Avalon Labs launches an on-chain AI marketplace and introduces a new Commercial Rights Tokenization (CRT) standard on BNB Chain.
-
The platform enables AI-Model-as-a-Service, allowing users to securely rent, train, and monetize AI models on-chain.

Backed by YZi Labs and Framework Ventures, Avalon aims to bridge the gap between AI, DeFi and real-world asset tokenization.
Avalon Labs has taken a big step in combining artificial intelligence and blockchain. The company has released its whitepaper introducing the world’s first on-chain AI-powered RWA marketplace and a new concept called AI-Model-as-a-Service (AI-MaaS).
The project is backed by YZi Labs and Framework Ventures and launched exclusively on BNB Chain.
“Today we are proud to announce the official release of our whitepaper for the first on-chain AI-enabled RWA marketplace and AI-Model-as-a-Service (AI-MaaS),” Avalon Labs said on X.
A new way to access AI models
Traditionally, AI developers rent GPU hardware to train or run their models. Avalon changes that. Instead of just renting computing power, the marketplace gives users access to ready-made AI models that have already been optimized and trained using reinforcement learning.
This approach, called AI-Model-as-a-Service, makes it easier for developers and enterprises to use advanced AI without having to manage hardware or complex training setups.
The first model is built on H200 GPU hardware, providing faster and more efficient access to powerful AI systems.
Convert real-world rights into on-chain tokens
In addition to the marketplace, Avalon introduced a new standard called Commercial Rights Tokenization (CRT). It’s a different look at how real-world assets (RWAs) are brought to the blockchain.
Rather than tokenizing property or securities, CRT tokenizes commercial rights – such as the right to use, access, or rent a service. These rights are legally recognized under US commercial law (UCC Articles 7, 9 and 12), providing token holders with enforceable claims.
Simply put, Avalon’s model focuses on utility. This allows things such as computing time, goods or services to be represented as legally valid digital tokens.
The structured marketplace
Avalon’s new marketplace operates on a two-tiered structure that mirrors traditional financial models:
- Senior Assignment (sAI): Designed for stable access to AI model rentals, priced at almost $1 and aimed at low-risk users.
- Junior Assignment (jAI): A higher risk, higher reward tier that delivers additional returns during high demand periods.
Both tokens represent tenancy rights. This setup combines predictable access for institutions with flexible options for retail or DeFi users.
A bridge between AI and DeFi
Avalon’s whitepaper also describes a powerful risk management system with automated contract monitoring, liquidity rules and clearly defined redemption windows. These features are intended to make the market transparent and secure.
By bringing together AI, blockchain and real-world assets, Avalon Labs is positioning itself as a key player in the next wave of digital infrastructure.
The project’s mix of legal support, on-chain transparency and real-world examples could set a new benchmark for how AI and DeFi work together.
