According to the UN, the global population is set to reach over 11.2 billion by the year 2100, therefore 2 billion new homes are required in the next 80 years. 20% of all housing is built by small to medium sized real estate developers but access to finance through traditional banks and other financial institutions is complex, time consuming and expensive. -Xcavate is looking to solve this issue by developing a completely decentralised lending and NFT protocol governed by a DAO to help fund the building of real world real estate assets, as well as transact and manage fractions of each property as a route to a global real estate investor market. Our goal is to create a Decentralised Autonomous Organisation (DAO), which has a core Fellowship of real estate developers, investors and blockchain developers accountable to its wider community, so more houses can be built and invested in to help reach the growing demand. +Our goal is to create a community-controlled protocol, which empowers global communities to fund and invest in real estate developments that span across; residential, commercial and community non-for-profit projects. By empowering and supporting innovative real estate developers helps to create affordable housing options, as well as provide a store of value for those wanting a more stable asset. ### Overview -Xcavate will be a first-of-its-kind real-world land & property NFT platform that collateralises real world parcels of land to finance real estate development. -Xcavate facilitates digitising land and/or property title deeds through minting and bundling of NFTs, which are then linked to verifiable digital identities (DIDs) approved by government entities. -Xcavate is an ecosystem that allows real-world property developers access to finance parcels of physical land with planning permission for development. Once the land is at the final development stage, the developer will create NFTs for the individual properties to be sold/managed by a peer-to-peer marketplace (property owners, investors, trusts etc.). -The system will significantly reduce the time from real estate planning permission to build start. By simplifying the finance application process and speeding up the release of funds to the developer. Xcavate not only provides real-world property developers with a way to build quicker but, as a result, enables a more significant number of much-needed houses to be delivered to market. It also provides liquidity to static real-world assets at every stage of the property development process in a fair and risk-averse way. It will enable the real estate to be onboarded cleanly and efficiently, opening up opportunities throughout the broader Dotsama ecosystem. +Xcavate will be a first-of-its-kind real-world lending and asset tokenisation protocol that collateralises parcels of land to finance real estate development. + +The protocol is designed to easily facilitate the digitisation of real-world assets like land and properties through the minting and bundling of NFTs, which can be linked to verifiable digital identities (DIDs). + +By building a more transparent system, which is trust-less by design, removes the need for third-party intermediaries thereby helping to deliver much more value direct to the builders and investors. ### Project Details -We will initially build a POC of the real estate developer loan process to prove the concept. Building a simple polkadot.js wallet that allows verification of identity and creation of DIDS (through the KILT protocol). Once land ownership and build value has been identified (using Oracles) then the LAND NFT can be minted and placed in a multi-sig wallet along with the full loan amount (from the community loan pool). Each build tranche of money will be delivered to the real estate developer wallet, once real estate build evidence has been established and verified. +The MVP consists of a react.js frontend dApp which is hosted on the Crust Network. This frontend is connected to the substrate network via a node.js backend. The following diagram maps out the full tech stack. -![](https://xcavate.io/W3F/DeveloperLoanProcessPOCv2.jpg) +![](https://xcavate.io/XcavateNetwork.jpg) -Xcavate will adapt and build multiple Pallets to execute the functionalities.
