What is Underlying (RWA)?

The real-world asset a tokenized product represents. The same underlying can be tokenized by several issuers on several chains — TSLAx on Solana, TSLA.d on Base — all tracking one Tesla share. Grouping by underlying shows total on-chain interest.

Context anchor

Token symbol ≠ underlying: TSLAx + TSLA.d are two tokens, one underlying (TSLA)

Example

TSLA is the underlying behind both TSLAx (Solana) and TSLA.d (Base)
