No loans, no liquidations.</td><td>Simpler, no liquidations, no over-collateralization. More capital efficient. </td></tr><tr><td><strong>Extra Yield</strong></td><td>Passive RWA exposure only.</td><td>Vaults run low-risk, strategies that boost RWA returns by ≈ 2-5 % a year.</td><td>Higher returns without extra steps.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Compliance</strong></td><td>Geo-blocks only at the website/UI level.</td><td>Wallets pass a one-time KYC and can use RWA tokens anywhere.</td><td>Ready for institutions, multiple jurisdictions, and future U.S. roll-out.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Safety Buffer</strong></td><td>RWAL stakers back system.</td><td><strong>Asset Reserve Fund (ARF)</strong>, refills automatically from fees. RWAL stakers back system secondarily.</td><td>Clear redundant protection against rare losses.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Peg Control</strong></td><td>Relied on outside traders.</td><td>Outside traders and in-house bot trades to keep USDL near $1.</td><td>Tighter peg variance.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Governance &#x26; Rewards</strong></td><td>Issuance and redemption fee share.</td><td>Stake RWAL to vote and earn issuance, redemption and performance fees.</td><td>Community shares in growth and governance.</td></tr></tbody></table>
