Why Helix
Bridging TradFi Trust and DeFi Composability for Global RWA Adoption
The foundation of Helix is rooted in the gaps observed across DeFi, RWA protocols, stablecoins, and TradFi. Despite the explosive growth of RWAs and stablecoins, core inefficiencies continue to limit how capital, yield, user experience, and composability flow across TradFi and DeFi.
The RWA Market Today
The RWA and stablecoin market has surged past $270B in tokenized assets on-chain, spanning stablecoins, Treasury Bills, and private credit. Growth has accelerated in the past year, with major institutions moving into RWAs.
The Adoption Gap
Despite this momentum, RWAs and stablecoins remain far from mass adoption. The barrier isn’t demand, it’s the lack of robust infrastructure to connect TradFi trust with DeFi composability at scale.
Current On-Chain Limitations
Most on-chain environments aren’t built for institutions or real-world scale:
Poor UX and intimidating user experience
Fragmented interoperability
Inconsistent yield models
Limited payment rails
Heavy crypto jargon
Wallet-centric onboarding
These issues continue to hold adoption back.
Why Abstraction Alone Isn't Enough
While abstraction is often proposed as the fix, most solutions are too generic, relying on fragmented standards and nascent technologies that fail to meet institutional requirements.
The Helix Solution
What's needed is a purpose-built foundation layer:
Bridging Fragmented Chains
Enables seamless TradFi crypto payment interactions and interoperability across DeFi and TradFi rails.
Abstracted UX for Stablecoins and RWAs
Simplifies wallet and key management, gasless transactions, removes heavy crypto jargon, and delivers Web2-quality usability.
Unified Orchestration Layer
Goes beyond issuance - unifies the ecosystem into a compliant, interoperable, and composable infrastructure.
TradFi Composability
Enables composability with TradFi ecosystems such as Payment Rails, Fiat On/Off Ramps and Card providers.
While the demand for RWAs and stablecoins is clear, adoption has been slowed by poor user experience, fragmented infrastructure, and immature standards that fail to meet institutional requirements.
Helix is designed to solve this by orchestrating the full RWA lifecycle - bridging TradFi trust with DeFi composability, delivering Web2-quality user experience, and unlocking the path to global adoption.
