Real Estate Blockchains/Cryptos List

You have heard ICOs in gaming, virtual reality, marketing and IT.  But there are many other applications for tokens including in selling and renting real estate property. Most work on the idea of exposing investors to tokenized real estate property. Investors are thus able to earn profits from sale or rent of the acquired property or the growth in the managed property portfolio value.

However, there are also lending platforms that allow either owners of real estate property (through tokenized collateral) to access home loans, mortgages or real asset financing loans, or those that have own cryptocurrencies backed by real estate and allow holders to use the crypto as collateral in acquiring the loans.

Below are some of the tokens to consider in real estate.

Acadia

Acadia is based on the idea of purchasing property, restoring the buildings, selling the property at profits, and having token holders share in the profits. Holders can also sell tokens on exchanges apart from expecting profits. It offers a quick investment option and a very low minimum to invest in real estate, namely 0.01ETH. There will be a host of other benefits that the platform brings for cryptocurrency holders apart from passive income.

They just concluded their ICO on May 27 and want to start buying the property in the coming quarter of the year and selling it in the forth quarter to give 55 percent of profits back to token holders. They will reinvest part of the money to buy more property.

Agent Not Needed

Agent Not Needed allows users to sell property directly online, without agents using ANN tokens. Buyers, sellers, tenants and landlords can communicate directly online, as well as arrange viewing and make offers easily on the platform.

It seeks to eliminate some problems eminent in current property markets including high costs for sellers, with some agents charging as high as 10 percent and upfront fees, gazumping where real estate agents ant higher commission, buyers paying for viewings and poor communication. Other difficulties include a higher transaction time, errors and risks in paperwork and documentation and registry, problems in process tracking and a high chance of deal failure.

These problems multiply when international property buying and selling is involved.

The company launched their platform on February 1 this year, and research and development of smart contracts and blockchain will kick off in the second quarter of the year. Rental service development will be done in the end of second quarter of this year while launch of rental service will take place in the third quarter of this year. The mortgage lead auction system will go live in the third quarter of this year.

The in-house conveyance service will launch in the forth quarter.

The ICO ended on March 31.

ATL

Atlant wants to facilitate tokenization of property and ownership and global P2P rentals. It establishes a market where real estate tokens representing shares in individual real estate assets, can be traded.

In this case, an owner of a property who wants to sell the property but is having a hard time finding the buyer or is not receiving competitive offers, will put a request for listed on the platform after they provide the required information. The company will verify the assets against the requirements. This is done through a qualified authority or an attorney who checks for debts, cleanliness, and other parameters.

P2P rentals will significantly reduced fees for both tenants and lessors. A special purpose vehicle (SPV) is founded to own the property in its entirety.

Atlant DAO will then tokenize the asset into tokens with 1 token being equal to 1 mm2. Listing of the tokens is done after tokenizations, through the Property Token Offering (PTO) and individuals and businesses around the world can then buy these asset tokens. This means they acquire a fraction of the ownership.

When the full amount of tokens are bought, the seller or original owner of the house or asset is paid and investors get their GMT tokens.

These PTO tokens will be available for trading on the ATLANT DEX (decentralized exchange). This is a secondary market for these tokens. Anyone can buy or sell even the smallest of the property as desired.

Holders of the property token get a profit share in proportion to the number of tokens owned and monetize changes in token prices.

The company held an pre-ICO in August 2017 followed by an ICO in September. The prototype started working in June last year with a legal structure in place since August 2017. The ATLANT Network Alpha launch took place in September 2017 while token trading launch took place in November 2017.

Finally, the ATLANT Platform launched in March this year, with P2P rentals launching in April. They are currently partnering with government blockchains.

AVC

The mission of AVC is to replace the way you find your next real estate agent. They raised 1 million coins in 48 hours. The system hosts agents but these agents use The Atom Villa Coin and this saves customers a maximum of 5 percent of a home's price as commission when they find a suitable local Atom Villa Coin real estate agents.

For buyers, only 20 Atom Villa Coin will be needed to get the maximum rebate on the average home purchase. Further, the commission will in future be set by a free market based on the price of the coin. Sellers can also use these agents to list their property at low cost. Instead of the current 5% or 6%, they can pay 1%. It means they get more profits to keep from the sale of their homes.

Their pre-sale begun on March this year and the crowdsale started in the end of the same month and ended on April.

The application will also be made available on iOS and Android.

The token would be compliant with regulation including the KYC, AML, Accredited Investor verification, and the HOWEY test. They are issuing a SEC registered SAFT variety of AVC to anybody who buys more than 1,500 AVC tokens.

