Real-World Assets (RWA)
Real-world assets on-chain represent claims that are anchored to off-chain legal, operational, and settlement processes.
AlphaPing approaches RWA through a constraint-first lens: enforceability, transparency, and defined downside handling matter more than labels.
Additional Dependency Layers
RWA introduces dependency surfaces beyond protocol mechanics, including legal terms, counterparties, servicing processes, and off-chain settlement timing.
On-chain representation can improve observability of flows, but it does not remove off-chain dependencies that can affect outcomes.
Enforceability and Terms
The primary question for RWA is enforceability: what rights exist, how they are exercised, and how outcomes map back to the on-chain representation.
AlphaPing treats eligibility, concentration limits, and downside pathways as mandate-defined constraints that must be explicit before deployment.
Settlement and Accounting Alignment
RWA systems require alignment between on-chain execution and off-chain reality. Timing, servicing, and legal processes can affect realized outcomes even when on-chain state is clear.
Accounting treatment must remain consistent: realized outcomes are recognized as executed, without discretionary smoothing or narrative adjustment.
Downside Handling
Where RWA is used as collateral or credit exposure, downside pathways must be defined in advance. Liquidation and recovery are constrained by both on-chain mechanics and off-chain processes.
AlphaPing does not assume that token form implies liquidity or recovery. Constraints and execution behavior must remain explicit and reviewable.
What This Section Does Not Do
On-chain form does not eliminate counterparty, legal, operational, or market risk and does not replace due diligence on off-chain dependency surfaces.
It does not guarantee enforceability, liquidity, recovery, or outcomes, and it does not remove the need for legal and operational review.
