ACTUS Protocol is based on an open-source implementation of the [ACTUS](https://www.actusfrf.org/) standard in Solidity. It allows to issue, progress and tokenize ACTUS compliant assets on Ethereum.

All assets have a unified term sheet and a clear and well-defined schedule. External data, such as changing interest rates are supported through external market objects which can be connected to oracles. Assets can have credit enhancements such as on-chain collateral or legal guarantees.

ACTUS assets are registered in an asset registry. They are progressed through their lifecycle according to their schedule. An Asset's schedule, which is the basis for the protocol's state machine, is derived from its terms using the solidity implementation of ACTUS, guaranteeing a common understanding about *who owes what to whom and when*.

**Core features:**

* Issue financial assets
* Progress assets throughout their life cycle
* Tokenize cash flows of assets
