Key Takeaways:
- Chronicle’s Verified Asset Oracle (VAO) dashboard offers full visibility into how tokenized asset price feeds are sourced, verified, and monitored.
- The dashboard reflects Chronicle’s commitment to verifiable, transparent oracle infrastructure, especially for institutional-grade RWA protocols.
- Users can inspect live data, source breakdowns, onchain pokes, and model performance, all from a single interface.
By combining institutional-grade data, complete transparency, and onchain verifiability, the VAO dashboard helps build a financial system more robust and accountable than legacy traditional markets.
Chronicle is proud to announce the launch of its Verified Asset Oracle (VAO) dashboard, a powerful new tool that brings a new level of transparency to onchain tokenized assets. The dashboard serves as a visual layer on top of Chronicle’s institutional-grade onchain data infrastructure.
As the leading oracle for real-world assets (RWAs), Chronicle provides verified data for some of the most prominent tokenized asset issuers, allocators, and platforms such as Superstate, Centrifuge, M0, Grove. With the VAO dashboard, any user can now inspect key details about the underlying data including NAV per share, yield, and performance metrics powering those feeds on a more frequent basis.
Why This Matters for Tokenized Assets
Tokenized assets only work if the data is trusted. Tokenized real-world asset protocols are bridging traditional finance and DeFi, but the promise of this new asset class hinges on trust in the data. Inaccurate or opaque pricing can introduce risk, misalignment, or manipulation, especially when assets are used in lending markets, stablecoins, or derivatives. This is exactly why institutions and DeFi protocols should consider using onchain attestable data by a credibly neutral partner.
“RWAs are not crypto native, so the risk management around them needs to be much more scrutinized. Everything is not onchain, and so where oracles really fill that gap is to add that context back in, to bring that transparency back.”
– Niklas Kunkel, Founder of Chronicle
Chronicle’s Verified Asset Oracle was built to eliminate these concerns. It ensures that every price feed is:
- Sourced directly from primary asset holders offchain—including custodians, NAV fund administrators, or authorized data agents, rather than relying on secondary market issuers. This direct-source model increases integrity and aligns with institutional data compliance standards.
- Auditable in real-time, enabling a continuous monitoring paradigm rather than quarterly, manual reviews. Stakeholders, such as policymakers, proof-of-reserve specialists, auditors, and DeFi protocols, benefit from real-time access to verifiable data, reducing reporting integrity risk and enabling new levels of operational transparency.
- Independently sourced by Chronicle, a credibly-neutral oracle provider acting as an external, unbiased data entity sourcing and publishing the data. This reduces reliance on self-reported numbers from asset issuers and replaces it with a verifiable, cryptographically signed, and transparent data layer accessible to anyone.
Now, with the VAO dashboard, anyone can explore this process, not just developers with technical expertise to monitor onchain data. This includes asset issuers, policymakers, and institutions who expect data they can independently verify.
What You Can Do with the VAO Dashboard
The Verified Asset Oracle (VAO) dashboard a provides real-time, verifiable window into the lifecycle of each tokenized asset price feed, offering distinct advantages within the tokenized asset ecosystem.
1. TradFi Institutions, Tokenized Asset Issuers, Money Managers, Custodians, NAV Fund Administrators
- Validate that offchain NAVs or price attestations are reflected accurately onchain, with a visible audit trail.
- Demonstrate ongoing compliance and pricing transparency to policymakers, customers, and LPs.
- Use dashboard links as part of investor reporting or due diligence disclosures, reinforcing data provenance and operational credibility.
2. DeFi Protocol Builders / Architects
- View verifiable asset prices from a single dashboard.
- Explore price feeds and reporting accuracy before integrating them into markets.
- Understand data model logic to build hooks, vaults, or other mechanisms that depend on predictable data flows.
3. Risk Curators (DAOs, Auditors, Stablecoin Risk Teams)
- Assess the security, uptime, and deviation history of each feed to inform risk frameworks and collateral eligibility.
- Monitor data and source-level breakdowns to spot concentration or reliability risks.
- Leverage the dashboard for transparent offchain to onchain workflows supporting tokenized asset onboarding.
4. Stablecoin Issuers
- Ensure collateral pricing is verifiable, up-to-date, and backed by real-time source attestations.
- Use the dashboard as part of internal risk monitoring or external attestation processes, replacing lagging quarterly reports with real-time transparency.
- Reduce reliance on opaque third parties for offchain price claims.
5. Exchanges / Tokenization Platforms
- Embed Chronicle’s dashboard in asset pages or investor portals to increase transparency for end users.
- Offer proof of accurate pricing without building proprietary oracle infrastructure.
Whether you're issuing assets, building protocols, managing risk, or listing products, the VAO dashboard gives you a neutral, verifiable, and transparent lens into the integrity of the data layer. It transforms oracle infrastructure from a black box into a fully auditable foundation that meets the demands of both DeFi and TradFi.
Chronicle’s VAO in Action:
Superstate: integrated Chronicle’s Verified Asset Oracle to deliver onchain NAV data for its U.S. Treasury fund (USTB), enhancing transparency, investor confidence, and composability. The partnership supports Superstate’s mission to modernize asset management with secure, verifiable data, helping bring institutional-grade tokenized products into DeFi.
Centrifuge: partnered with Chronicle to provide real-time NAV data and independent verification for the Janus Henderson Treasury Fund (JTRSY). As a winner of the $1B Spark Tokenization Grand Prix, Centrifuge uses Chronicle’s Verified Asset Oracle to ensure secure, compliant, and transparent management of its tokenized assets, helping institutional investors gain continuous insight into portfolio composition.
M0: uses uses Chronicle’s Verified Asset Oracle to provide proof of reserves for M0 network supply, which is backed by U.S. Treasuries. By verifying offchain collateral before minting, Chronicle enables M0's stablecoin platform to scale with continuous solvency guarantees, eliminating unbacked issuance risk and supporting programmable digital dollars.
The Path Forward
The VAO dashboard is the beginning of a new standard of transparency for tokenized asset oracles. As the real-world asset ecosystem scales, so does the need for secure, transparent infrastructure that can withstand scrutiny from regulators, auditors, and the market itself.
By offering visibility into how oracle data is produced and validated, Chronicle is helping lay the foundation for a safer, more transparent and efficient financial system.
