Tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), such as real estate, luxury items, and high-value goods, is one of the most transformative applications of blockchain technology. FlipVault enables users to securely and seamlessly trade these tokenized RWAs through its on-chain notary service, which incorporates a three-party live trading system: the buyer, the seller, and the notary. The notary verifies and records the transaction, ensuring legal agreements, such as property titles, are securely tokenized and embedded into the metadata of the NFT created during the trade. This process allows users to tokenize assets like real estate in real time, providing a verifiable, immutable record on-chain.
The newly created NFT, representing ownership of the asset, can then be fractionalized into tradable tokens, unlocking liquidity and enabling fractional ownership. FlipVault’s escrow system ensures assets are securely held until the notary verifies all trade terms have been met, providing a secure and transparent framework for high-value transactions.
Example 1: Alice wants to sell her house to Bob. Using FlipVault, Alice and Bob negotiate the terms in a live trading room. A certified notary verifies the transaction and transfers the property title to Bob. During the process, FlipVault creates an NFT representing the house, embedding the verified transaction details and property title into the NFT’s metadata. Bob can later fractionalize this NFT into tradable tokens, allowing partial ownership to be sold to other investors.
Example 2: Emily owns a commercial property and wants to trade it for a mix of cryptocurrency and partial ownership in another tokenized asset. FlipVault’s notary-enabled system facilitates the multi-asset transaction by creating an NFT for Emily’s property, embedding the legal documents and transaction record in real time. The trade is finalized only after the notary verifies all terms, and the NFT is securely transferred to the other party.
Example 3: David owns farmland and wants to sell fractional ownership to several investors. Using FlipVault, David creates a new NFT for the farmland with the notary verifying and recording the ownership details in the metadata. The NFT is then fractionalized into multiple tokens, allowing David to distribute partial ownership while maintaining a secure, transparent record of the transaction.
By integrating the on-chain notary service, FlipVault not only facilitates the tokenization of RWAs but also ensures trust, transparency, and security in high-value transactions. This innovative approach transforms how assets like real estate and other physical properties are traded, unlocking liquidity and enabling broader participation in tokenized ownership.
