Real Blockchain
Overview
Real is a sovereign Layer-1 blockchain for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. It delivers EVM compatibility, high throughput, and fast finality, while introducing native modules for issuance, secondary trading, and yield distribution. Developers can deploy existing Solidity contracts without modification, extend them with Real’s REAL-20 token standard, and integrate compliance features (KYC, transfer restrictions) directly into smart contracts. The network is powered by the $REAL token, which secures consensus through validator and delegator staking and pays for transactions as gas.
Key Features
Layer-1 Sovereignty: Independent validator set, and consensus.
High Performance: Supports rapid block production and near-instant transaction finality, making it suitable for institutional-scale asset tokenization and trading.
EVM Compatibility: Fully compatible with existing Ethereum-based smart contracts and developer tools, ensuring seamless migration and interoperability.
Cross-Chain Interoperability: Built with native support for bridging tokenized assets across other major blockchain ecosystems.
Native RWA Framework: Integrated modules for asset issuance, KYC/AML verification, and regulatory alignment to facilitate tokenized real-world assets.
Low-Cost Transactions: Optimized fee structure ensures affordable transactions even at scale, encouraging both institutional and retail participation.
Institutional Compliance: Built-in hooks for permissioned tokens, transfer restrictions, and KYC integration.
Technical Architecture
Real operates on a dual-layer architecture optimized for both performance and decentralization. The consensus layer ensures network integrity and validator synchronization, while the execution layer manages smart contracts, transactions, and RWA modules. The network’s modular design allows independent scaling and upgrades without disrupting core functionality.
Validators maintain consensus through a Proof-of-Staked Authority (PoSA) mechanism, combining delegated staking security with authority-based validation for high throughput and predictable block times. Each block includes deterministic finality, enabling real-time asset transfers and settlements critical for institutional use cases.
Transaction Lifecycle
Submission: A user, dApp, AI agent, or contract submits a transaction to the network (deploy contract, token swap, offering purchase, etc.).
Validation: The transaction is broadcast to validator nodes for signature and consensus verification.
Execution: Once validated, the transaction is executed in the EVM-compatible runtime, updating the global state.
Block Inclusion: The transaction is packaged into a new block, signed by validators, and added to the chain.
Finality: Once the block is sealed, the transaction achieves deterministic finality and becomes immutable.
This lifecycle ensures both speed and reliability, allowing near-instant settlements for RWA trading, issuance, and redemption.
Component Breakdown
Consensus Engine: Responsible for block validation, validator selection, and consensus finality.
Execution Layer: EVM-compatible runtime environment that processes transactions and smart contracts.
Governance Module: On-chain governance framework allowing community proposals, validator updates, and network parameter adjustments.
Bridge Module: Facilitates secure asset transfer and cross-chain communication between Real and other blockchains.
Oracle Layer (Future): Integrates off-chain data sources for asset verification, pricing, and compliance checks.
RWA Registry (Future): Maintains metadata and audit trails for tokenized assets issued on the network.
Gas and Fees
Real employs a gas-based fee system similar to EVM-compatible chains but optimized for efficiency. Gas fees are calculated based on computational and storage requirements per transaction, with dynamic fee adjustment mechanisms to maintain network stability. The $REAL token is the sole gas token.
A portion of the transaction fees is redistributed to validators and delegators as staking rewards, while another fraction contributes to the Real Treasury for ecosystem development and sustainability. The result is a self-sustaining economic model aligned with network growth and adoption.
Security Model
Real’s security is anchored in its Proof-of-Staked Authority consensus, which combines the decentralization of staking with the performance and reliability of an authority-based system. Validators are required to stake tokens, ensuring economic accountability and alignment of incentives.
Additional layers of security include:
Slashing and Reward Mechanisms to discourage malicious behavior.
Transaction Finality to prevent chain reorganizations.
Network Monitoring and Audits to ensure continuous system integrity.
Regulatory and KYC Modules to mitigate risk for institutional participants.
Key Technical Benefits
Sovereign Layer-1: Independence from Ethereum or any parent chain.
Optimized for RWAs: Native support for compliant tokenization, offerings, and yield distribution.
Fast and Scalable: Engineered for thousands of transactions per second, ensuring real-time performance for asset markets.
Deterministic Finality: Instant confirmation and zero-risk settlement make it ideal for financial use cases.
Ecosystem Interoperability: Native bridge and cross-chain capabilities foster liquidity and composability across ecosystems.
Sustainability: The network’s fee and validator model ensures long-term economic stability without dependency on external subsidies.
Regulatory Readiness: Built-in frameworks to support compliance, KYC, and AML requirements for real-world adoption.
Developer and User Experience
Developers can deploy smart contracts using familiar Ethereum tools such as Remix, Hardhat, and MetaMask, while users benefit from a seamless, Web3-compatible experience. The network’s APIs, SDKs, and documentation are designed to minimize friction and accelerate integration for wallets, dApps, and enterprises.
Real also provides developer grants, TestNets, and tooling support to encourage ecosystem innovation and RWA-focused application development.
Why Build on Real?
Real provides the infrastructure and regulatory alignment needed to unlock the full potential of real-world asset tokenization. It combines a high-performance blockchain with a sustainable economic model and enterprise-grade compliance features, positioning itself as the backbone for the next era of digital assets.