With the platform, buying hotels, businesses and shopping centers will become easier and affordable for anyone regardless of their location. In other words, investors can invest small amounts into target projects (what they choose from the listings) at any stage of construction (and pay in cryptocurrency via smart contracts) to own a share and share in the profits. It will have a decentralized registry. The investors will submit offers to developers who can accept them by digital signature. The intermediaries will still perform their functions which include contract analysis, notarial procedures and etc.

Presale took place on November last year while the public ICO started 10 January 2018 and ended on Mar 31.

Brick Block

Brick Block works just like any other asset tokenization platform but with differences here and there. It allows customers to sell and invest in tokenized assets on the blockchain including real estate. Once the asset owners tokenize the assets, the platform offers the Proof-of-Asse (PoA) tokens to willing buyers and these tokens legally entitle the token holders to profits from asset value appreciation. The company raised more than $12 million USD from 3-stage ICO (concluded in May) together with private investments.

The good thing with this project is that it is a working product, having successfully executed private tokenized real estate sale in December last year. Their smart contracts are also approved by industry-leader ConsenSys Diligence.

The most obvious questions for these platforms would be why an asset owner would want to tokenize an asset? Well. Once they decide to sell, selling through tokenization comes with many benefits: low fees hence more profits from sale of property, no agents hence more profits, no much paperwork and delays, no geographic restrictions, minimum amounts from different investors, minimal counterparty risk, and quick settlement of transactions. Token holders can ear profits from every transaction by activating the Brickblock tokens (BBK), in addition to trading them.

The company is also building the world's first decentralized asset-backed token exchange on Ox protocol and it will feature a fiat payment gateway. They also run the Brickblock Fund, an actively managed fund of crypto and real-world assets, capitalizing on trading asset-backed tokens.

The tokens on the platform are tied to the pools of assets and

RxEAL, however, allows for participants to store deposits in more stable coins Dai by Maker or even ETH.

The system also helps in decentralized dispute resolution thus eliminating legal fees lost as a result of trust issues and dispute resolution.

The platform will generate revenue from fees on issuance of real estate tokens, and from subsequent fund performance fees. The fund will generate revenue from rental income of the underlying properties and capital gains upon selling properties or unwinding the fund. The net profits will be shared among TEM token holders. TEM are ERC20 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.

Holders also get voting rights on the platform and they can allow or disallow decisions regarding platform development.

The investments will be guided by and compliant to the regulations in the sector. The investors will also undergo through KYC/AML procedures.

The company will start the private sale soon and anyone can currently apply for white listing to determine if they can participate.

Realista Token

Realista is powered by NEO platform and is available for both iOS and Android in addition to web application. It is a blockchain-based project that helps sellers and buyers to easily access property they can trade with crypto and fiat. They eliminate the high fees in the real estate industry -- which is the industry's current biggest challenge, make it easier and fast to search for localized property in the oversees markets, and make it possible to invest in real estate with little amount of funds.

They currently have more than 40,000 registered agents across Australia and New Zealand. Besides, the company is planning to expand in USA (currently in beta testing), UK and Singapore (to go beta testing this September). With it, users can find property worldwide for sale, instantly. It currently has attracted 24,000 members. It allows users to build feeds that keep them informed when new properties are listed on the market.

The application, which officially launched in July last year, also enables anyone interested in a property to take 3-D virtual tours of the property and focus on the details they need to see before making the decision they need to make. It will also have chat and otehr features on the mobile (to launch later in the third phase).

Property owners upload data for property and access to this is paid in Realista tokens (RET) (just a small fee). On the other side, clients can apply for property renting online directly through the property. Users can also earn RET by leveraging their social media to drive property listings and connecting landlords with potential property buyers or renters (increasing organic reach and conversions).

The startup will hold its presale from July this year and the crowdsale in August.

ZABERcoin

ZABER coin or ZAB project is run by a team that has extensive experience in business, real estate, investment, finance, IT and law. Basically, the team hopes to invest the proceeds from investors by buying real estate in emerging real estate markets and then sell them after refurbishments, for instance, hence gaining profits to be shared.

The holders will earn from the intrinsic value of each Zabercoin as well as sustainable income stream from either rental income or company earnings strengthens. The tokens, which are ERC20 tokens, are redeemable for share certificates after 5 years from the date of the ICO to allow time to buy the property. There will be 10 million Zabercoins available.

The system employs an open-source blockchain codebase and the token is backed by real estate assets and is tradeable on exchanges such as Bittrex, shapeshift and Poloniex. There will also be merchant applications and processing services from the company, in order to ensure usability of the coin worldwide without issue.
After the March ICO, the company wants to purchase real estate property in emerging markets and proceed with development of the platform.

The startup held an ICO from Dec to Jan 16 after a November pre-ICO.

