How Chainlink’s CRE is Giving Way to the RWA Tsunami: SmartCon 2025 Takeaways

Nov 10, 2025

We just got back from Chainlink’s SmartCon in New York, and the energy was electric. After countless conversations, panels, and keynotes, one thing is clear: the theoretical future of blockchain has given way to a tangible, rapidly approaching reality.

If there was one phrase that dominated every discussion, it was “RWA” (Real World Assets). As we at Instruxi were there representing the RWA Federation, our booth was a hub of activity. The buzz wasn’t just a background hum, it was the entire soundtrack of the conference.

This year, the conversation shifted from “if” to “how” and “when”. The market’s appetite is bigger than we could have imagined.

The Market Is Hungry for Everything

As expected, we spoke with a massive wave of individuals interested in tokenizing commodities like real estate, gold, and silver. This is the RWA Federation’s bread and butter, providing a complete end-to-end solution: from asset valuation, to our digitization engine at Instruxi, to the RAAC protocol which provides the DeFi layer.

But what I found most interesting was the sheer volume of questions that went beyond the protocol’s current focus. We were inundated with inquiries about two specific areas:

  1. Retail Access: Are we servicing retail clients?

  2. Financial Assets: Do we tokenize complex financial creations like loans, bonds, and other debt instruments?

These questions signaled a huge, untapped opportunity. The market is ready for a trusted, end-to-end framework, and they want to apply it to everything.

The Power of the Instruxi Engine

This is where the conversations got really exciting, because these questions cut to the core of what we have built at Instruxi.

The RAAC protocol is currently focused on commodities and rapidly expanding. Our core digitization technology was built to be asset-agnostic. At our core, we have the tech to tokenize anything.

This is possible because of our technology stack:

  • uBuild: Our low-code development platform that bridges complex Web3 infrastructure with existing Web2 systems. It’s the all-in-one “how” for any institution, handling data injection, file sharing, and smart contract deployment.

  • TrustSync: Our real-time validation engine. It synchronizes off-chain data to ensure the token is always a verifiable, accurate representation of the real-world asset.

  • Enforcer: Our on-chain rules engine. It programmatically enforces the specific compliance, governance, and bespoke logic for any RWA from gold redemption to bond payouts.

This combination of uBuild, TrustSync, and Enforcer means we are ready to handle the complex, bespoke logic of any RWA. The market is asking for it, and we have the engine ready to deliver.

Chainlink’s CRE Workflows

So, if Instruxi provides the core asset engine, where does Chainlink’s new tech fit in? This was the other half of the “how” at SmartCon.

The new Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) is the orchestration layer that will help builders connect their on-chain logic to the wider multi-chain world. For us, CRE is the expressway that will help us plug our TrustSync and Enforcer capabilities into the entire ecosystem with unprecedented speed.

Our co-founder, Austin, said it best during one of his talks, and it perfectly captures our excitement:

“The Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE) is a game-changer. Because of the slash in development time it provides through custom workflows, our developers can focus less on the complexities of blockchain integration and more on what truly matters. Building accessible, user-friendly applications for Web2 users.”

This is how we bridge the gap. By handling the complexities of cross-chain communication and off-chain data integration, CRE allows all builders to focus on the user experience. The single most important factor for mass adoption.

The Starting Pistol Has Fired

Leaving SmartCon 2025, the feeling is one of optimism. This wasn’t just another conference. It felt like a starting pistol.

The message is simple:

The Market is Ready: Institutions and retail alike are no longer “curious” about RWAs. They are actively seeking to participate.

The Tools are Here: With foundational tech and Protocols like Instruxi’s tech suite, Raac’s defi protocol, and new orchestration layers like Chainlink’s CRE, the technical barriers are dissolving.

The Builders are Building: As leaders in the RWA Federation, Instruxi is not just participating in this movement. We are actively building the foundational engine for it.

The future of on-chain finance is no longer a distant dream. It’s here, and we’re building it.
