AFI x Symbiotic: Shared security for real world assets

AFI is extending its Proof-of-Reserve DVN to integrate with Symbiotic shared security framework — bringing Ethereum-grade economic security to how real-world assets are verified on-chain.

The scale is massive. Over $10–20T in treasuries, credit, commodities, and funds are expected to move on-chain over the coming decade. Today, most of this value still relies on attestations and trust. That model doesn’t survive at the trillion-dollar scale.

Ethereum already secures $300B+ in value. Capital-backed economic guarantees extend enforcement beyond consensus, allowing committed capital to secure new classes of on-chain activity.Proof-of-Reserve is one of the most critical use cases.

Through Symbiotic, reserve enforcement becomes capital-backed and economically enforceable — meaning incorrect reserve claims aren’t just visible, they’re economically punishable.This shifts RWAs from reputation-based trust to capital-backed verification.

As capital committed to economic guarantees grows into the tens of billions, and RWAs grow into the tens of trillions, this is how the two converge. ETH secures consensus. AFI secures truth. Together, they secure real-world value on-chain.
