The Lexicon

Glossary

The vocabulary of tokenized real-world assets.


RWA
basics
Real-World Asset — a physical or off-chain asset (mine, building, bond) represented on-chain by tokens.See also: Tokenization, Asset Token
Tokenization
basics
The process of issuing blockchain tokens that represent fractional ownership of an asset.See also: RWA
Asset Token
tokens
An ERC-20 token representing fractional ownership of one specific real-world asset on Bumosi.See also: ERC-20, Token Standard
KURA
tokens
The platform utility token. The platform's fee on a purchase is swapped to KURA on KuraDEX, creating continuous demand (the flywheel); the money you invest goes to the asset's issuer and is never converted to KURA. Card purchases deliver shares directly, with no swap.See also: Flywheel, KuraDEX, Staking
Flywheel
tokens
The KURA demand loop, funded by platform revenue: more activity → more fees → more fee-funded KURA buying → KURA demand ↑ → staking more attractive → deeper liquidity. Investor principal is never part of the loop; it settles to the issuer.See also: KURA, Staking
KuraDEX
defi
The constant-product AMM where USDC↔KURA swaps execute. Every crypto buy order routes through it for settlement.See also: AMM, KURA
AMM
defi
Automated Market Maker — a liquidity pool pricing trades by the x·y=k formula instead of an order book.See also: KuraDEX
Staking
