A massive knowledge gap is holding back institutional allocators from RWA. I'm excited that the work @IvieSatijn and I are doing has been selected for an @OctantApp grant to solve RWA's biggest bottleneck. 🔎 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐎𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭? Octant helps to fund public goods for the Ethereum ecosystem. They've staked over 100,000 ETH to secure the network and support public goods by redirecting the staking yield to fund ecosystem projects through community voting. $3M+ has been distributed to 52+ projects so far. Every 90 days, $GLM holders vote on which projects receive funding through "Epochs." We're participating in Epoch 9 with our comprehensive RWA Standards Report. 🎓 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐩 In conversations with institutional allocators and traditional asset managers, we keep hearing the same thing. They know that tokenization is important, but they don't know WHICH standards to use or HOW. With Ethereum hosting over half of all RWAs, starting with demystifying the processes by which these assets come onchain is a great starting point. 📜 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 We'll Cover A non-exhaustive list of the standards we'll cover includes: ERC-721: Unique assets like real estate and collectibles - perfect for non-fungible tokenization ERC-1155: Hybrid approach allowing for fungible tokens to be associated with non-fungible assets ERC-4626: Yield-bearing vaults with direct 1:1 asset backing - ideal for funds and treasuries ERC-3643: Compliance-first with built-in identity management via ONCHAINID - designed for regulated securities ERC-7943: Universal RWA interface with flexible compliance primitives - the newest standard for institutional adoption Each serves different needs. Understanding when to use which is crucial. ‼️ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 The global securities market is $100+ trillion. Real estate, commodities, private credit, funds - trillions need to come onchain. But institutions are paralyzed by uncertainty about which approach to take. We're creating the objective, apples-to-apples comparison they need, covering compliance features, burn functions, force transfers, asset backing, and divisibility across standards. 🫵 You Can Help This report is a labor of love - something @IvieSatijn and I wanted to create anyway. Octant is giving us the resources to do it right. When Epoch 9's allocation window opens, your support will help us ensure this report reaches as many people as possible, and help to accelerate the biggest evolution in capital markets we've seen in 100 years. Stay tuned for more sleek infographics, explainer videos, and previews leading up to the full report. 😎
