The future of global trade needs infrastructure that understands it.
We’re proud to bring commodities—metals, minerals, food, fuel—onchain with Avalanche.
From programmable finance to verifiable identity, Watr is where real-world scale meets Web3 speed.
A $20T global industry moves to Avalanche.
Watr, the blockchain infrastructure purpose-built for the commodities market, is migrating to an Avalanche L1—bringing metals, minerals, food, and fuel into a composable and programmable future.
Physical commodity markets need infrastructure built for their complexity: identity, traceability, settlement, and compliance that works across jurisdictions and counterparties. That's exactly what we're building with @avax. The conversation is shifting from "can we tokenize commodities?" to "what is the structure and infrastructure that will win?" See you at IEW London. 🌊
Heading to International Energy Week in London next week. This is the conversation I'm most looking forward to having: Tokenized assets hit $36B in 2025, with forecasts of $400B by year end. Treasuries and gold are leading. But energy, fuel, critical metals, agriculture... the physical commodities that provide the backbone of our economy... are barely a rounding error in this conversation.
Why? Because tokenizing crude oil, a lithium shipment, or a cobalt reserve isn't like tokenizing a treasury. It requires identity infrastructure, compliance frameworks, credit, pricing, and market structures built and trusted by the industry.
This has always been an industry opportunity, not a technology problem. What do you folks see out there?

@robert_ivanhoe@realDonaldTrump brilliant to see this! congratulations @robert_ivanhoe for championing this conversation over the decades - despite the changing tides of public opinion.
Tokenization is shaping the next evolution of global markets. In @TheEconomist, Larry Fink and Rob Goldstein discuss how tokenization can modernize market infrastructure, enhancing efficiency, transparency, and access by connecting traditional and digital finance. Read more:
So we'll keep quietly building and point out that building trillion-dollar AI infrastructure on decades-old capital and flow infra does NOT work.
With ReserveNet, on @WatrProtocol X @avax we're building programmable capital infrastructure for commodities and their financing: well-to-wheels, mine-to-consumer.
It's a good day to be where we are 😎 bridging a $3 trillion gap 👇
- Digital assets: $4T market seeking credible RWA yield.
- Commodity producers and traders: looking for $3T of capital.
💡The infrastructure exists. The capital exists.
What's necessary? Coordinated, vetted infrastructure and relationships that bridge two worlds.
The challenge isn't technology alone, it's orchestration.
Who do commodity traders call for: custody, compliance, settlement, credit assessment, oracles? How do they vet 36 players claiming they can do it all while being in safe regulatory watrs? (pun very much intended)😇
This is interesting: Standard Chartered predicts that the “trustless” architecture of DeFi will challenge the traditional dominance of centralized financial (TradFi) institutions - with RWAs rising to $2 trillion by 2028 - a 56x on today's RWA market. This is coming from one of tradfi's own traditional financial institutions and a powerhouse at that!!!
I agree with them. Disintermediation of financing and capital markets is one of the killer apps.
What's your take on this? Too aggressive, or do you see proof points for this acceleration?
@BlackRock is choosing Avalanche for its tokenized fund - not Ethereum.
@ethereum : $1.99B → $990.8M🔻📉
@avax : $54.3M → $554.3M🔺📈
Avax is leading the next phase of real-world 🔺doption.
When the biggest asset manager on the planet starts reallocating like this…
you know where the smart money is moving 🔺
Avalanche season has officially begun.
🚨 US government shutdown = commodity market data blackout
WASDE offline. CFTC data suspended. Traders navigating peak harvest without benchmark data.
This is why we're building ReserveNet: decentralized commodity trading infrastructure on @WatrProtocol ×
@avax
No intermediaries. No blackouts. Uninterrupted Trade.
