Real-World Assets (RWA)

Oracle layers: 1.0 + 2.0 + 3.0 | Status: Live

RWA is one of the broadest verticals for Cournot because tokenized real-world assets require oracle services at every layer of the stack.

Collectibles & Trading Cards (TCG)

Collectibles: trading cards, rare sneakers, vintage watches, fine art — represent a market that Oracle 1.0 cannot serve. There is no single price feed for a PSA 9 1986 Michael Jordan Fleer rookie card. Pricing requires:

• Multi-marketplace aggregation (eBay, StockX, PWCC, specialist dealers, private sales)

• Condition and grading normalization (PSA 10 vs. PSA 7 can mean a 5-50x price difference)

• Recency and volume weighting (a card that sold once last month vs. daily trades)

• Event-driven adjustments (a player's card spikes after a championship win)

Cournot provides Oracle 2.0 semantic pricing for these assets, aggregating fragmented data into a verified composite valuation. For collectible minting and pack openings, Cournot also provides Oracle 1.0 VRF for provably fair randomness.

For high-value items requiring authenticity verification, Oracle 3.0 attestation cross-references grading certificates, ownership history, and marketplace listings to produce a verified provenance chain.

Treasuries, Fixed Income & ETFs

Tokenized treasuries, corporate bonds, municipal bonds, and ETFs need:

• Oracle 1.0: NAV price feeds, yield data, coupon schedules

• Oracle 2.0: Cross-source composite pricing, basis calculations, yield curve analytics

• Oracle 3.0: Issuer credit assessment, covenant compliance verification, event-driven revaluation (rating changes, regulatory actions)

Real Estate

Tokenized real estate portfolios require ongoing verification, not just one-time attestation:

• Oracle 2.0: Location-specific valuation from comparable sales, rental yield analytics

• Oracle 3.0: Occupancy verification, insurance status confirmation, regulatory compliance

• Oracle 4.0: Continuous collateral monitoring — flagging deviations in occupancy, rental income, or local market conditions

Commodities

Physical commodity tokens need:

• Oracle 1.0: Spot and futures prices

• Oracle 2.0: Basis-adjusted pricing by delivery location, quality grade normalization, multi-venue composites
