Xcavate Milestone 2 W3F Grant Application

[xcavate2022]

Project Abstract

Real world real estate has traditionally been only available to a small number of people due to the incredibly complex nature of the asset. It is currently not possible to invest directly from a real estate developer without "trusted" third party intermediaries like banks, solicitors, estate agents and investment funds.
Our goal is to create a community-controlled protocol, which empowers global communities to directly fund and invest in real estate developments that span across; residential, commercial and community non-for-profit projects. By leveraging sovereign digital identity and real estate asset specific verifiable credentials, this will create a less trust more transparency environment, removing many barriers to entry for the average person.

This is a follow-up to a previous grant, #1649

Thanks for the PR, but it looks like you want to apply for a follow-up grant and not amend the current agreement. Could add a new application/file to the repo, rather than changing the existing agreement?

Apologies - yes we are applying for a follow up grant… I’ll create a new application now

Incorrect PR... new application created for milestone 2
