What AREAL Builds

AREAL is a full-stack on-chain protocol for launching, governing, and scaling real-world asset projects. The protocol provides unified infrastructure where RWA projects can issue Ownership Tokens, connect to shared liquidity, distribute yield to holders, and govern their assets through market-driven mechanisms — all without building custom infrastructure from scratch. AREAL operates as a protocol layer, not as a custodial platform, fund, or asset manager.

Three Pillars of Architecture

AREAL’s architecture rests on three tightly integrated systems. Each one is designed to serve the unique demands of real-world assets — long investment horizons, real revenue, legal enforceability, and transparent capital allocation.

Governance & Futarchy

Every DAO Ownership Company on AREAL is governed through futarchy — a framework where proposals are evaluated by conditional markets, not by votes. For each proposal, two markets open: one pricing the token if the proposal passes, another if it fails. Traders express their expectations by trading, and the outcome is determined by comparing time-weighted average prices (TWAPs). This ensures that decisions are backed by real economic stakes, not rhetoric. Futarchy is purpose-built for RWA because real assets demand disciplined, outcome-oriented governance over long-term capital.

Native DEX

AREAL’s decentralized exchange is built specifically for yield-bearing tokens. Unlike standard AMMs, the AREAL DEX passes through the embedded yield of tokens in liquidity pools to LP providers — on top of regular swap fees. The DEX supports two pool types:
  • Concentrated liquidity pools (bin-based) — for RWT / USDY and RWT / USDC master pools, centered around NAV Book Value
  • Standard curve pools (x * y = k) — for RWT / Ownership Token pairs and RWT / third-party assets (tokenized equities, blue-chip tokens)
All pairs are denominated in RWT, creating a unified trading hub. A base swap fee of 0.5% is split 50/50 between LPs and AREAL DAO.

Yield & Reward Distribution

AREAL implements a no-staking reward model for Ownership Token holders. Simply holding OTs in your wallet is enough — the protocol tracks balances and accrues rewards every second. The process: a project DAO allocates revenue → funds are split 50/50 into RWT and USDY → deposited into the master liquidity pool for 12 months → earn additional yield from swap fees and token appreciation → withdrawn daily and distributed to holders in RWT. This mechanism amplifies rewards during distribution, unifies payouts across all projects, and strengthens the RWT economy.

How It All Connects

The three pillars form a self-reinforcing system:
Governance decides how revenue is allocated → Yield Distribution deploys funds into the DEX → the DEX generates fee revenue back into Governance
This creates a flywheel: better governance → smarter capital allocation → deeper liquidity → more trading volume → more fee revenue → more resources for governance and distribution.

Protocol Tokens

These three architecture pillars power the economic life of AREAL’s token ecosystem:

How It Works in Practice

This is what the AREAL experience looks like for someone who wants to build wealth, not trade:
1

Choose your exposure

Decide how you want to participate: RWT for diversified, vault-backed exposure to the entire portfolio — or specific Ownership Tokens for direct exposure to individual projects.
2

Capital works for you

Real-world assets generate revenue. That revenue flows through the protocol — growing RWT’s NAV Book Value, distributing yield to OT holders, and funding the Treasury.
3

Compound without effort

70% of RWT Vault yield is credited to book value automatically. Your position appreciates as real income flows in — no harvesting, no restaking, no manual compounding.
4

Governance handles the rest

Which assets to acquire, how to allocate capital, when to rebalance — all managed through futarchy governance by the community. You participate if you want, or simply hold and benefit.

Who AREAL Is For

RWA projects

Launch with ready-made infrastructure — DAO governance, liquidity pools, yield distribution, and treasury management. No need to build from scratch.

Token holders

Earn real-world yield by holding tokens. Participate in governance through markets. Access diversified RWA exposure via RWT.

Liquidity providers

Earn swap fees plus embedded token yield. Provide liquidity to yield-bearing pairs that generate returns from both sides.

Design Boundaries

AREAL does

Provide non-custodial on-chain infrastructure. Coordinate liquidity and incentives. Execute governance-approved actions. Distribute yield transparently.

AREAL does not

Guarantee returns or yields. Provide investment advice. Control project-specific business operations. Hold custody of user assets.
