# 2.4 Matrix

While permissioned chains serve an important transitional role in data compliance and anchoring within Chinese regulatory boundaries, public chains are the ultimate foundation for scalable, liquid, and programmable RWA issuance. Matrix AI Network bridges these two layers by offering a public chain that meets both regulatory expectations and technical performance benchmarks, enabling end-to-end asset tokenization across domestic and offshore environments.
