Real-World Assets (RWAs) are exactly what they sound like — physical or financial assets tokenized on the blockchain. Think real estate, commodities, or stocks, but without the usual headaches: no middlemen, no endless paperwork, and no insane upfront costs. Instead of being locked behind banks and brokers, RWAs can be fractionally owned, traded, and used in DeFi. Imagine owning a slice of a rental property in seconds — no agents, no six-figure investment, just direct on-chain ownership.
How Mavryk Does It Differently
Most blockchains trying to bring RWAs on-chain still rely on centralized entities. You might own a token that represents a property or stock, but ultimately, a third party controls the asset. Mavryk flips that model with MRC-30 tokens.
MRC-30, The RWA Token Standard
MRC-30 is Mavryk’s custom token standard for RWAs, allowing assets to be issued, traded, and managed fully on-chain — no centralized approval needed. This means:
- Self-custody → Your assets stay in your control, not with banks or third parties.
- Programmability → RWAs can be integrated into DeFi for lending, staking, and more.
- Trustless ownership → Everything runs on smart contracts, ensuring security and transparency.
Investing in RWAs on Mavryk
Mavryk makes RWA investing simple with Equiteez, its on-chain RWA marketplace. Instead of dealing with brokers and legal fees, you can buy, sell, and manage assets directly on-chain. Want fractional ownership of real estate or commodities? Equiteez makes it happen.
I’ve already covered how to access Equiteez in my Mavryk testnet guide, so check that out if you want to get started.
The Future of RWAs in Crypto
RWAs are shaping up to be one of the biggest shifts in blockchain adoption. Instead of just trading speculative tokens, we’re moving toward assets tied to real-world value. Mavryk is leading the way with a decentralized, transparent, and accessible approach.
So, the real question is — are you ready to own something real on-chain?
