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)
