“We are proud to be on the verge of launching one of the most innovative solutions that will revolutionize the way people invest in real estate using crowdfunding and tokenization through digital assets. This has democratized investments while allowing the digital trade of real-estate assets in a more seamless, secure, efficient, and quick manner. We have developed not only a state-of-the-art property listing portal with a mobile application for retail users, which will be live on July 1st, 2021 allowing developers and brokers to get a free listing and sales management platform, but, we have also developed our crowdfunding self-tokenization platform for properties which allows fractional ownership of properties. Together these two platforms will revolutionize real estate investments.”

Aqarchain is built on the Blockchain Tezos platform, which is Sharia-compliant and has a high-security level. Tezos is one of the most popular blockchain platforms and it is a decentralized, open-source, energy-efficient Proof of Stake blockchain network that can be used to conduct peer-to-peer transactions and as a platform for smart contract deployment. The native cryptocurrency for the Tezos blockchain is the tez which has the symbol XTZ.
