In this tutorial, community contributor Aditii walks you through the first step of building a Real-World Asset (RWA) tokenization platform on Rootstock — Bitcoin's EVM-compatible smart contract layer. By the end of Part 1, you'll have written two core Solidity contracts: ✅ AllowListRegistry — compliance layer managing verified/frozen addresses ✅ RWAToken — a compliant ERC-20 token with role-based access control, pausability, and enforced compliance hooks 🔧 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN - What RWA tokenization is and why it matters (~$24B+ in DeFi) - How Rootstock brings Ethereum-compatible smart contracts to Bitcoin - Setting up a Foundry project with OpenZeppelin contracts - Building an access-controlled allowlist registry - Creating a compliance-first ERC-20 token _______ Useful Resources - Foundry — https://getfoundry.sh - OpenZeppelin Contracts — https://docs.openzeppelin.com/contracts - Node.js — https://nodejs.org - MetaMask — https://metamask.io - Rootstock Testnet via Chainlist — https://chainlist.org (search "Rootstock Testnet") - Rootstock Testnet Faucet (free tRBTC) — https://faucet.rootstock.io - Rootstock Developer Docs — https://dev.rootstock.io - Rootstock RPC (Testnet) — https://public-node.testnet.rsk.co - Rootstock RPC (Mainnet) — https://public-node.rsk.co ______ This video is part of the From Devs to Devs series — technical tutorials created by community contributors through the Rootstock Hacktivator program. 👉 Want to create your own tutorial and earn rewards?
