How to Build on Real
Overview
Real provides a unified developer stack for tokenizing, trading, and managing real-world assets. Developers can integrate at different layers of the ecosystem depending on whether they are building issuance tools, trading infrastructure, or token-based applications. The Real decentralized platforms are modular by design, allowing builders to start small and expand without re-architecting their integrations.
Why Build on Real
End-to-end RWA stack covering issuance, trading, and lifecycle management
Compliance-first architecture embedded at the protocol level
Institutional-grade design suitable for regulated capital and real assets
Composable infrastructure supporting modular and vertical builds
How to Start Building
Step
Technical Action
1. Integration Scoping
Action: Choose your integration layer
Technical Description: Decide whether you are building on Real Protocol, Real Exchange, Real Token, or multiple layers.
2. Technical Enablement
Action: Access developer resources
Technical Description: Review SDKs, APIs, and smart contract interfaces.
3. Environment Setup
Action: Set up environment
Technical Description: Configure wallets, test networks, and permissions.
Development and Validation
Action: Build and test
Technical Description: Develop against sandbox environments and simulate real asset flows.
Production Deployment
Action: Deploy and scale
Technical Description: Move to production with compliance and monitoring enabled.
Real Protocol
Overview
Real Protocol is the foundational layer for tokenizing real-world assets. It provides the smart contract frameworks, compliance logic, and lifecycle tooling required to represent off-chain assets on-chain in a regulated and enforceable way.
The protocol abstracts complex legal and compliance requirements into programmable logic, allowing developers to focus on building products rather than reinventing asset infrastructure.
Development Use-cases
Build asset-specific tokenization frameworks
Extend compliance and permissions logic
Create operational and administrative tooling
Opportunities
Area
Key Actions
Technical Description
Token standards
Design asset-aware token contracts
Implement smart contracts that encode ownership, rights, and lifecycle rules
Compliance modules
Enforce regulatory constraints
Integrate allowlists, transfer rules, and jurisdiction checks
Issuance tooling
Support asset onboarding
Build interfaces and automation for issuers and operators
Real Exchange
Overview
Real Exchange is the trading and settlement layer for tokenized real-world assets. It enables compliant primary issuance and secondary market activity while maintaining regulatory controls at every stage of the transaction lifecycle.
The exchange is designed to support institutional-grade liquidity, transparent pricing, and on-chain settlement without sacrificing compliance or security.
Development Use-cases
Build trading interfaces and execution tools
Support liquidity formation and market infrastructure
Improve settlement, reporting, and post-trade operations
Opportunities
Area
Key Actions
Technical Description
Trading applications
Create market access tools
Build front-end and API-driven trading experiences
Liquidity systems
Enable price discovery
Develop AMMs, RFQ engines, or order-book integrations
Settlement tooling
Automate post-trade workflows
Handle clearing, reconciliation, and regulatory reporting
Real Token
Overview
Real Token is the native ecosystem token that aligns incentives across issuers, traders, developers, and users. It is designed to power access, participation, and governance across the Real ecosystem.
Rather than serving as a speculative asset, Real Token is intended to reflect actual network usage and economic activity.
Development Use-cases
Design token-based utility and access models
Build incentive mechanisms tied to real usage
Participate in governance and ecosystem coordination
Opportunities
Area
Key Actions
Technical Description
Utility design
Implement access and fee models
Use Real Token for protocol access, discounts, or premium features
Incentive systems
Reward productive behavior
Build staking, rebates, or rewards tied to network activity
Governance tools
Enable protocol governance
Create voting and proposal mechanisms for ecosystem decisions
