Propy Whitepaper 2.0
In the following, we present a framework for the “trustless” frequent
trade of ownership rights to real property, via the “encapsulation”
of those rights into a Non-Fungible Token (NFT), and participation
of NFTs in the DeFi space as well as crypto title insurance. In this
framework, the transfer of possession of the NFT will act as a proxy for
the purchase of the real estate.
The concept comprises maintaining an electronic version of the Propy
NFT ownership proprietary paperwork “on-chain” where the NFT smart
contract can change the name of the legal entity owner as a result of a
transfer of the NFT from a seller to a buyer on an NFT auction site such
as Propy NFT Marketplace. Our task is to provide the legal framework
that authorizes the NFT smart contract to do the modifications of the
legal paperwork, and also the legal framework in the Terms of Use
agreements governing the creation and the listing of the NFT.
The paper will also discuss three ways of transacting real estate
utilizing blockchain-enabled solutions, including NFTs; as well as
“blockchainizing” or “NFT-ing” real estate in the US as a long term
strategy.

Introduction
Why are real estate NFTs the next logical step after digital collectible NFTs?
The answer is simple: unlike movable personal property, real estate does not
require a physical transfer of the property as it is immovable and cannot be
stolen.
In the future, an increasing number of real estate transactions will be
taking place remotely online. Besides coronavirus and other publicly
disturbing events that lead to mass hysteria, there are behavioral and
technological evolutions that have been turning real estate from a
purely physical asset to a digitally behaving one.
The world of digital assets is expanding, and we are starting to see
each piece of daily life being converted into a computer-readable
format. Art and new digital commodities are being created in the
metaverse in the form of NFTs. Money is already digital; in fact, only 8%
of the world’s currency is materialized in the form of physical cash. The
stock market is digital, as Charles Schwab was the first major financial
services firm to sell stocks online, which ultimately led to an online
real-time market for digital assets. As for tangible physical goods of
generally low value, such as books and clothes, the majority of these
items are traded online and around the clock, thanks to e-commerce
platforms such as Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba. In contrast to low-
value goods and services, there is a class of high-value assets that
are behaving more and more digitally due to their digital ownership
representations; this category includes real estate, cars, expensive
collectibles, boats, and venture investments.
When it comes to homes or cars, a digital record determines the ability
of an individual to resell the asset in the future. It does not matter who
actually uses the possession (i.e., lives in the house or drives the car);
the legal owner of the high-value asset is the one who is recorded in a
piece of code. Today, in the specific context of ownership, authorities
store records in digital format (rarely on paper). In the United States,
counties keep digital documents (scanned deeds) in databases
that are managed by recorders’ offices. The previously government-
controlled process of establishing car ownership is now controlled
by private companies that take care of the records. Thanks to an
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
increased trust in deals, not only has the process of online ownership
transfer become possible, but the dependence on governments to
store this data has decreased, unlocking further innovations.
The real estate asset is behaving like a digital asset because the
ownership of the asset is already digitized; furthermore, the paperwork
for the ownership transfer is also mostly digitized (thanks to the
innovations of companies and organizations such as DocuSign and
the National Association of REALTORS). In addition to these significant
changes related to real estate and how it is traded, there will be further
transformations and developments in the coming decade.
NFT-ing a property means that ownership can be transferred from a wallet
to another wallet in a secure manner, as a result of a fair auction on smart
contracts. Paperwork, disclosures and title insurance are linked to the NFT.
If a movement of NFT-ing homes at scale starts in the US, those who
will be doing the first NFTs for properties, might be entitled to receive
royalty fees from all future secondary sales (agents and sellers).
Depending on the kind of asset (land, housing, commercial properties),
there may be a need for a management company that will take care of
maintenance, payments, and collection of rents after the transaction.
Still, these are services related to operating the property as a revenue-
generating investment and do not relate in any way to protecting
ownership rights. The notion of “custody” as it applies to real estate is
closer to abstract functions involving legal operations and transfers
of funds than to the physical handling and warehousing required by
movable personal property or commodities. Thus there is a similarity
to the digital collectible NFTs which have become popular in 2021.
