 ## What are RWAs?
 
 In the context of blockchain, Real-World Assets (RWAs) refer to physical assets and traditional financial instruments represented as digital assets on a blockchain network. These assets can range from assets such as real estate, commodities, art, and even intellectual property, to financial assets such as bonds, stocks, or ETFs. RWAs provide a bridge between traditional and decentralized finance opening up new opportunities for market inclusion, accessibility, and innovation.

 ### Leveraging Chronicle Protocol
 
-Verified Asset’s unique advantages are imbued by Chronicle Protocol, the infrastructure layer that the VAO employs.
+Chronicle Protocol powers Proof of Assets, providing the infrastructure behind its unique capabilities.
 
-    - Industry-Leading Validators: Chronicle’s decentralized and distributed network comprises reputable Validators like Gnosis, Gitcoin, Etherscan, MakerDAO, ETHGlobal, Infura, Nethermind, and many more. This network enhances the typical Byzantine Fault Tolerance of decentralized Validators with a unique 'Proof of Reputation' model, where each Validator effectively stakes its reputation. The canonical value of an Oracle is derived through the majority consensus of this community consortium, making the trust requirements for using a Chronicle Oracle equivalent to the trust in the crypto applications people use every day. The more Validators that join, the stronger this trust guarantee becomes.

This innovation allows for a more decentralized, and therefore more secure, network.

 Chronicle provides [DeFi Oracles](../Products/DeFiOracle/DeFiOracle.md) for various types of data, including cryptocurrencies, fiat currencies, yield rates, and more. Chronicle Oracles use a PUSH model. The Oracles proactively deliver data to smart contracts without requiring an explicit request. They automatically update the smart contract with fresh data whenever a specified event or condition is met.
 For example, a PUSH oracle can provide real-time price updates at regular intervals (e.g., every X minutes or hours) or trigger updates when price fluctuations exceed a defined threshold.
