Xeal: AI Verification Layer for RWA
Xeal Protocol Documentation Overview
Intro
Welcome to the Xeal Protocol Documentation.
Xeal is a solution that bridges the gap between digital and physical through the use of AI invisible watermarks and blockchain technology. Whether you are a builder, brand owner, artist, or a degen, this documentation will help you navigate the various features and capabilities of Xeal protocol.
What is Xeal?
Xeal is a Real World Asset (RWA) bridging solution that combines the power of AI, blockchain and steganography to enhance the authenticity and security of digital and physical assets by embedding AI invisible watermarks into media files.
That was an unnecessary explanation for a degen like you perhaps, so it's best for you to see how it works by trying it out yourself.
Here are the steps:
First, download Xeal app on the appstore, by searching "Xeal.ai". Here are the links if you're already on mobile:
Second, try opening the app and scanning this photo.
Nothing should happen, as expected. Why? Because it's just a JPEG.
Third, try scanning this one instead:
Wait, something pops up! That's right. We embed an AI invisible watermark within the image, making it verifiable on-chain by scanning through our app. The image remains scannable whether downloaded or screenshotted. These watermarked images can be minted as xNFTs, serving as a gateway to the token attached to the image. If printed on a wallet, scanning the wallet will first verify the xNFT and then enable ERC-20 fractionalized trading of that wallet.
That's a cool tech, but why does it matter? Wen moon?
Why Xeal Matters: Solving the RWA Authenticity Problem
The rapid growth of RWA tokenization is unlocking new markets and liquidity across sectors such as luxury goods, collectibles, real estate, and supply chains. However, a core challenge persists: on-chain tokens have historically lacked a reliable and trustless link to their underlying physical assets. This gap exposes token holders, brands, and marketplaces to risk, counterfeiting, and uncertainty.
Currently, there is no universally accepted, on-chain method to verify that a tokenized asset truly corresponds to the real-world item it represents. For example, if a luxury watch is tokenized, buyers and platforms cannot independently prove that the token actually maps to the physical watch—creating friction and limiting adoption of RWA protocols.
Xeal addresses this foundational problem by introducing an AI-powered invisible watermark, purpose-built for RWA verification. Xeal’s watermark is functionally similar to a QR code, but is completely invisible to the human eye and can be embedded in digital images or directly applied to physical products. Even after the watermark is printed or included in photos, it remains robust and scannable using the Xeal mobile app.
With Xeal, physical products and their corresponding digital representations (tokens) are cryptographically linked through this invisible marker. This provides a secure, tamper-evident mechanism to verify authenticity and ownership at any point in the asset’s lifecycle. The result is a frictionless bridge between the physical and digital worlds, enabling on-chain trust for RWAs.
By making authenticity verification seamless and reliable, Xeal empowers both Web3-native entities and traditional brands to expand their presence in the real world with confidence. The technology eliminates ambiguity, deters counterfeiting, and unlocks new use cases for tokenized assets—from luxury goods to event tickets and beyond.

Scanning is cool. So what can we do in Xeal?
xNFTs combine aspects of meme coins and NFTs to enhance watermarked digital assets. The xToken represents an entire NFT collection and serves as the exclusive trading currency within that collection. This system ensures creator royalties and supports token burn mechanisms, potentially increasing the xToken's value as the collection grows in popularity.
We offer creator focused creation, but we also offer decentralized NFT collection creation, allowing anyone to contribute art with a set mint price (above a creator-defined minimum). A portion of this price is burned, while the remainder goes to the artist.
The ecosystem benefits from "creative energy" through custom burn rates on minting. Each NFT requires xTokens for purchase and minting, with additional tokens burned during the process. Creators receive royalties on future trades, justifying the initial burn and supporting the collection's economy.
This approach aims to balance creator incentives, community participation, and economic sustainability within the xNFT ecosystem. As NFTs are traded, loyalty fees go to the original creator, while the token burn mechanism benefits the overall collection economy.