This paper will explore how the process works, which middlemen will
be eliminated, and which data providers should be accessed for the
settlement.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Three Ways to Transact
Real Estate on Propy
Propy’s mission is to automate the real estate transaction process.
Propy-developed infrastructure allows for three types of transactions
that are demanded today. In order to achieve settlement for a property
transfer, the system of smart contracts needs to receive data about the
entire transaction, such as the title history, the payment and e-signed
paperwork. It also needs to communicate to the current infrastructure
- recording offices and banks for fiat payments. This is why Propy has
been working on the critical integrations to make this data flow in and
out and power the settlement.
Here’re the key data points Propy was able to connect to via numerous
partners and integrations:
NAR and Token holders >40 banks for
1,5m agents The network wire payments
Propy Protocol
Title Crypto to fiat
Search exchange gateway
70% of counties for E-signatures
title recording
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Traditional deals on smart contracts
These transactions use fiat payments and mortgages, and are listed on
Propy and Multiple Listing Services
Crypto payment
Bitcoin, Ether, XRP and other cryptocurrencies can be accepted as
methods of payment when properties are listed on Propy. Propy
manages KYC, exchange and escrow. Properties may also be listed on
MLSs.
NFT-ing a real estate asset
While properties can be listed on an MLS and on Propy, NFT auctions
can only be transacted on NFT marketplaces and are currently cash-
only deals. Purchasers preferring traditional deals may request the NFT
be “burned,” and then execute a traditional closing on Propy.
Sales channels and the closing process are not limited by any of the
three options. Furthermore, all three options do not affect the payment
of property taxes that are applied in any case.
Thus all these options do not have limitations in terms of the sales
channels or the closing process. Property taxes are paid in all three
options.
The market will initially have all three options and gradually one of
the options will dominate. While Propy is currently doing all three, we
expect NFTing real estate will eventually become the standard.
The underlying technology for all three methods of transactions
is the Propy Protocol, which is described in the Whitepaper 1.0 of
2017. The Propy protocol relies on the Propy Registry which records
each settlement on the blockchain via smart contracts. Every time a
smart contract is executed there is a Propy token sent to unlock the
settlement. Whether it is an NFT sale or traditional deal on the Propy
platform, each transaction requires tokens to be executed.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
NFT-ing real estate is possible in
the following ways:
NFT-ing an entire property.
Sharding an NFT to sell fractions of a property.
NFT-ing 20% of a property.
NFT of an entire property is the first use case developed by Propy. See
below how it works.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0 8
NFT-ing a Real Estate Asset
Propy suggests a novel model of keeping ownership rights via legal
entities instead of personal names recorded in the county’s recorders’
offices or land registries, for the reasons government registries are not
immutable, are prone to cyber-attacks and risk corruption.
Just like equity rights are being changed via the privately owned solution
Carta, we suggest keeping home ownership rights via legal entities
independent from governments by complying with regulations. Initially,
county recorders or land registries will have the legal entity recorded
as the owner, not an individual’s name. When a property is sold, it is the
legal entity that is sold and thus the ownership change does not require
the recording by a governmental registry.
Propy is the trusted party that will provide the service to verify legal
entities and provide maintenance services for legal entities. We envision
many homeowners will prefer to keep their property rights in the entities
to access a more liquid and secure market as well as due to privacy
concerns because the majority of the US counties’ records are public.
Propy has developed proprietary legal paperwork to encapsulate
property rights into a US-based legislation entity.
For the POC US-based legislation is being used. Each sale of an NFT will
effect a complete, self-contained transfer of membership rights because
the legislation we chose does not require registration of the change of
ownership of the legal entity but merely that the change of ownership
gets recorded in the legal entity’s private documents, kept internally by
the entity owners.
Therefore we can maintain an electronic version of the Propy NFT
ownership document on-chain (in the sense that an off-chain
stored agreement is associated with an on-chain hash to ensure its
authenticity), where the NFT smart contract can change the name of
the legal entity owner as a result of a transfer of the NFT from a seller to
a buyer of the NFT on an NFT marketplace. For the POC the ownership
change will happen automatically and instantly when an auction is
concluded and the buyer wishes to enter ownership. After the buyer
provides the name and KYC information via an online form provided
to the NFT buyer together with the digital assets, the NFT ownership
transfers instantly to the buyer’s wallet. The flow is described below in
the chapter NFT Protocol and Flow for the Ownership Rights Transfer.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Why Would Someone NFT Their Property?
