Fee Capture & Incentives

What this topic covers

REAL’s token exists to power network incentives and align behavior across:

  • validators securing the chain

  • business validators who onboard, score, and insure assets

What the REAL token is used for

The whitepaper describes REAL as a variable supply token used to:

  • incentivize validators and business enablers

  • act as collateral for security and accountability

  • be used as fee payment

  • ensure business entities onboard assets in good faith

Incentives split (who earns from the network)

REAL inflation rewards are split between:

  • Normal validators

  • Business enablers (tokenization / scoring / insurance companies)

The purpose is to pay the two groups that keep the system honest:

  • consensus security (validators)

  • asset lifecycle security (business validators)

Why this is different from most chains

Most chains reward only:

  • block producers / stakers
    REAL also rewards the “real-world layer” because RWAs require:

  • onboarding correctness

  • risk visibility

  • protection mechanisms
