# 2.3 Direct Public Chain Issuance

For small and mid-sized RWA issuers, a direct issuance on public chains offers a more affordable and flexible alternative to the dual-chain model:

* The issuer incorporates an offshore entity in Hong Kong or Singapore as the legal token issuer;
* Tokens are issued on cost-efficient chains such as Polygon or Arbitrum using smart contract infrastructure;
* A legal linkage is established between the offshore token and the onshore asset via donation agreements, profit-sharing clauses, or mirror contracts;
* Investors interact directly with the token via a wallet or approved platform.

This approach significantly reduces costs (typically below RMB 500,000) and offers greater agility, making it ideal for early-stage projects and niche assets like fine art, IP rights, or specialty agriculture.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.matrix.io/hong-kong-stablecoin-25-26/real-world-asset/reports/matrix-ai-network-driving-hong-kongs-stablecoin-infrastructure-and-real-world-asset-tokenization/chapter-2-permissioned-vs.-public-chains-in-rwa/2.3-direct-public-chain-issuance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
