Web3 · sub-niche
Real-world asset tokenization.
Tokenize real-world assets — real estate, treasuries, commodities — onchain.
Team-sized buildSteady — one deal per month
Why now
RWA tokenization is the institutional crypto wedge. Treasuries + RE + private credit are scaling.
What the signal looks like
Repos with smart-contract templates, KYC + accreditation libraries, and traditional-finance integrations.

What this displaces
A private REIT + paper signatures.
