# RWA Integration

**Orby AI natively supports the tokenization of AI models and agents as Real World Assets (RWAs)** — enabling the protocol to transform verifiable inference into measurable, on-chain income streams.

Models are no longer just code — they become **tokenized digital assets** that generate yield, accrue value, and operate under cryptographic transparency.

**🧩 Core RWA Features:**

| Feature                     | Description                                                               |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Tokenized Ownership**     | Models can be fractionalized as ERC-20 or ERC-721 assets.                 |
| **Usage-Based Yield**       | Every inference triggers on-chain royalty distribution to token holders.  |
| **zk-Verified Metrics**     | Revenue is based on cryptographically proven model activity.              |
| **Royalty Automation**      | Smart contracts distribute revenue per usage, without intermediaries.     |
| **DAO-Governed RWA Models** | Model rights and fee structures can be governed by tokenized communities. |

**🏦 Example RWA-Backed Assets:**

* `ORBY-RWAx`: AI model that performs 10,000 daily inferences; token holders earn 60% of collected fees.
* `STRATEGY-NFT`: On-chain yield strategy managed by an AI agent; NFT holders receive 70% of yield generated.
* `GOV-BOT-DAO`: DAO that owns a governance-focused AI agent; proposal participation rights are tokenized and tradable.

**🔁 Lifecycle of an RWA Model:**

1. **Model is registered** in the Orby AI zkRegistry.
2. **RWA token** (ERC-20 or NFT) is issued, representing model ownership or yield rights.
3. Each inference:
   * Is verified by Ethereum smart contracts.
   * Triggers **royalty distribution** to token holders.
   * Updates on-chain **usage history and revenue metrics**.
4. Optional DAO governance modules allow:
   * Dynamic fee adjustment.
   * Voting on model upgrades or deprecation.
   * Shared ownership or revenue splits via staking contracts.

**🧠 Why This Matters:**

> Orby AI doesn't just verify AI — it monetizes it! Every interaction is a provable event. Every agent is a programmable RWA. Every inference is a financial micro-output, composable across DeFi, DAO, and enterprise rails.

With this model, **AI becomes a productive asset class on Ethereum**, where compute equals capital.
