Maalexi to Build World’s First Agricultural Asset Token Exchange on Avalanche

Hub71 startup Maalexi , an agri-trade FinTech focused on derisking and transforming cross-border food and agricultural supply chains, has announced plans to build the world’s first Agricultural Asset Token Exchange (MAATEX) on Avalanche. The platform will be powered by real-world asset (RWA) tokens, proprietary risk data, and embedded intelligence developed through Maalexi’s patented IoT-, blockchain-, and AI-driven technologies.

MAATEX will allow global buyers and suppliers to transact verified agricultural commodities stored in Maalexi-nominated warehouses or in transit through Maalexi-assigned shipping agencies. Transactions will be executed using Maalexi Agri Tokens (MATs), which represent insured, audited, traceable, and legally owned agricultural RWAs. Each token will be supported by Maalexi’s ecosystem of ten embedded technologies, including VeriPass, CredIQ, ContractIQ, Blockchain Auth, Inspectra, TrustPrice, ThreatScan, TrackFlow, ClimaSense, and StockIntel.

Through this integrated framework, MAATEX is expected to support instant ownership transfer, immediate settlement across borders, and digital assurance of procurement and performance for buyers. All MATs will be backed by insured inventory and insured receivables underwritten by global insurers, ensuring financial-grade reliability and legal transferability.

Maalexi’s existing RWA infrastructure has already demonstrated real-world performance at scale, including the delivery of millions of kilograms of agricultural produce, the execution of thousands of blockchain smart contracts, supply failure rates below one percent, and a 72 percent improvement in buyer capital efficiency by reducing cash conversion cycles.

Commenting on the announcement, Dr. Azam Pasha, Co-Founder and CEO of Maalexi, said: “Global food supply chains will require greater speed, trust, and full transparency as cross-border trade becomes more complex. On Avalanche we will build a tokenized exchange where every agri asset will carry built-in assurance and will move instantly across global markets. Our RWA engine will embed deep intelligence and multiple layers of risk data into every token, ensuring continuous validation and performance assurance throughout the procurement journey. By running MAATEX on Avalanche, we will combine this intelligence with high-performance blockchain infrastructure, enabling sub-second settlements, verified digital ownership, and a programmable trust layer that will redefine the reliability, scale, and efficiency of global agri trade.”

Rohit Majhi, Co-Founder and CTO of Maalexi, added: “MAATEX will be built on a deep technical foundation where every token will carry embedded intelligence driven by multiple layers of risk and performance oracles integrated directly into our RWA engine. By deploying this system on Avalanche, we will gain sub-second finality, massive scalability, and institutional-level security. This combination will allow us to deliver instant settlements, verified asset ownership, and a programmable framework for trusted food and agricultural trade.”

Khalid Dannish, MENA Head at Ava Labs, said: “By launching MAATEX on Avalanche, Maalexi is creating a new digital market infrastructure where tokenized agricultural assets can move with full transparency and embedded assurance. Avalanche’s enterprise-grade architecture provides the speed, trust, and scalability needed to power tokenized cross-border commodity flows.”

As a Hub71 startup, Maalexi continues to scale within Abu Dhabi’s technology ecosystem, supported through Hub71+ Digital Assets. The launch of MAATEX reflects growing momentum among Abu Dhabi-based technology firms contributing to the advancement of real-world asset tokenisation and next-generation digital trade infrastructure.
