While Zeus highlights the enormous potential of Solana in terms of interoperability, other projects are taking advantage of its novel capabilities to support “real-world assets”. Thanks to its high throughput, Solana has emerged as one of the best platforms for RWAs, which are tokenized versions of physical assets such as stocks and shares, bonds, commodities such as precious metals or oil, real estate, bottles of fine wine, art and more. Solana’s advantage comes from the Solana Program Library token standard and Metaplex NFT standard, which enable efficient transactions and enhance liquidity.
The RWA protocol Parcl supports the creation of tokenized real estate markets in specific geographic regions across the world, while Homebase DAO is a platform for tokenizing real estate assets to enable fractional ownership.
The private credit platform Credix Finance provides a way for investors to deposit Solana-based stablecoins into liquidity pools or invest in tranches of specific RWA deals. It also facilitates borrowing in USDC, serving fintech companies in emerging markets.
Meanwhile, the price oracle Pyth Network is essential for supporting RWAs with its real-time data feeds that can be updated in milliseconds upon request. This diversity of projects on Solana underscores its enormous potential as an RWA tokenization platform.
