WaveMaker is Ozean’s comprehensive solution for accelerating the tokenization of Real World Assets (RWAs). It connects issuers with a curated network of vetted service providers and institutions, simplifying the tokenization process and enhancing growth through strategic support, investor connections, and market visibility. WaveMaker enables both tangible assets (e.g., real estate, art) and intangible assets (e.g., financial products, receivables) to be tokenized and leveraged within the Ozean blockchain ecosystem.
Designed to unlock the potential of DeFi for RWAs, WaveMaker fosters a dynamic ecosystem that promotes liquidity, accessibility, and capital efficiency, making it easier for issuers to bring assets on-chain and for investors to access new opportunities.
According to a report by Boston Consulting Group and ADDX, the tokenization of illiquid assets is expected to create a $16 trillion market by 2030, contributing 10% of global GDP. Currently, the tokenized RWA market is in its infancy, valued at under $6 billion—primarily in tokenized treasuries and private credit. WaveMaker aims to address challenges such as the lack of high-quality RWAs, effective off-chain structuring, and limited DeFi use cases, accelerating the growth of this market.
Ozean’s vision is to bring more high-quality RWAs on-chain, unlocking new investment opportunities and enabling real-world DeFi utility. This includes facilitating fundraising, creating secondary markets with enhanced liquidity, and utilizing RWAs as collateral for greater capital efficiency. WaveMaker is built to foster interoperability between permissioned RWAs and Ozean’s compliance layer, ensuring regulatory adherence and broad access.
WaveMaker equips issuers with all the necessary tools to tokenize RWAs compliantly on the Ozean blockchain, while benefiting from a thriving ecosystem of RWA-focused decentralized applications (dApps).
WaveMaker offers expert guidance to issuers across every stage of the tokenization process, including:
Identifying assets with strong tokenization potential
Conducting market research to gauge demand and investor interest
Ensuring transparency with due diligence and valuation assessments
Assisting with regulatory and compliance requirements, including selecting appropriate jurisdictions and meeting KYC/AML standards
