Why is it easy for real-world assets to fail on the chain? To put it simply, the problem isn't with the blockchain itself, but with the bunch of off-chain files, contracts, and certificates.



For example, a solution like a leading oracle can indeed handle price data, but they only deal with transmitting numbers. The real trouble is: transaction documents, asset certificates, ownership recordsโ€”have these been tampered with? When were they changed? No one really knows.

IOTA has a concept in this area. Through a notarization mechanism, transaction documents, certificates, and asset records are directly inscribed onto the ledger. This way, you have a solid proof: at a certain point in time, the data looked like this, and whether it has been altered since then is clear at a glance.

Simply put, the circulation of RWA involves not just value, but also trust. And the foundation of trust is: this data has not been tampered with. IOTA's approach makes this verification process a default system behavior.

Those on-chain junk is the real black hole; no matter how awesome the oracle is, it can't save it.

That pile of offline paper proofs is really a big pit; oracles can only handle the price part.

Speaking of which, those offline paper things are the real black holes.

Off-chain data is indeed the key to RWA, but the notarization mechanism still sounds somewhat idealistic.

Ha, you're right. Off-chain data is the real black box.

ngl the whole "off-chain data integrity" angle is exactly what people keep glossing over when they shill RWA. empirically speaking, notarization sounds great on paper butโ€”where's the actual audit trail? who's verifying the notary itself? ๐Ÿค”

Haha, that pile of off-chain files is just a ticking time bomb, and oracles can't save it either.

At the end of the day, it's a trust issue. No one can solve the mess off-chain.
