RWA Tokenization Pro — cost calculator for tokenized metals

Eight cost groups for taking a physical metal asset on-chain: chain & gas, oracle (Proof-of-Reserve), custody, tokenization platform, KYC/AML, smart-contract audit, legal & regulatory regime, go-to-market & listing. Live Year-1 total, annual run-rate, cost per token, and break-even AUM. Includes a side-by-side chain comparison (7 networks) and a regulator cheat-sheet for MAS, VARA, FINMA, SEC, MiCA, HK SFC and Japan FSA. Every term is linked to the tokenization glossary.

Calculator philosophy. You bring the quotes — we do the math. We do not invent custody fees, oracle subscriptions or audit prices: most of that pricing is private (RFQ). All public reference data (chain specs, regulator pages, Chainlink feed list) links to its primary source. No fabricated rates anywhere.

TPS and finality figures are from each chain's own documentation. Gas fees are not shown here because they update per block — click the explorer link for live gas.

Chainlink Proof-of-Reserve — feed availability

Chainlink publishes the canonical list of price feeds and Proof-of-Reserve feeds — including XAU/USD, XAG/USD and PoR for PAXG, XAUT and other tokenized commodities. Live list: docs.chain.link/data-feeds/price-feeds/addresses.

Regulatory regime — selected jurisdiction

Each row links to the regulator's own primary page. Setup and licence fees are from the regulator's published fee schedule where available; legal counsel and ongoing-compliance costs are NOT included here — those go in group 7 (Legal).

Break-even AUM = Annual run-rate ÷ (issuer spread × 1e-4). Move the spread slider to model what a tokenized-metal product would have to charge to cover ops.
