Infrastructure

Built for Interoperability

RWA Chain utilizes optimistic rollups, a technology that streamlines transaction processing for real-world asset tokenization. Unlike zk-rollups, which generate cryptographic proofs for every transaction, optimistic rollups assume transactions are valid by default and submit them to the Ethereum mainnet without initial validation. This approach enables significantly faster transaction processing compared to zk-rollups, as it eliminates the need for computationally expensive proof generation.

Rollups batch hundreds of transactions into a single transaction in Layer 1. This bundle allows for a reduction in gas fees up to a 100x since costs are distributed among everyone in the rollup. Actually, as the number of users increases, the cheaper it is.

As they post the bundle in Layer 1, they inherit its security and the mainnet can focus on consensus and data availability. Additionally, since the batching is done off-chain, the only validation needed is that of the bundled transaction and, as a consequence, network congestion is lowered and TPS augmented.

Optimistic rollups function by having two types of nodes. There are nodes that collect and perform the calculations for the bundle of transactions. They must put up a stake to participate. We will call these nodes aggregators, but note that this role is sometimes also called the sequencer. The work done by these nodes is then checked by other nodes that watch the chain and submit fraud proofs when they suspect an inaccuracy. This second role is called a validator. These validators must make a stake before they can press a challenge and they get rewarded if the challenge is successful and penalized if it is not. If a challenge is successful, the validator receives some of the aggregator’s stake and the rest is burned. If a fraud proof is brought, it must be settled on the mainchain, which can be costly, so the system is intended to disincentivize unnecessary proofs.

However, safeguards are still crucial to prevent malicious actors. RWA Chain employs a "challenge period" – lasting 7 days. During this period, anyone can review the submitted data and generate a "fraud proof" if they identify invalid transactions.

RWA Chain is built upon the Bedrock release of the OP Stack. Bedrock closely mirrors Ethereum with minimal differences in opcodes, block structures, network specifications, and fees. This compatibility allows developers to seamlessly utilize existing EVM-compatible smart contracts within RWA Chain for complex agreements and automated processes.

Beyond raw efficiency, RWA Chain fosters a rich developer environment. It offers a comprehensive suite of additional tools, including oracles, data indexers, and network faucets that enhance its functionality. Additionally, RWA Chain integrates multiple cross-chain protocols, facilitating seamless interaction with other blockchain ecosystems. This broadens its application in tokenizing real-world assets across diverse blockchain landscapes.

By combining efficiency, developer-friendly features, and interoperability, RWA Chain empowers a new era of streamlined real-world asset tokenization.

You might recall the early days of the internet when its utility was relatively limited for most people. It was great for email and browsing for information, but building anything substantial required specialized coding skills. Then WordPress came along and simplified the process for anyone to launch a blog, a website, and eventually an e-commerce storefront. Today, a significant portion of the internet is powered by WordPress, and there exists an entire sector of the internet economy dedicated to building apps and services that support WordPress and its users.

We can draw a comparison, suggesting that rather than making the internet or the “online” experience more accessible, RWA chain is making the “onchain” or blockchain experience more accessible, particularly for real-world asset tokenization. This analogy serves as an effective explainer what we want to achive. After all, RWA chain is providing the infrastructure necessary for developers to create all kinds of apps and experiences that will bring real-world assets into the crypto sphere.

We could have just as easily compared RWA chain to Amazon Web Services (AWS), which powers a vast portion of the internet's backend, or to Apple’s App Store, which fostered a new developer-based economy and has enabled millions of startups to deliver new products and services through an easy-to-use platform.
