AFI x Symbiotic: Shared security for real world assets

Overview

AFI is extending its Proof-of-Reserve DVN to integrate with the Symbiotic shared security framework, bringing Ethereum-grade economic security to the verification of real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain. This integration is a massive step toward securing trillions of dollars in on-chain value, enhancing the economic security of RWAs.

Key Features

• Integration with Symbiotic Framework: AFI is collaborating with Symbiotic to introduce Ethereum-grade security for RWAs.
• Capital-Backed Economic Guarantees: This ensures that reserve enforcement goes beyond consensus, with committed capital securing new classes of on-chain activity.
• Economically Enforceable Reserve Claims: Through Symbiotic, reserve claims aren’t just visible—they’re economically punishable, ensuring capital-backed verification for RWAs.
• Shifting from Reputation to Capital: This transition moves RWAs from reputation-based trust to capital-backed verification, enabling greater confidence and security.

Why It Matters

As over $10–20T in treasuries, credit, commodities, and funds are expected to move on-chain in the coming decade, the existing trust-based model won’t suffice at the trillion-dollar scale. Ethereum already secures over $300B in value, and through the Symbiotic framework, AFI secures truth with capital-backed guarantees, ensuring the integrity of RWAs at the largest scales.
