On-Chain Risk Scoring
The core idea
REAL makes risk visible by embedding it in the asset token itself, not in a separate dashboard.
The 3 asset types on REAL
Any cash-flow asset can be onboarded as:
-
Unsecured: tokenized only (highest risk)
-
Scored: tokenized + probability-of-default (PD) score
-
Insured: cash flows partially/fully insured (lowest risk)
Risk grades (A–F)
REAL also uses embedded risk classification grades inside token metadata:
-
A: all cash flows + principal insured
-
B: >75% cash flows insured
-
C: ≤75% cash flows insured
-
D: no insurance + low PD
-
E: no insurance + high PD
-
F: no insurance + no PD
“Colored tokens” (important concept)
One real-world asset can have multiple “versions” on-chain:
-
Same bond, different insurance coverage → different token options → different price/risk.
Users choose the token that matches their risk appetite.
Why embedding risk matters
Because it makes assets:
-
Composable across DeFi (apps can read risk from the token)
-
Transparent for users
-
Easier to compare (A vs D vs F is instantly meaningful)
