RWA & Tokenized Equity Resources

Some of the most established RWA issuers use LayerZero's OFT Standard for cross-chain distribution. Examples include Ondo Finance (OUSG tokenized treasuries; 400+ tokenized equities) and Ethena (USDtb, a tokenized fund backed by BlackRock's BUIDL). In aggregate, over $75B in RWAs rely on the OFT Standard, spanning stablecoins, tokenized Treasuries, tokenized equities, commodities, and yield-bearing tokens.

RWA issuers deploy their asset using the OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) Standard. Supply is burned on the source chain and minted natively on the destination, so the tokenized asset stays the same instrument everywhere it exists. Every transaction is verified by the issuer's chosen DVN providers and produces a full audit trail across every chain. That trail is critical for regulated instruments like tokenized Treasuries, equities, and funds.

Multi-AssetOFT (formerly NexusOFT) is a version of the OFT Standard purpose-built for issuers with many assets on many chains, like a suite of 400+ tokenized equities. Instead of deploying and managing a separate contract set for each asset on each chain, issuers use one Multi-AssetOFT deployment to orchestrate an entire product suite. Ondo Finance uses Multi-AssetOFT for their tokenized equity products. For asset issuers looking to issue a suite of many assets across many chains, LayerZero has a long history of working directly with issuers to design and implement bespoke solutions.

Tokenized RWAs represent regulated financial instruments, commonly treasuries, equities, funds, credit. That means the cross-chain infrastructure has to satisfy the same legal and compliance standards as the underlying asset. Traditional bridges create wrapped IOUs that fragment supply, depend on the bridge operator, and create reconciliation gaps that regulators can't accept. OFT uses burn-and-mint to keep the tokenized asset unified across every chain. The issuer owns the deployment end to end. They pick their own validators from 55+ DVN providers and produce the audit trail directly with no third-party dependency.

Compliance requirements for RWAs vary by jurisdiction, asset class, and regulator. The OFT Standard gives RWA issuers the controls they need to enforce their own obligations directly, including allow-lists and deny-lists for KYC/AML, per-chain rate limits, pause and lock functions, and a complete cross-chain audit trail. Contracts are immutable and open-source. Because the issuer controls the deployment end to end, examiners can verify who validated each transaction and how compliance rules are enforced on every chain the asset lives on.
