About this sector

Real World is the name of a broad application category, not a claim that all its projects use the same technology. It includes asset tokenization and traceability alongside categories for manufacturing, consumer activities, energy and other applications. Some of these activities also appear under more specialized sectors in Orbitrum.

How to compare projects

Use the assigned sub-sector and the profile description together. A tokenized asset project, an industrial company and a consumer application may all appear here, but they need different comparisons. Available author commentary can help explain the particular project rather than treating the whole collection as a ranking.

Projects follow the categories assigned in the Orbitrum application. This collection supports research and discovery; it is not an investment ranking.

No. Real World Asset and Assets Tokenization are sub-sectors within a wider Orbitrum category. Other categories include identity, connected devices and several business activities.

Why can a project also appear in another sector?

Projects can have more than one category in the application. A profile can appear in each relevant collection without becoming a different project or a second evaluation.
