That's exactly why Uranium.io is such a big deal. Built on Tezos via Etherlink (L2), it's the first on-chain uranium marketplace, giving investors access to an asset that has traditionally been locked behind layers of red tape. This isn't just another experiment in tokenization, it's proof that Tezos is leading the way in bringing real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain in a meaningful way.

So let's take a look into the key insights Arthur shared, why Uranium.io represents a turning point for tokenized commodities, and how Tezos continues to push the boundaries of what's possible. Let's look at some of the key highlights from this panel discussion.1b:T561,The discussion kicked off with the panelists outlining what tokenization solves. While cost savings, efficiency, and transparency were common themes, Arthur emphasized something often overlooked: composability.

“A lot of tokenization projects to date have taken the form where some company does the tokenization, and every single holder just has an account with that company. So, you basically have a glorified transfer agent that sometimes puts a transaction on-chain, and that’s not very useful.”

Instead of simply digitizing assets in a centralized manner, Arthur pointed out that real value emerges when tokenized assets can interact with decentralized financial primitives.

“Where we’ve seen the most activity on blockchains with smart contracts is in DeFi. One thing that’s characteristic of DeFi is the composability of contracts with each other. You launch an asset, but now that asset can rely on a decentralized exchange, it can rely on a lending market, it can rely on all of these primitives.”

For tokenization to truly work, it needs to be on-chain and interoperable with other financial tools, not just a digital wrapper for an off-chain asset. Doing so allows for more innovation and more sophisticated products to be built, and then the boundari
