Ondo Chain is a purpose-built, proof‑of‑stake Layer‑1 blockchain by Ondo Finance designed specifically to tokenize, trade, and utilize institutional‑grade real‑world assets (RWAs) onchain. It blends the openness of public blockchains with compliance-focused features—permissioned institutional validators, RWA‑backed staking, onchain proof‑of‑reserves and price oracles, and native omnichain bridging—to enable secure, low‑latency, and interoperable financial market operations. Ondo Chain supports applications like token issuance, staking, lending, cross‑collateralization, and onchain wealth management, all tailored for institutional use at scale.
Ondo Chain provides blockchain users with seamless access to high-quality real-world assets, enhancing yield opportunities through compliant and transparent onchain financial products. It ensures faster, cheaper, and more secure asset transfers by integrating native bridging and proof-of-reserves mechanisms. Users also benefit from institutional-grade security and liquidity while retaining the permissionless composability of DeFi.