Lending coins

ETHLend

While some platforms use their platform currency value as collateral when lending, ETHLend and Brickblock work by the idea of tokenizing real world assets such as real estate to be used as collateral for loans. After tokenization, the collateral can be expected to maintain its value over a period of time.

Toeknizing the digital assets means they can be traded on the marketplace. The platform works on Ethereum blockchain-based smart contracts. You do not even need a bank account to lend or borrow since you can borrow cryptocurrency. They, however, added fiat-based loans and installments in the forth quarter of last year and more tokens and altcoins lending is coming in the forth quarter of this year.

The platform uses LEND tokens for tokenization and for payment. Ownership of tokens provides the right to use platform and a 25% discount on deployment fees when paid with LEND. It is not a share or entitlement of any kind.

They sold 1 million tokens in an ICO ended in the forth quarter of last year. BrickBlock, whose work is to invest crypto from users into real-world assets, raised $12 million USD from its ICO.

Home Loans

Home Loans works more like TokenLend, which failed to raise enough funds from investors. It provides home loans or real estate lending (mortgage) for individuals, local partners, crypto communities, and businesses and thus these can buy or invest in property without ordinary loans from banks. Built on Ethereum blockchain, Home Loans lets people invest in loans secured by real estate around the world. These loans are accessible for anyone who owns HOME coins which are based on the Ethereum platform.

It assesses the creditworthiness of a customer in just 20 minutes when one is applying for their first loan. This is done using sophisticated algorithms. The credit histories for customers are stored on the blockchain for future lending purposes.

It has the advantage of lesser interest rates for loans and users can get higher credit ratings as they go on using the platform. It stores aggregated big data and credit histories on the blockchain.

The platform also provides users with the ability to purchase property anywhere in the world. Converting their savings into HLCoin currency exposes people to getting potential yields from real estate lending, property purchase and protection of their income from inflation.

LendingCoin

LendingCoin is a cryptocurrency that is backed by real estate. With it, investors can partner in larger commercial investment projects instead of seeking for loans elsewhere, for instance from banks.

Token holders can get financing and use it to grow their portfolio of real estate, invest in real estate, refinance their homes, or use that money the way they like. They can then pay that amount of money in small rates and using the TLC. Therefore, although the person gets financing in the form of USD, they have to get cryptocurrency TLC to repay that loan back, and therefore, this creates more demand for the tokens.

The lending platform will launch in the third quarter of 2018 and become available for non-US investors in the fourth quarter.

TokenLend

TokenLend, users around the world could invest in real estate secured loans using cryptocurrencies or fiat. Small investors, in their idea, would use small amounts to buy into secured loan-based investment portfolios and thus earn a competitive, predictable, and consistent return. The investors would be able to access carefully selected and pre-checked secured loans, especially from trusted EU loan originators. In other words, there were to be a strict loan selection criteria.

The TokenLend idea was to re-validate information received from loan originators, including borrower’s personal details, pledge information, appraisal, and LTV ratio. Lenders basically add loan proposals and then once reviewed, the loan smart contract is created and added to the platform.

TokenLend was based on the Ethereum blockchain and works on distributed ledgers, and was being developed by the team that created the popular PC software DAEMON Tools.

To get the loan, ideally a user would transfer TLN tokens which are native tokens for the platform-- and then they get Loan Participation Notes (LPN) (which are linked to the user’s ETH wallet address) that they then use to communicate with lenders in the marketplace.

The number of tokens from all users would be transferred to the loan originator's account as loan principal.

SALT Lending

SALT Lending is a platform that allows people to list their property and get cash loans. Moreover, it facilitates P2P lending where crypto holders can lend each other and receive interest and regain their crypto assets when the loan is paid back.

The interest rate will depend on the agreement between the parties involved and there are no repayment fees. Further, there is no credit score required and the person seeking for a loan only needs to have cryptocurrency assets. All the loans are secured with legally compliant smart contracts. Basically, once a person gets a person to lend them money, the crypto assets acting as collateral are kept in a fully-audited, ultra-secure architecture until the loan is repaid.

Lenders need to pass the SALT Lending Suitability Test to become an accredited investor. The borrowers are then matched with capital from the extensive network of lenders.

It works in three value tiers and products: the first is membership tier, with which a person can access up to $10,000 USD funds and repay within 3-24 months; Premier which avails up to $100,000 and the borrower can access USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, RMB with a repayment period of between 1 hour and 36 months; and Enterprise where the borrower can access up to $1,000,000 and get ad hoc currency selection and metered terms.

All member categories will access market data and educational resources and loan management web portal, but the Premier and Enterprise categories get additional features such as credit and debit cards, portfolio management, early access to products, API integration (only for enterprise) and access to SALT Hardware Wallet where actual price may vary.
