity from today's on-chain RWA market.
How do I track my canonical token portfolio performance?
Connect your wallet on Sunrise Mint to access a full portfolio dashboard: current canonical token holdings, P&L vs entry price, accrued dividend history, Proof of Reserve verification for each held asset, and full transaction history. You can also track canonical token prices via DeFiLlama, CoinGecko (canonical assets are tagged "Sunrise Mint"), and major on-chain analytics platforms.
