About PerenaPerena makes onchain finance usable for normal people. We're building the layer where real-world assets — dollars, treasuries, credit, yield — become as easy to hold and earn on as money in a bank app, minus the bank. "But Why? — Blockchain" is our series putting the honest questions about tokenization and RWAs to the people who work in finance every day.MissionCreate original street-interview content capturing how TradFi professionals actually react to tokenization and Real-World Assets (RWAs). Head to your city's financial district and talk to people who work in or around traditional finance — bankers, analysts, advisors, fund folks, fintech workers. We want real, unscripted reactions: the skepticism, the curiosity, the "wait, you can do that?" moments.What makes a great submissionThe best videos feel like eavesdropping on an honest conversation, not a promo. We're not looking for people who already agree with us — we want to see someone hear about RWAs for the first time and genuinely react.Interview flow (adapt naturally; don't read them like a script):<ol class="list-node"><li>What do you do in finance? (establishes they're actually TradFi — this matters)</li><li>Have you heard of "tokenization" or "real-world assets"? What do you think it means?</li><li>After a short, plain-English explanation from you: Does this sound useful, or like a solution looking for a problem? Push them to be honest.</li><li>Where do you see traditional finance being slow, expensive, or frustrating — the kind of thing a better ledger might fix?</li><li>Would you ever want your own savings earning yield onchain? Why or why not?</li></ol>Mention Perena: Close the video by telling viewers this was made for Perena's "But Why? — Blockchain" series, and add a clear caption + link directing people to watch the full series and/or check out Perena.Submission Requirements<ul class="list-node"><li>Platform: X, LinkedIn (LinkedIn strongly encouraged — that's where your TradFi audience lives), or Instagram</li><li>Format: Link to the published post.
