re.al is the first permissionless L2 solution intended specifically for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), relying on DeFi composability and tokenization. Striving to redefine asset ownership and value creation, re.al enables buying, selling, and leveraging RWAs on-chain.
As a modular L2 solution, re.al offers significantly lower gas costs, higher transaction throughput, and greater transaction speed. It’s part of the Arbitrum Orbit ecosystem and built using the Arbitrum Nitro stack, supporting Ethereum scalability while maintaining high levels of security.
Additionally, the chain provides an EVM-equivalent environment for innovative DeFi applications. It natively supports EVM-compatible tooling, equipping developers with essential building blocks to contribute to the ecosystem.
Now, with Tenderly’s full-stack infrastructure for the entire dapp lifecycle, developers can build and scale innovative RWA dapps, supporting the re.al vision of revolutionizing how people invest and build wealth.
The re.al ecosystem
re.al unlocks the powers of DeFi on valuable, real-world assets, giving them greater operability and resulting in a deeply liquid trading environment. New developers and teams can help make this vision a reality by creating products and protocols that leverage the consistent, native yields of RWAs in new and creative ways. RWA integration and composability into existing DeFi primitives, or innovative new models, turn real-world assets into foundational building blocks in DeFi systems.
So far, RWA returns have been unable to compete with crypto-native assets that often have substantially higher yields and upside. The re.al ecosystem solves this using off-chain yields from RWAs as a sustainable solution for native liquidity incentives, maximizing yields for users in a yield-focused flywheel custom built for the chain. This way, quality, real-world assets give the chain a consistent, durable value. At the same time, reliable, real yields are used as a nearly limitless source of incentive funding that powers the liquidity flywheel.
re.al strives to revolutionize the financial system not only through tokenized RWAs, but also by involving developers, builders, and other participants in the process. re.al is the first L2 where 100% of profits from transaction fees and fees from protocols deployed onto the chain return back to users, paid in the re.al’s native ETH. This ensures that ecosystem users are the end beneficiary from chain adoption and the growth of re.al
The re.al network ecosystem features four core protocols that exemplify DeFi composability and bring greater value, composability, and liquidity to traditionally off-chain assets:
- Arcana, a protocol enabling institutional-grade trading through diverse tokenized trade strategies
- Stack, a DeFi protocol for borrowing and leveraging tokenized RWAs
- Pearl, a DEX for tokenized RWAs and a native liquidity hub on the chain
- Tangible, a lending tokenization protocol that brings real-world assets on-chain
Why build on re.al?
re.al boasts a growing ecosystem of developers and protocols exploring how to use tokenized RWAs and their connected off-chain yields in creative ways. Some of the solutions include liquidity incentives, leveraging on a Collateralized Debt Position (CDP), other vaulting/compounding strategies to maximize the native yields, and solving composability challenges by shifting the RWA tokenization standard to ERC-20.
re.al is dedicated to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the ecosystem. Aside from giving back to its users through protocol revenue share, it also supports developers in multiple ways.
- Incentive programs: New builders on the chain can take advantage of various sustainable incentives and funding mechanisms, including Liquidity-as-a-Service and delegated $RWA positions, which provide the holder with access to consistent, real yield sourced from chain and protocol fees.
- EVM+ equivalence: Since re.al is built using the Arbitrum Nitro stack, it also integrates the Stylus upgrade. The upgrade allows for the compatibility and composability of smart contracts written in different languages. With Arbitrum Stylus integrated on re.al, you can create smart contracts using Rust, C, and C++, opening new possibilities for both developers and the ecosystem.
- Essential components and tools: Thanks to EVM compatibility, re.al natively supports some of your favorite frameworks, tools, and infrastructure components. You can start building on the network or port your existing dapp easily, with integral support for your entire development journey on re.al.
How Tenderly supports your entire dapp lifecycle on re.al
Tenderly is a full-stack infrastructure for the entire dapp lifecycle. You can use it to build and run innovative DeFi dapps on re.al, from initial development to on-chain scaling. With advanced production and development infrastructure under one roof, you can accelerate each stage of dapp development, creating advanced solutions together with your team.
Build and test on re.al data with your team
Virtual TestNets are collaborative development infrastructure designed specifically for Web3 teams. As zero-setup development environments, Virtual TestNets adapt seamlessly to existing team workflows, giving you full control, customization, and flexibility during dapp development.
You can use Virtual TestNets to fork the re.al chain and get fully customizable development environments with:
- Real-time syncing with the latest state of the re.al chain.
- Environment control and customization thanks to state manipulation RPCs, an unlimited faucet, and account impersonation.
- Collaborative and shareable environments for each of your teams, with the ability to preserve environment states through permission isolation.
- Built-in explorer and debugging tools for complete observability of network activity and instant issue resolution.
Integrate the top-performing node infrastructure
Tenderly Node RPC equips you with an advanced node infrastructure with built-in development environments and essential tools. You can use it to create as many Node RPCs for re.al as you need.
Then, integrate re.al Node RPCs across different projects with:
- Top performance and scalability, supporting high traffic volumes and usage spikes in your dapp. With soft limits and SLAs, you can ensure fast and reliable service around the globe.
- Multiregional support with the automatic routing of traffic to the most appropriate location, including US East, US West, and Europe.
- Built-in alerting, simulation, and development infrastructure, allowing you to monitor your dapp in real time, integrate simulations to protect your users, or jump straight to debugging with integrated tooling.
Explore and debug re.al data with full observability
Instead of navigating infinite on-chain data on re.al, use Tenderly’s advanced exploration and debugging tools to:
- Add contracts relevant to your team and build your own explorer, filtering through the noise and focusing on the data that matters to your team.
- Use real-time alerts to monitor different on-chain events, including (un)successful transactions, allowlisted/blocklisted callers, specific contract function calls, and more.
- Analyze transaction execution trace-by-trace in a human-readable format, exploring asset transfers, emitted events, state changes, and gas consumption.
- Inspect and debug errors granularly with a clear insight into the exact cause and location of an error and edit contract code to try out a fix right away.
- Optimize gas consumption per individual function call and reduce unnecessary gas costs.
