CHALLENGE 02 · RESEARCH EXPLAINER
A token has an on-chain operating system and an off-chain asset arrangement. Use the research to examine both.
Specify who can mint, freeze, transfer or upgrade tokens, and how approvals are obtained.
Understand what custody statements, audits and attestations actually establish, and when they were last refreshed.
Controls need to respond when data is stale, a key is compromised or a custodian becomes unavailable.
Control choices cannot honestly be converted into a percentage reduction in hack risk without evidence. Start by making coverage, authority and response responsibilities explicit.
Research basis: “RWA Tokenization Market Hurdles,” the research report reproduced on the overview page. This lab translates its qualitative themes into teaching scenarios; it does not treat the report’s market statistics or case-study claims as verified model coefficients. The operational chapter is split into liquidity and data freshness; regulation and expertise are combined in one explainer so all six research themes remain covered.
