Aspecta: Using AI to Build On-Chain Certificates to Solve the Non-Liquidity Asset Problem

Recently, a project named Aspecta received strategic investment. This company is committed to building on-chain standards and trust mechanisms for illiquid assets in traditional capital markets. This article will provide a brief interpretation of Aspecta's design logic, product system, application progress, and industry potential.

Team Background

Aspecta was incubated at Yale University in 2022, with core team members from top universities and research institutions, holding multiple patents and research papers in the fields of AI and graph learning. The team includes a renowned academician serving as the chief scientist, as well as several senior engineers and growth leaders.

Pain Points Addressed

In traditional markets, a large number of assets such as early-stage equity, locked tokens, private equity, and real-world assets cannot be traded on public markets, lacking transparent pricing, which severely restricts liquidity and pricing efficiency. Aspecta proposes to give these "closed assets" an "on-chain" "life", not only achieving pricing but also providing trading capabilities, thus reducing information asymmetry and enhancing asset utilization.

Core Products

The design of Aspecta is divided into two mutually supportive paths:

BuildKey: Asset Standardization and Lifecycle Pricing

BuildKey presents non-liquid assets in a tradable ERC-20 token format. It supports multiple pricing methods, allowing assets to switch between different lifecycle stages. BuildKey has supported over 25 digital assets for pricing and has completed more than 50 million transactions.

Aspecta ID: AI-driven trusted identity protocol

Aspecta ID integrates data from GitHub commits, on-chain behavior, project contributions, etc., using AI algorithms to generate credit profiles for developers, projects, and asset issuers, and issues credit scores. Currently, over 54,000 GitHub developers have completed verification.

Product Linkage

BuildKey and Aspecta ID work together to create a complete closed-loop ecosystem from asset generation to trust establishment and then to transaction circulation. This mechanism not only promotes pricing transparency for early assets but also enables a positive cycle between the trust mechanism and Liquidity.

Community and Ecological Development

By mid-2025, Aspecta has attracted over 650,000 users to participate in the platform, including more than 54,000 developers verified through GitHub. BuildKey has supported the on-chain issuance and trading of over 25 types of non-liquid assets. The active participation of the community has accelerated the implementation of several new mechanisms.

Summary

Aspecta is building a "AI + Asset + Community" triangular structure, attempting to create a complete closed loop from identity recognition, asset packaging to on-chain governance and incentives. Although still in the early stages, it has already shown potential as underlying infrastructure and is expected to play an important role in connecting traditional capital with Web3.
