Together with Rayls

Rayls just became way more transparent

There’s a huge need for more transparency in DeFi.

A project that is taking this seriously is Rayls - a blockchain for banks that connects private institutional blockchain assets with public DeFi markets.

It is already tokenizing 40,000 receivables per month and has established relationships with the Central Bank of Brazil, the Bank of England, JPMorgan, and Tether.

Just a few days ago, Rayls released its RLS Transparency Portal.

The transparency portal offers full visibility into the RLS token supply, distribution, revenue, and network usage.

Here is some of the key info you can find there:

RLS has a fixed 10B maximum token supply with 1.4B currently in circulation
In January and February, Rayls generated $211,000, respectively $175,000 in monthly revenue
50% of RLS is allocated to the community, and the rest is reserved for initial investors, contributors, and the technology provider

Public chain revenue, transaction count, USDr ecosystem details, and vesting diagrams for its token allocation schedules will also be added in the near future.

Rayls is helping institutions bring their financial assets on-chain while ensuring privacy, compliance, and public verifiability.

And now, thanks to the RLS Transparency Portal, you can see exactly how the ecosystem is structured, RLS tokenomics, and how Rayls’ revenue evolves over time.

I think that releasing a transparency portal is a great step in the right direction.

🛠️Crypto tool of the week

An on-chain analytics platform for stablecoins

Not all yield-bearing stablecoins have the same risk profile.

A tool I’ve recently found that offers a lot of useful data on 184 stablecoins, including the risks each one carries and which are the safest, is Pharos.

You can also find there their safety scores, upcoming stablecoin launches, depegs, and much more.

And what is great is that accessing all of its features is free.

You can check out Pharos here.
