​Why This Matters

​RWAs have moved beyond narrative — they're operational.

​The infrastructure, data, and liquidity rails are finally aligned to bring regulated, cash-flowing assets onchain at real scale.

​DeFi Desert creates a space for that shift to be understood clearly:
builders, traders, lenders, underwriters, and oracle providers — all in one shared environment.

​Together, we explore a financial system where traditional markets and decentralized technology work as one.
