Terms & Concepts
  • RWA: RWA stands for real-world assets, a crypto sector focused on tokenizing traditional assets such as bonds, credit, real estate, or insurance-linked instruments on blockchain networks.
  • Tokenization: Tokenization is the process of creating blockchain-based digital representations of assets or rights, allowing them to be tracked, transferred, or programmed onchain.
