Blockchain technology is transforming multiple industries, and the real estate sector is no exception. Oceanpoint, an innovative Decentralized Finance protocol within the Blocksquare ecosystem, is changing the way real estate marketplaces are developed and operated. But how exactly do you do it? Through its Launchpad, Oceanpoint allows the community of BST token holders to support new marketplaces that use Blocksquare technology, reducing their costs and promoting their growth. Read on to understand how this platform works and how it is revolutionizing the real asset tokenization sector.
What is Oceanpoint?
Oceanpoint is a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO) designed to potentially own an unlimited set of real estate assets, where anyone can participate without legal restrictions and earn by contributing to a DeFi protocol backed by the real estate economy.
Moreover, Oceanpoint offers a unique tool through its Launchpad, designed to empower the BST token community. This tool does not focus on listing properties directly but rather on supporting and enhancing new marketplaces that utilize Blocksquare’s technology to offer more accessible and transparent solutions in the tokenization of real-world assets.
Oceanpoint’s mission is to democratize access to real estate investments, allowing a global community of investors to participate in the development of innovative marketplaces. This is achieved not only through blockchain technology but also through the governance and community participation model facilitated by the BST token.
How Does the Oceanpoint Launchpad Work?
Oceanpoint’s Launchpad is a core feature of its ecosystem, intended to help new marketplaces reduce their startup and operational costs through Community support. BST token holders can participate by betting on these emerging marketplaces, which not only allows them to contribute to the growth of the platform, but also benefit from the success of the marketplaces they support.
Steps of the Oceanpoint Launchpad:
1. Marketplace Submission: New marketplaces that utilize Blocksquare’s technology can submit their projects on the Oceanpoint Launchpad. This includes a detailed description of the project, its value proposition, and how they plan to use Blocksquare’s technology to achieve their goals.
2. BST Community Staking: BST token holders can stake their tokens to support these marketplaces. This support is crucial as it helps marketplaces reduce their operational costs, allowing them to focus on product development, marketing, and expansion.
3. Benefits for the Community: Participants who stake their tokens can earn rewards based on the performance and success of the marketplaces they support. This fosters an active community committed to the ecosystem’s growth, aligning the interests of investors with those of the projects.
4. Marketplace Development: With community support, marketplaces can develop more quickly and at lower costs, benefiting from Blocksquare’s advanced infrastructure and community funding. This not only accelerates their growth but also gives them a competitive advantage in the market.
Benefits of the Launchpad for the Community and Marketplaces
The Oceanpoint Launchpad offers a range of benefits for both the BST token community members and the marketplaces that use Blocksquare’s technology:
1. Cost Reduction for Marketplaces:
Emerging marketplaces can significantly reduce their initial and operational costs thanks to community financial support, allowing them to focus on growth and expansion. This decentralized funding model is especially beneficial for projects aiming to enter the market on a limited budget
2. Community Empowerment:
The Oceanpoint community, through the BST token, plays an active role in deciding which marketplaces to support. This not only strengthens the ecosystem but also creates a robust support network aligned with investors’ interests. BST token holders are not mere spectators; they are active participants in the direction and development of the ecosystem.
3. Rewards for Participants:
BST token holders who participate in the Launchpad receive rewards for their support, creating an incentive model that encourages active participation and investment in the ecosystem’s growth. These rewards can come in the form of financial returns, additional tokens, or exclusive access to future projects.
4. Innovation in Real Estate:
The Launchpad facilitates the creation of new business models in real estate, allowing innovative marketplaces that leverage blockchain technology to provide more accessible and transparent solutions. This includes platforms for trading tokenized properties to decentralized financing solutions for real estate developers.
Examples of Marketplaces That Could Benefit
Oceanpoint is designed to support a wide range of marketplaces looking to innovate in the real estate sector and related real-world assets. Here are three notable examples of marketplaces currently using the Oceanpoint Launchpad to drive their growth:
1. Portio Capital: A Coliving Marketplace
Portio Capital is a marketplace focused on facilitating investments in coliving properties. This business model responds to the growing demand for coliving spaces, allowing investors to acquire fractions of these properties and benefit from the rental income. Through the Oceanpoint Launchpad, Portio Capital seeks to reduce its operating costs and improve the exposure and liquidity of its offers, connecting with a community of investors interested in this innovative real estate sector.
2. PIEME: Tokenization of Hotels in Africa
PIEME PIEME is a marketplace that focuses on the tokenization of real estate assets, specifically hotels in Africa. The objective of PIEME is to facilitate the raising of capital for the acquisition and development of these hotels, offering investors an opportunity to diversify in the African hotel market. Through the Oceanpoint Launchpad, PIEME aims to connect global investors with these opportunities, allowing them to participate in an expanding industry with high growth potential.
3. Rancho Altos: Tokenization of a Tequila Distillery
Rancho Altos aims to use tokenization to finance a tequila distillery, allowing investors to participate in the production and marketing of tequila. Through the Oceanpoint Launchpad, Rancho Altos aims to raise funds from the community and offer an innovative way to invest in the tequila industry. This project demonstrates how tokenization can open new avenues of financing for specialized and unique businesses, giving investors access to non-traditional sectors.
Upcoming Marketplace on the Launchpad: Tokeniza Real Estate
The next marketplace to be included in the Oceanpoint Launchpad is **Tokenize Real Estate**, the first platform focused on the tokenization of mortgage bank debt for retail investors. This marketplace aims to allow small investors to access investment opportunities in mortgage debt, traditionally reserved for large financial institutions. Tokeniza Real Estate seeks to democratize access to this type of assets, offering a transparent and accessible model through the blockchain.
The Tokeniza Real Estate campaign on the Oceanpoint Launchpad will start on September 11 and will be open for 30 days or until it reaches the target of 100,000 sBST. Interested participants can access the Launchpad via this link.
