RWA Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 rollup built on the OP Stack, purpose-built for tokenizing real-world assets — treasuries, real estate, private credit, and commodities — with compliance enforced at the protocol level. Trades, coupon payments, and redemptions execute in 2-second blocks for a fraction of a cent; the sequencer compresses thousands of transactions into batches and posts them to Ethereum; state roots finalize on L1 with fault proofs, so assets inherit Ethereum-grade security.
$817.4M RWA VALUE LOCKED / 94.2M TRANSACTIONS / 2.0S BLOCKS / $0.0004 MEDIAN FEE
Compliance lives in the protocol, not in a PDF. Native RWA-3643 permissioned tokens run every transfer through identity, eligibility, and jurisdiction checks before it settles: identity verified → eligibility check → transfer settled. Batches post to L1 every ~2 minutes, finality lands in ~12, and the canonical bridge moves stablecoins and assets between Ethereum and RWA Chain in about two minutes.
Asset-native standards
Where the network is headed
$RWAINC — protocol & utility token (network symbol RWA)
Gas is denominated in ETH, the standard OP Stack configuration — but holders never need to touch it. The forwarder lets a wallet sign a transaction and pay the fee in $RWAINC while a relayer settles the ETH, so $RWAINC is what a user actually spends, at a median of $0.0004 per transaction. Every fee the protocol itself charges is denominated in $RWAINC too: asset listing, the marketplace cut, and the relay margin all collect in it. Beyond fees, $RWAINC meters issuer registration and standard upgrades, funds builder grants from the ecosystem allocation, and will pay the attestation oracles once that network launches. Governance weight follows the token once the sequencer set decentralizes in 2027.
Fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 $RWAINC (ticker RWA) — allocated across network security, the ecosystem fund, asset issuers, and public distribution. Bridge it from Base in ~2 minutes; earn testnet tRWA from the faucet every 24 hours.
Security & trust
Security is layered, not promised. Open-source standards for every asset class, so the rules governing an asset can be read rather than taken on trust. Fault proofs anyone can challenge — the dispute bisects 2²⁰ execution steps down to one, and that single step is executed onchain, so the verdict comes from the EVM itself, not from a committee. Compliance runs before state transition on every transfer, with no path around it. The contracts are deliberately not upgradeable: an upgradeable security token means the issuer can rewrite the rules governing someone else's asset, which for a regulated instrument is worse than immutability.
What is not built yet, stated plainly: the protocol contracts are pending independent audit and have not been audited. There is no bug bounty programme. Attestation oracles, institutional custody integrations and the public status page are on the roadmap below, not live. We would rather you know the difference.
Trust is minimized, then verified. Don't trust — verify.
Common questions
What is RWA Chain? — An Ethereum Layer 2 rollup built on the OP Stack, purpose-built for tokenizing real-world assets — treasuries, real estate, private credit, and commodities — with compliance enforced at the protocol level.
How are assets kept compliant on-chain? — Compliance is protocol-level, not contract-by-contract. Every asset is issued as an RWA-3643 identity-bound token: a transfer only settles after the sender and receiver clear identity, eligibility, and jurisdiction checks against the on-chain KYC registry. There is no path around that check — it runs before state transition, on every transfer, forever. Linking each token to the real asset behind it is done by the issuer's attestation today; the oracle network that automates it is on the roadmap, not live.
What does it cost to transact? — The median transaction fee is $0.0004. Gas is denominated in ETH, but through the forwarder a user pays it in $RWAINC and never has to hold ETH. Blocks seal every 1.0 second, batches post to Base roughly every 8 minutes, and a full contract deployment costs about $0.0011 — economics that make daily coupon payments and small redemptions viable at any size.
Past the roadmap sits the quantum horizon. Signature schemes built on lattice problems stay hard even for Shor's algorithm, so a deed tokenized today is still yours after Q-day. And the metaphor runs deeper than the cryptography: a pending transfer, like a qubit, is every possible state at once — until it is measured, settles, and becomes final. Finality is collapse.
Ethereum security, L2 economics — verified with care and a lot of code.
RWA Chain is built to bring the full breadth of institutional real-world assets on-chain. The network supports financial instruments ranging from government and sovereign debt, Treasury bills, corporate bonds and investment-grade securities to private credit, direct lending, structured credit, asset-backed securities and other fixed-income products.
Beyond traditional debt markets, RWA Chain is designed for real-world financing and cash-flow assets, including trade finance, invoice and receivables financing, supply-chain finance, equipment financing, working-capital facilities and other forms of institutional credit.
The infrastructure also extends into real assets and alternative investments. This includes commercial and residential real estate, real-estate debt, infrastructure projects, renewable energy, aircraft and aviation assets, shipping, industrial equipment, agriculture and other income-generating physical assets. Institutions can also bring gold and other commodities, inventory-backed assets and warehouse receipts onto the network.
RWA Chain is equally suited to alternative and specialty assets, including private equity, venture capital, fund interests, revenue-sharing agreements, royalty streams, intellectual property, music and media royalties, entertainment financing, sports and entertainment rights, and other contractual or cash-flow-based assets.
The network can also support emerging categories of tokenised financial and digital assets, including tokenised currencies, tokenised deposits, stablecoins, asset-backed tokens, fund tokens, identity-bound securities, structured investment products and yield-bearing vaults.
Environmental and sustainability-linked markets form another category, including carbon credits, renewable-energy certificates and other environmental commodities.
Each asset can be structured according to its underlying legal and economic characteristics and represented through RWA Chain's native standards: RWA-20 for fungible exposure, RWA-721 for unique assets and deeds, RWA-3643 for identity-bound securities, and RWA-4626 for yield-distributing vaults.
Issuance follows a defined verification process: legal wrapper verified → custody attested → supply matched to the off-chain register → token minted. This creates a consistent framework for bringing institutional assets from traditional financial and physical markets into programmable, verifiable on-chain infrastructure.
Debt. Bonds. Credit. Real estate. Aviation. Commodities. Entertainment. Trade finance. Supply chain. Funds. And more.
