About Us
Redbelly was born at the University of Sydney when Prof. Vincent Gramoli set out to see if he could build a fork-proof blockchain.
Through a rigorous scientific development process and in partnership with CSIRO, the Redbelly Network was commercialised in 2021 with our Mainnet launch scheduled for late 2024.

Our Ambition
Redbelly's Compliant Asset Tokenisation solution is the bridge between the regulated Web2 economy of today and the Web3 economy of the future.
Redbelly is the only open and purpose-built accountable RWA network. Open, fast, scalable, cost effective and natively compatible with assets in regulated markets.
We bring the enforceability of rule of law regulation from the real world together with the efficiency of the Web3 world. No other blockchain can do what we can do.
“We built Redbelly to contribute to a world where everyone, everywhere has equal access to the economic infrastructure they need.
Compliant Asset Tokenisation makes that real."
- Vincent Gramoli, Founder & CTO
