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.

  1. Development and Validation

Action: Build and test

Technical Description: Develop against sandbox environments and simulate real asset flows.

  1. 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

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

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
