Problem
Decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols face limitations in offering perpetual trading for real-world assets (RWAs) like equities and commodities due to the inability of traditional oracles to accurately account for corporate actions. This deficiency prevents DeFi from accessing significant RWA markets and offering diversified trading opportunities.
Solution
Autonom provides a specialized decentralized oracle solution designed to facilitate perpetual trading of real-world assets on-chain. Its architecture is purpose-built to detect and incorporate discrete pricing adjustments resulting from corporate actions such as stock splits, dividends, and mergers, without requiring individual asset tokenization. By ensuring accurate data feeds, Autonom enables perpetual trading platforms to offer RWAs profitably and at scale. The system leverages EigenLayer's Actively Validated Services (AVS) framework, utilizing restaked ETH and EIGEN tokens for data validation and security. This approach ensures data integrity through economic incentives, where inaccurate data leads to slashing of staked tokens, thereby maintaining a high degree of accuracy and security for on-chain RWA derivatives.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and lending protocols seeking to expand their offerings to include real-world asset derivatives, as well as DeFi developers aiming to build novel financial products on RWAs.
