Tokenization and Real-World Assets: Treasuries, Credit and Compliance

About this course

Real-world assets are coming to blockchain. Tokenized Treasuries, private credit, and real estate are moving billions on-chain. But building an RWA product requires mastery of custody, settlement, securities law, and smart-contract architecture — and most courses skip the hard parts.

This course teaches the full stack. You’ll learn how the RWA market works (who the players are, how custody flows, why settlement matters), design custody and settlement infrastructure, navigate securities law and KYC, build tokenized Treasuries and private-credit products, integrate oracles and proof of reserves, and ship a complete RWA product from concept to market.

Every lesson is a worked example grounded in real market structure, not abstract theory. You’ll trace a tokenized Treasury bill from issuance to wallet, compare custody models used by live issuers, and study case studies of Ondo Finance (tokenized Treasuries), Centrifuge (private credit), and Polymath (security tokens) to see how real teams solved these problems — and where they didn’t.

Across seven modules you’ll build five hands-on projects: a custody and settlement architecture, a tokenized Treasury contract, a tranche contract with waterfall distributions, a KYC-gated transfer-restricted token, and an oracle integration for proof of reserves and pricing. Module 5 walks through Reg D, Reg A, and Reg S exemptions and shows exactly how securities-law constraints become smart-contract logic — whitelists, transfer hooks, and jurisdiction checks — so compliance isn’t an afterthought bolted on after the code is written.

The course closes with a capstone: you’ll choose an asset class (Treasury, private credit, or real estate), define its custody and settlement model, write its compliance framework, design its smart-contract architecture, and present a 10-minute pitch to a panel of RWA experts, scored on market fit, technical soundness, compliance completeness, execution readiness, and presentation.

Who this is for: blockchain engineers building fintech products, fintech product managers entering Web3, compliance officers designing RWA platforms, and anyone shipping real-world assets on-chain. This is an advanced, practitioner-level course — you should be comfortable with basic smart-contract concepts and financial terminology going in.

What you’ll build: 5 hands-on projects (custody architecture, Treasury contract, tranche contract, KYC-gated token, oracle integration) and a capstone RWA product design and pitch.

Instructor: Block Relations — research and education for blockchain finance. Every lesson is grounded in real market data, live case studies, and practitioner insight.

After this course, you can architect tokenized asset systems, evaluate custody and transfer-agent infrastructure, navigate securities law and KYC requirements, and lead an RWA product from concept to launch.