Royalty fees and innovation
Homeowners and real estate agents who are NFT-ing real estate, can
learn how it works and can be part of history. Also, whoever NFTs a
property first can be entitled to receive royalty fees from secondary
sales.
Crypto adoption and easiness of a transaction
The interest in real estate from the crypto community will be driven by
the common desire to transact easily on-chain using cryptocurrency. A
crypto holder most likely will invest a small percentage of their returns
into any tangible real world asset if the process is crypto-friendly and
simple. This is exactly what the NFT-enabled sale process offers.
Collectible real estate
The initial use cases might be driven towards assets most relatable to
collectibles before mass adoption of NFTs in the real estate industry
more broadly. Trophy real estate is incredibly high in demand, but also
short in supply. Its risk/return ratio is more optimized than other real
estate assets. Typically located in super-prime or prime locations, these
assets are generally a status symbol with well-known name recognition,
a landmark, or an iconic building located at a prestigious prime address
with strong underlying property fundamentals such as unique and
distinctive design architecture, the finest construction, or the highest
quality finishes available on the market.
Trophy real estate owned by celebrities, or in prime location, or with
unique digital art and architecture can be regarded as a collectible.
The level of pride of ownership is very high, and the purchased price is
almost irrespective of the trading potential of the property, just like with
other collectibles.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
NFT Legal Framework and Flow for the
Ownership Rights Transfer
Propy has developed proprietary legal paperwork to encapsulate property
rights into a US-based legislation entity.
Therefore we maintain an electronic version of the Propy NFT ownership
document on-chain (in the sense that an off-chain stored agreement is
associated with an on-chain hash to ensure its authenticity), where the
NFT smart contract can change the name of the legal entity owner as a
result of a transfer of the NFT from a seller to a buyer of the NFT on an
NFT auction site such as OpenSea. For the POC the ownership change
will happen automatically when an auction is concluded and the buyer
wishes to enter ownership, which happens automatically after the buyer
provides the name and KYC information via a form provided to the NFT
buyer together with the digital assets.
One paradigm for a procedure to create a property
NFT (the property held by a legal entity) is
summarized below:
1. The Propy NFT ownership document will contain a clause permitting
the assignment of rights to happen the moment a sale of the NFT is
completed as follows:
• The clause shall stipulate that at any time the valid owner is the
current owner of the NFT whose public wallet key will be stored
in the NFT as “owner ID” AND whose name has been registered in
the Company.
• There will also be a legal clause stipulating that the only
valid version of the Propy NFT ownership document, which
is timestamped, is the version that has been amended with
the changes introduced with the transfer of the NFT to a new
owner. Thus the only valid version of the Propy NFT ownership
document will contain the name of the current owner of the NFT.
2. Propy will modify the “transfer” function of the NFT smart contract
in order to affect the modification of the Propy NFT ownership
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
document described above every time the auction house activates
the transfer function and provides the wallet public keys of the two
trading parties.
3. Upon execution of the P2P transaction, whereby the payment
is transferred to the wallet of the NFT seller, Propy will collect
identification information from the NFT buyer in order to complete
the transaction and transfer ownership to the buyer of the NFT.
The result of the above procedure is an always-current Propy NFT ownership
document, which will at any time contain the name of the current owner of
the NFT as the owner of the structure.
Property owner hires Propy to NFT their property.
Propy verifies ownership.
Property owner signs Propy’s NFT-suitable US-
based paperwork. The structure designates Propy
as an Administrator.
Propy guides property owner to transfer deed to a
structure. Title insurance issued.
Propy, acting as an Administrator, creates an
NFT smart contract and stores paperwork on
decentralized storage accessible by NFT smart
contract.
Propy lists NFT for sale on a Propy auction site.
