About Event
As institutions increasingly move on-chain, RWAs are becoming one of the strongest bridges between traditional finance and DeFi. But what does it actually take to bring real-world assets on-chain?
Join NYU Blockchain Lab for a conversation with Thomas Baker, Smart Contracts Lead at Ondo Finance, to explore how real-world assets are actually translated into on-chain financial infrastructure.
We’ll cover:
• RWAs & DeFi infrastructure
• Smart contract security
• Bridging and omnichain systems
• Institutional adoption of blockchain
From tokenized treasuries to cross-chain infrastructure, this session will offer a builder-focused perspective on where on-chain finance is heading next.
Format: 40–50 min fireside chat · Audience Q&A · Open networking
