Clearpool, a leading decentralized credit marketplace, has recently unveiled Ozean, an exclusive blockchain designed to enhance the yield of real-world assets (RWAs). Supported by Optimism, Ozean aims to revolutionize the decentralized finance (DeFi) sector by integrating RWAs in a compliant and user-friendly manner, allowing users to earn native yield on-chain automatically.
Clearpool expressed its excitement about Ozean, highlighting its seamless integration of RWAs while ensuring consumer-friendliness and compliance. Clients can now enjoy automatic local yield with the ecosystem driven by the $CPOOL token. This token features an advanced staking mechanism that rewards those who stake $CPOOL.
Optimism’s OP Stack, a part of the Superchain, has provided the foundation for building Ozean. The platform plans to allocate a portion of its revenue to the Optimism Collective. Additionally, Ozean is powered by Caldera, a fast-developing ecosystem based on Ethereum, offering industry-leading solutions to ensure a high-performance and reliable experience for users.
The market potential for real-world assets is expected to reach $16 trillion by 2030, yet the current total value locked in RWAs stands at just $4 billion (0.03%). This discrepancy is attributed to issues such as stablecoin issuers capturing RWA yield instead of end users and the lack of composability in RWA protocols. Furthermore, DeFi apps often provide a poor consumer experience, discouraging retail and traditional finance investors. Ozean aims to address these challenges and facilitate DeFi functionality for RWAs, driving wider growth and participation in the market.
Ozean operates as a permissionless Ethereum L2 with an optional compliance layer, creating a robust ecosystem for the utilization of RWA as collateral and improved trading functionalities. Clearpool intends to maintain its position as a pioneer in DeFi credit and RWA lending, with $590 million in cumulative loans originated since its launch.