Propy whitelists winner and links the name of the
winner to the wallet address.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
The NFT owner automatically becomes the owner of the
entity after a KYC/AML process. Propy protocol and the
seller receive royalty fees from each bid and trade.
PRO payment unlocks the registration of the winning
bidder into the digital ownership paperwork.
New NFT owner can re-list the NFT for sale. Subsequent
NFT buyer automatically becomes the owner of the
property, as long as Propy whitelists the winner.
The NFT owner is the owner of the entity that owns
the asset and thus can possess and use the property.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Propy as an administrator:
Propy as an administrator has no rights to the ownership of the entity or
the real estate asset, and will act in good faith or will face liability as per
the US corporate and criminal laws.
1031 exchange compliance for US investors:
As a pass-through entity for tax purposes, a structure holding the real
property is 1031 exchange compliant. The NFT-ed structure will continue
to be 1031 exchange compliant. In other words, an investor can sell a
home and buy an NFT or sell an NFT and buy a home in a tax-deferred
1031 exchange, as long as he or she satisfies the 1031 exchange
requirements (for example US properties cannot be exchanged for
foreign ones, etc.)
Whitelisting:
an NFT buyer will be whitelisted after running AML/KYC procedures on
him or her and before being allowed to enter paperwork.
Listing the NFT for trade: an NFT can be listed for trade either on NFT
auction-based marketplaces that KYC users or on a Propy-operated
auction facility.
Re-listing the NFT for trade: the new owner of an NFT will have the NFT
in his or her crypto wallet and thus will have the ability to re-list the NFT
at any time on the same or on another NFT exchange.
“Burning” of the NFT:
the current owner of an NFT can “burn” the NFT in a procedure that will
have two elements: the blockchain “burn” element and the legal element,
i.e. the transfer of the property ownership from the structure to the
current owner of the structure or to a third party chosen by the current
owner of the structure.
Property taxes:
many governments require registration of changes of ownership of legal
entities holding property located in their jurisdiction after the transaction.
Propy is facilitating this service.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Fraud prevention:
There are two kinds of fraud that can happen: (1) The first kind is the
preparation of a fraudulent Propy NFT ownership document containing a
false name in place of the owner of the structure. This can be prevented
by a legal clause defining the current “on-chain” copy of the Propy NFT
ownership document as being the only valid form of the agreement.
In the absence of a clause restricting the valid form of the agreement
to the “on-chain” version only, the Propy NFT ownership document
can be printed and physically be presented to the transfer agent (title
company) for a conveyance of title. But this method introduces the risk
of fraud by an intermediate, temporary owner of the NFT who can print
the agreement with their name as the owner while holding the NFT. Of
course, this risk exists even when such a clause is included because the
individual committing fraud can always remove this clause from their
fraudulent printed version, but Propy can publicize the paperwork and
the NFT description can contain warnings about the existence of such a
clause.
The second kind of fraud is the listing for the trade of a fake NFT with the
same name and description as the real one and pocketing the winning
bid money. The best way to prevent this kind of fraud is to provide
a facility to potential bidders which will distinguish the earlier time-
stamped NFT as the genuine one.
Administrative services:
For frequent trading, Propy will keep track of changes of ownership so
as to allocate/apportion and charge tax obligations and apportion and
transfer rent payments. The “charging” of expenses can be made against
a security deposit required for each trader whom Propy whitelists and by
providing a user-friendly interface with credit card/crypto payments.
These auxiliary services have nothing to do with the transfer of
ownership rights, which are fully and autonomously transferred P2P
every time trade of the NFT happens. These services must be expressly
restricted to “ministerial and routine tasks” and not to the management
of the investment, i.e. without any discretion for control of the
investment, in order to avoid getting into securities laws territory.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Title Insurance:
The original homeowner’s title insurance in most cases will pass to the
structure with an endorsement, but this is dependent on the particular
policy and property location. As an alternative solution, crypto title
insurance is applicable.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Propy NFT Marketplace
Based on smart contracts. Product that accepts fiat and crypto
payments. A critical part of the platform is KYC and AML (....) of each
bidder and the winner in the auction to avoid any violation of the legal
framework. The current NFT marketplaces are not allowing KYC-ing
users. In real estate however we need to know the real names of the
buyers. Propy marketplace requests names and addresses of bidders to
further secure instant ownership transfer.
