The vision of 'Tokenized Real Estate' has always included providing Liquidity to real estate assets

"Tokens" are supposed to be vehicle for off-chain assets to access the liquidity they never had before

Few people actually illustrate where that liquidity actually comes from....

Ethereum has seen an explosion of #DeFi applications.

Most of Ethereum's DeFi apps attract users by providing
- access to assets, or
- liquidity to assets.

In the case of @UniswapExchange, it does both.

This is why @uniswapexchange is such a good fit for #RealT!

We are able to provide our customers with liquidity for their real estate assets, and the ability to swap real estate positions at the push of a button.

Push-button access to real estate is a techno-topia dream!

This is also a novel use of @UniswapExchange!

RealTokens are the first security token made tradable on the @UniswapExchange!

Being a decentralized exchange means that centralized companies and assets can use your exchange, and bring in their own compliance logic with them!

Because RealTokens only are transferrable to Ethereum addresses on the RealT whitelist, any non-whitelisted address that attempts to buy a RealToken on Uniswap will find their transaction results in an error.

Try it yourself, if you want to waste some gas!

To us at #RealT, this illustrates the power of the Open Finance movement.

Well over $1B was raised to generate a security token exchange, when @UniswapExchange offers a viable and free alternative

RealT is a centralized company building upon a decentralized blockchain. Many ask "why aren't you using a database?".

If we were on a database, we would not have access to Ethereum's #DeFi tools

DeFi isn't just for individuals. It's for companies too!

We expect the (few) security token issuers on Ethereum to follow this hybrid model.

As we build out our integration with @Uniswap, we plan on building our own front-facing UI for customers, and simply keep Uniswap in the backend.

Users who buy or sell properties won't ever have to know about Uniswap.

With further integrations with a payment processor like @sendwyre, and an internal custody solution, the entirety of the blockchain components of RealT can be abstracted away from customers.

The blockchain/token side of RealT will then become an 'opt-in' part of our product, and not forced upon our users, while in the background we use Ethereum for accounting, asset management, and liquidity.

This initial integration inside of @Uniswap is certainly an experiment. There are other ways to enable liquidity to real estate assets as well, and we intend on experimenting with all of them!

For now, Uniswap is the best and most simple liquidity mechanism.

We're looking forward to @UniswapExchange V2, where RealTokens will be pooled with DAI, rather than ETH, making the trading pair far more predictable and stable. For now, Ether will do just fine, because #ethismoney.

If this is your first time hearing about #RealT...

We are a tokenized real estate company! We have a number of rent producing real estate properties available on our website.

Rent is paid every 24 hours via $DAI or your stablecoin of choice!

Big shoutout to @haydenzadams for the generous help he gave to us, as we explored what it would mean for RealT to use @UniswapExchange!
