what's ethzilla?

ETHZilla Corporation (Nasdaq: ETHZ) is a technology company pioneering Ethereum-based infrastructure for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). It acquires income-producing assets like commercial aviation equipment and consumer loans, then issues compliant ERC-20 tokens granting fractional ownership and automated on-chain distribution of revenues, such as monthly USD payouts from leases. Operating through subsidiaries like ETHZilla Aerospace, ETHZilla leverages smart contracts on Ethereum and Arbitrum for transparency, programmability, and potential secondary trading. This bridges traditional finance markets—historically accessible only to institutions—with blockchain, enabling broader investor participation while maintaining regulatory compliance. ETHZilla's model supports scalable RWA issuance, with plans to expand into auto loans, home loans, and more, positioning it as an on-chain alternative asset manager.