NFT Marketplaces facilitate the exchange of assets anonymously.
However, real estate markets require the real names of the buyers and
sellers in order for transactions to comply with regulatory regimes. The
critical component of the Propy Marketplace is the inclusion of KYC and
AML protocols to ensure crypto real estate transactions without violating
these legal frameworks.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
TOKENS in the NFT marketplace
The tokens are an essential part of ownership transfer in Propy Registry
for any type of transaction (traditional in dollars, in crypto or as an
NFT). Tokens are also an integral part of the learn and earn approach
for market participants to incentivize them to join the network, and/
or contribute data and/or invite other participants. Tokens are charged
for transactions settlement, including NFT transfer, as well as for data
access in the Propy ecosystem, such as analytics around offers, bids
and transactions on Propy, price prediction etc.
Full Token economics is described in the Whitepaper 1.0 2017.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Price Prediction
Our vision is to bring never-before-seen transparency to the real estate
prices.
Using game theory, the power of market sentiment, and the
decentralized blockchain technology, the system “crowdsources” market
predictions. With Propy’s Price Prediction, users will be able to predict
future real estate prices. Once official statistics become available at the
end of the “prediction moment,” the users with the closest guess will
receive the reward from the prediction staking pool.
Real estate buyers and investors deserve never-before-seen insight
into real estate market prices to ensure they’re entering the market at
the most opportune moment. Real estate is an excellent application
for prediction markets since property price discovery is currently very
opaque.
Propy’s Price Prediction is a proprietary technology for crowdsourced
price prediction for properties -, whether they will be listed on MLS or
as an NFT on Propy. Licenced realtors will be able to predict the price
after they visit the estate and get rewards after the sale if they guessed
the price with 3% variation. This will allow to predict prices for the seller
according to the current state of the local market, and price the property
accordingly.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Long-term vision - NFT-ing
real estate in the US
In this paper, we are presenting the concept of NFT-ing real estate,
and gradual de-attachment from the governments’ land registration
processes. This is possible if gradually real estate assets will be
transferred to legal entities, which is a common practice in the US
already amongst homebuyers requesting privacy. As the assets will be
transferred to legal entities that are tied to NFTs, the county records will
contain the record of the entity as the owner of an asset in perpetuity.
When the sale occurs the entity remains the same, but the owners of
the entity will be changed according to the sale of the NFT. Thus, no
record in the county is needed. The records of change will be stored on
the blockchain. Taxes are still owed. Title insurance is attached to the
entity. If any risks are involved in the new process of transacting it will
be covered by the crypto title insurance, which will be more effective and
more affordable and will rely on blockchain protocols, see below.
The solution is similar to a product known as Carta, which keeps
ownership of legal entities independent from government while following
regulations. Propy follows a similar approach for homeownership.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
DEFI for NFT-ed real estate
Once it is possible to NFT part of or an entire property, the NFT will
become collateral in the crypto world which unlocks “crypto mortgages”
and “crypto HELOC.” To make NFT ownership secure, a “crypto-insurance
fund” is the next piece that the industry requires. To make the crypto
mortgage and crypto HELOC scalable and feasible, “crypto appraisal”
instruments will have to be created. NFT, DeFi, crypto title insurance,
and crypto appraisal will create a full cycle for the new age of liquid
real estate. Propy is committed to creating this revolution with its own
technological and legal solutions as well as via partnerships.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
NFT of 20% of a Property
Imagine a world where people own an NFT of Larry Ellison’s island, or
NFTs on Elon Musk’s house, or on SpaceX property, or even a piece of
Mars. Propy is developing a vehicle for homeowners to keep 80% of
their house, and sell off 20% as NFTs. Then the new buyers could trade
portions of the house, but the homeowner keeps 80% of the upside.
When the house turns over, the NFTs would have the option to hold or
sell. Privacy of the owners should be taken into consideration, where
Propy systems know and verify the address but it’s not discoverable by
the public for celebrity homes.
