RWA Markets

Markets that enable borrowing against real-world–asset–backed collateral.

RWA Markets allow users to interact with lending markets backed by real-world-asset–linked tokens, alongside stablecoins, within Superlend Markets.

These markets are designed to support borrowing against tokenized real-world assets under conservative risk controls.


What RWA Markets Are

RWA Markets include assets whose value is linked to real-world instruments, such as:

These assets can be supplied as collateral and used to borrow supported stablecoins.


How RWA Markets Work

  • Users supply RWA-backed tokens as collateral

  • Borrowing is limited to approved stablecoins (e.g. USDC, USDT)

  • Risk parameters are configured more conservatively than standard crypto assets

This design helps limit exposure to liquidity, oracle, and settlement risks associated with real-world assets.


Supported Assets

RWA Markets may include:

  • Collateral assets — real-world-asset–backed tokens

  • Borrow assets — stablecoins

Not all assets support borrowing. Availability depends on market configuration.


Risk Controls

To manage risk, RWA Markets may use:

  • Isolation Mode RWA assets may be listed with debt ceilings to cap total borrow exposure.

  • Efficiency Mode (E-Mode) Certain RWA assets may be grouped with stablecoins in a low-volatility category to improve capital efficiency where appropriate.

  • Conservative Parameters Lower LTVs, stricter liquidation thresholds, and limited borrow options.

All parameters are enforced at the smart contract level.


Liquidity and Availability

  • Liquidity depends on market participation

  • Borrowing and withdrawals may be limited by available liquidity

  • Some markets may be temporarily frozen or restricted

Users should review market conditions before supplying or borrowing.
