+## Team / Description
+
+# AREAL Finance
+
+### The RWA DeFi Hub — Real Yield, Real Ownership, Real Governance
+
+> One protocol to unify real-world asset liquidity, distribute real yield, and govern capital through prediction markets — not politics.
+
+---
+
+## Round: Pre-Seed
+
+**Stage:** Proven concept with a completed pilot — tokenization of a vehicle in Dubai.
+Now focused on shipping the product, executing the second RWA pilot, and integrating the legal structure for token issuance.
+
+**Hard Cap:** $50,000
+**Runway:** 6–8 months at current burn rate — sufficient to deliver MVP, tokenize the first assets, and begin the next fundraising round.
+
+---
+
+## The Problem
+
+The RWA sector is broken in three fundamental ways:
+
+**Fragmented Liquidity** — Every RWA protocol issues separate tokens per asset, creating dozens of isolated micro-liquidity pools. Capital is trapped. Price discovery fails. Yield stays siloed.
+
+**Opaque Yield** — Revenue flows are managed off-chain with no visibility for token holders. There's no standardized system — just trust assumptions where verification should be.
+
+**Broken Governance** — Decisions are driven by whoever is loudest, not whoever is most informed. Voter apathy, governance capture, and narrative-driven capital allocation erode long-term value.
+
+---
+
+## The Solution
+
+AREAL is a **full-stack on-chain protocol** that solves all three — through one unified system:
+
+| Pillar | What It Does |
+|---|---|
+| **RWT (Real World Token)** | Aggregates yield from all RWA projects into a single, appreciating token — eliminating liquidity fragmentation |
+| **Native DEX** | Purpose-built exchange that passes embedded yield to LPs — not just swap fees |
+| **Futarchy Governance** | Replaces voting with prediction markets — decisions are evaluated by expected economic outcomes, not popularity |
+
+---
+
+## Target Market
+
+**Primary Users:**
+- **Crypto-native investors** seeking stable, real yield without active trading
+- **Freelancers & digital nomads** looking for compounding income from real economic activity
+- **AI agents** — AREAL's architecture is designed from day one for autonomous portfolio management
+
+**Competitive Edge:**
+- **Only protocol** that unifies RWA liquidity into a single appreciating token
+- **Only protocol** using futarchy for RWA governance — decisions backed by economic stakes, not votes
+- **No staking required** — hold tokens, earn yield every second, claim anytime
+- **Yield pass-through DEX** — LPs earn swap fees + embedded token yield + protocol incentives
+
+---
+
+## Use of Funds — $50,000
+
+### Allocation Breakdown
+
+| Category | Allocation | Amount | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| **Balance Treasuries** | 80% | $40,000 | DAO treasury reserves backing RWT value and protocol operations |
+| **Protocol Liquidity** | 20% | $10,000 | Initial DEX liquidity for ARL |
+
+### Spending & Governance
+
+Current spending is focused exclusively on **smart contract development and deployment**. The team operates in bootstrapping mode — no overhead, no office, no excess.
+
+Detailed spending limits and budget allocation will be formalized through a **DAO governance proposal** once the futarchy framework is live. Until then, all capital is directed at three priorities: ship the product, execute the second RWA pilot, integrate the legal layer.
+
+This capitalization is sufficient to reach the next milestone. After delivering the full product with DEX, RWT-Wallet, and tokenizing the first assets, the project will be positioned to raise a **seed round** for further growth.
+
+---
+
+## Current Traction
+
+- **Completed pilot:** Vehicle tokenization in Dubai — full cycle from asset registration to token issuance
+- **Protocol design:** Architecture, tokenomics, and governance model fully documented
+- **Pre-seed:** Raising $50,000 to launch the full product and tokenize first assets
+
+---
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Now → Q2 2026 — Full Product Launch
+- ARL token launch