Once homeownership (entire or fractional) is turned into an NFT, one
can borrow against this asset similarly to HELOC (see next chapter) or
sell a portion of it. For the fractional sale of a property, in the beginning,
Propy will do it through Reg S exemption, which is restricted only to non-
US investors and Americans living abroad. (Selling portions of a home
to US non-accredited investors can be offered further by Propy or other
companies, with filing with SEC under Reg D or Reg A for assets under
$50m in value.)
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Borrowing Against NFT-ed Home Equity
Since the late 1980s, home equity loans and home equity lines of credit
(HELOC) are popular loans that are secured by a borrower’s home.
Nowadays a consumer can apply for HELOC through a bank or a lender,
but the interest rates are still high.
Now with the development of DeFi and NFT we have the opportunity
to fully democratize the process, and make home equity financing
what Airbnb did to home-sharing and Robinhood to stock investing.
If the home equity is represented by NFTs and accessed on Propy’s
NFT marketplace, consumers and retail investors can easily turn into
borrowers and lenders, and can access cheaper and faster financing,
and benefit from the profits that are now available only to institutional
investors.
Benefits for Consumers
1. Provide an accessible source of available cash faster than banks
and traditional lenders.
2. Affordable financing: The interest rate on a home equity loan at
the moment is from 2.5% to 21%, with Propy it can be significantly
lowered, starting at 1%.
3. Consumers get a single payment and a lower interest rate while
keeping their tax benefits
Benefits for Retail Investors (Lenders)
Home equity loans were always a dream come true for the banks and
other institutional lenders. With Propy’s NFT Home Equity everyone can
turn into a lender and start earning interest income on the home equity
debt. If the borrower defaults, the lender not only gets to keep all the
money earned, but also gets to repossess the property, sell it again, and
restart the cycle with the next borrower.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Appraisal
The main challenge for the concept is property evaluation and speed
of appraisals. As real estate becomes more liquid via NFTs, appraisal
technology backed by cryptographic algorithms and crowdsourcing,
similar to the price prediction models such as Augur and Gnosis, will
make it quick and efficient. The crowdsourced price prediction solution is
described above.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Crypto Title Insurance Fund
The title industry is not efficient yet due to a lack of data integrity when
it comes to ownership data traceability, liens, and other potential claims
origination databases. Regular title companies have 6% claims, thus this
business has high margins. As the industry moves to blockchain records,
the industry will have fewer and fewer claims, very quick resolutions,
and immediate title search. This is why insurance funded by the crypto
community makes sense.
Initially, the insurance will be offered only to cash buyers because
mortgage providers require traditional title insurance, while cash buyers
are not required to buy title insurance. Any crypto holder can contribute
to the insurance fund and get a return. Network participants who
execute title searches will be title miners and will earn Pro tokens if they
are a correct oracle provider or a penalty if their data is wrong.
As all transactions are on blockchain and more oracles are integrated
into Propy (such as divorce registry, title plants, liens data providers, etc)
the insurance will lower in price and the fund may shrink in the US but
would expand in developing countries, as their infrastructure does not
have reliable historical or current data.
Propy Whitepaper 2.0
Decentralization and longevity of Propy
Propy aims for a fully decentralized marketplace for real estate assets.
This means that the market participants will own the network. The data
stored won’t be dependent on one point of failure.
All files will be stored on a distributed storage (IPFS) at the next stage.
If Propy were to close its operations, the transaction participants will
have private keys to all their documents forever. If a buyer loses a private
key, they can reach out to agents or brokerages to access data. For the
time being Propy will always be able to identify the user and provide
the transaction data upon request if passwords or private keys are lost.
There will not be a case where ownership is locked into a digital wallet
with single access to a private key, which could be lost together with
ownership.
One day real estate assets will be listed on a decentralized marketplace,
they will be traded easily and securely, in any currency, cross-border.
Prices will be predicted by local market experts. Any flaws in the system
will be insured by a crypto-enabled insurance fund. After properties in the
US are NFT-ed at scale, NFT real estate funds will emerge. New type of
financing will facilitate an easier mortgage process, which is also crypto-
enabled. Real estate NFT will be a collateral. Real estate assets will be
tracked via blockchain systems instead of government’s ones.
