This does not mean transferring the building to a digital file. You must first check what rights, such as ownership, claims, profits, and use, are connected to the asset, and who guarantees them and by what contract.

The purpose is to express rights in small units, share previous records, or implement settlement rules as code. There is the possibility of increasing the efficiency of the process of verifying assets and reconciling records.

Minimum investment amounts, trading times, fees and repayment terms vary by product. Not everyone can participate in every asset for $1 or trade them all the time.

For tokens linked to gold, storage of actual gold, verification of quantity, and ownership and redemption rights are important. In the case of real estate, there is a need to distinguish between registration rights, token holder rights, collateral, and contracts.

Not all RWAs provide one-to-one correspondence or direct ownership of assets. You must check the issuance volume, reserve assets and rights exercise method in individual documents.
