Inside the network
🔸What we’re watching: Core has launched Blockz, a marketplace for NFTs and real-world assets (RWA) built on the Core blockchain.
🔸Why it matters: Blockz introduces a revenue-sharing staking model, in which marketplace trading fees are distributed in CORE to holders who stake Blockz-issued NFTs.
This model looks to align incentives for issuers and traders both by creating a link between secondary-market volume and yield accrual, tying marketplace performance to user returns.
The platform also enables tokenized real estate, such as ASX assets, to be minted and settled natively on Core. This eliminates the need for wrapped-asset dependencies and cross-chain bridge exposure, reducing counterparty and smart-contract risk layers that often deter institutions.
Since Core leverages Bitcoin’s hash through Satoshi Plus consensus, RWAs issued on Blockz benefit from Bitcoin-anchored settlement guarantees and retain compatibility with EVM tools.
🔸The bigger picture: The tokenized RWA sector currently has a distributed asset value of $18.32 billion. To date, the majority of this onchain value was settled on public, permissionless chains such as Ethereum, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Polygon, Solana and Aptos.
Core’s launch of a marketplace for NFTs and RWAs introduces a new model that integrates Bitcoin’s settlement strengths, non-custodial bitcoin-staking yields, and a community-capture fee structure for tokenized assets.
