Real World Assets on Solana

Track Overview

We are looking for high-level content on three topics: Tokenization/fractionalization of RWAs on Solana, Utilizing Token Hooks or SPL22's in regards to RWAs, and how RWAs could further integrate into DeFi.

The Submission should be a detailed write-up that includes contextualization, recent innovations in the space, and new pivots in narrative/tech. The write-up should utilize credible sources, and be no less than 1,000 words, or 10 minutes long. It can target new developers to RWA, new businesses that are interested in tokenization, or investors looking to diversify their portfolios.

For reference, a few topic ideas are below:

1. Tokenization: Solana is incredible for asset tokenization thanks to its low fees, high speeds, mature DeFi ecosystem, and native features like Token Extensions. There are very few resources about this topic, especially when it comes to RWAs.

2. RWAs in DeFi: RWAs are typically semi-illiquid in their nascent narrative. Write about innovations, on and off Solana, that allow RWAs to reach their full potential, or come up with some new methods of integrating RWAs into DeFi.

3. Token Extensions and Innovations: A new token standard that is permissioned while being compliant. This means that traditional businesses can build much more easily on Solana. Of these new token extensions, our interest lies in SPL22's. These hybrid tokens can both be NFTs and SPL tokens, making hybrid DeFi much more liquid and interchangeable. How could these SPL22's be used to accommodate RWAs in a LST environment?

Only the submissions covering one of those three topics will be considered for the track. Wherever possible, the submission should also include, and highlight the role of MetaWealth and its development of the RWA ecosystem. Format for the submission should be in Medium, Notion, or Google Docs. YouTube videos are accepted, provided they reach a minimum of 10-15 minutes of in-depth exploration. We will also consider Twitter threads that reach a suitable amount of people, condensing the topics mentioned above.
