About Blocksquare
Change Is Building Up.
Real estate has always been an attractive investment, but never accessible to everybody. The upcoming fractional real estate markets are set to change this, as the financial entry barrier becomes almost non-existant. RE tokenization also allows diversification trough multiple properties and locations that is today available to institutional investors only.
This new market will increase liquidity by multiples, something never before immagined. In fact, the illiquidity discount of real estate is estimated to be 10-30%, and commercial real estate tokenization and frictionless trading are set to unlock this value and open the door to a new market worth over USD 5 trillion.
Opening the Door for Fractional Commercial Real Estate Markets.
Blocksquare is a network of tokenized CRE properties, backed by Proof of Title, the protocol linking tokenized properties with title data from traditional land registries. The Ethereum based blockchain layer is supported by a platform that enables regular user interactions and a decentralized marketplace for tokenized property exchange. Similar to how Amadeus or Sabre systems provide the infrastructure for airline companies to sell tickets trough online retailers, Blocksquare is developing the infrastructure layer and standard for real estate tokenization and fractional ownership so retail providers can then develop their services on top. In short, Blocksquare is set to opens access to real estate investment opportunities on a global level to anyone with an internet connection.
Proof Of Title Protocol
With Ethereum and the underlying technical merger of blockchain technology and coded objects, the idea of tokenizing real world assets has become reality. Transferring real world value over the internet poses the need to introduce a system to securely link these coded objects, referred to as smart contracts, to the cumbersome structures of various national land registries. Once an Ethereum smart contract is deployed to the blockchain its internal logic can’t be changed. This in terms means any line written in the smart contract will always be present and can not be modified at a later stage. Blocksquare makes use of these characteristics by copying property specific information from land registries and including it in PropToken smart contracts. On the land registry side, a note containing the PropToken smart contract hash address is added to the title.

Blocksquare Interviews
With global commercial real estate valued at roughly 50 trillion USD, fractional CRE is set to become one of the biggest online markets there is. Dividing a single property into tokens substantially lowers the investment barrier, opening access to CRE for the large crowd of internet users. Moreover, tokens can be bought or sold through online decentralized exchanges without friction, increasing liquidity, adding new value to the underlying asset. With Blocksquare anyone will have access to commercial real estate investments.
Blocksquare is being built in close collaboration with www.medius.si and it's team of 20+ developers. We wanted to first fully understand what the market of fractional commercial real estate needs. As a result, we have been bootstrapping R&D activities for the past 6 months or so, and now are ready to receive our first funding round.
