Understand ALKN. Understand the RWA category it reshapes.
A publication for the on-chain-literate. Independent, technical, and written to translate between two financial literacies — DeFi and regulated digital securities. ALKN is not a cryptocurrency. It is a tokenised LP interest backed by physical nickel. This site exists to explain the difference.

Treasuries still dominate. But commodity-backed tokens are the fastest-growing sub-category. Where ALKN fits and why that mix is changing.
