What is RealBlock? Our Mission The drive to cut carbon emissions means sustainable homes are growing in popularity. Eco-friendly Sustainable Homes Today's eco-friendly houses aren't just sustainable; they're smart. For example, in-wall touch screens from AMX that control a home's light, heat, irrigation, sound, and more are perfect for those who split their time among several residences, allowing homeowners to program such features remotely, so energy is not wasted when a home is empty. Problems & Opportunity Real estate investing is a concept that’s as old as the idea of property ownership itself. Like any other valuable resource, land can be bought, refined, repackaged, marketed, sold, or rented out for profit. What has begun to change in the last years are the tools and techniques that are becoming available for anyone investing in real estate assets. As a result, Real Estate Crowdfunding platforms, also RECF platforms, have become an increasingly popular source for financing and investing in real estate assets. While all this represents a significant step in opening access to real estate investments, a more in-depth analysis of major RECF platforms reveals inflexibilities and limitations these platforms are unable to overcome due to the non-digital nature of the underlying complex and cumbersome structure of legal agreements making these real estate assets, even though fractional, challenging to trade. Vision and Platform Rationale The RealBlock™ protocol and network of smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain overcome these limitations as accounting is programmed into the network. Moreover, it opens access to most internet users, allowing anyone, regardless of budget, to participate in tokenized real estate properties in a decentralized manner. While the implementation of blockchain technology for specific use cases is to be considered, initiated, and accepted by government authorities (e.g., title registration, land registry systems, cadastral system, land tenure systems, notary services, etc.), other applications may be built on top of the currently available systems already in place. RealBlock is building the needed infrastructure to give PacDev professionals simple tools for PacDev property tokenization, enabling fractional ownership, giving users effective diversification options, and increasing the liquidity of real estate assets.
