<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*crWLqf3Ro_1GOoFayyYkLQ.png"></figure>Analyzing a blockchain project is one of the main starting points of an investment decision. At the time this text is written, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/">CoinMarketCap</a>, one of the main reference of cryptocurrency market portals, has more than 21,000 projects. And the number only grows.
However, the first and best known cryptocurrency existing today is Bitcoin (<a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/">BTC</a>). Created in 2008 by anonymous programmer Satoshi Nakamoto, BTC is the benchmark for understanding the crypto market and blockchain.
However, many aspects have evolved since mining the first block of the bitcoin blockchain. And we must always take into account that knowledge is the foundation of everything.
In this way, having information about the projects that one wants to be part of becomes paramount in this market sector. And that’s what we’ll talk about today!
<h3>Differentials of a tokenized project</h3>
Tokenization, that is, the issuance of tokens linked to a project inserted in the blockchain, is the most used way to capitalize a blockchain project. Thus, the law of supply and demand prevails.
By disclosing the project and making the tokens available for sale, the greater the demand, the higher the price of the crypto asset. We are talking about the new network, the web 3.0. In it, dissemination and building a crypto community is essential.
Normally the communication of a crypto project takes place in English, as a project can be acquired globally. After all, blockchain has no borders. We’ve talked about this a few times!
There is also project maintenance. It is in this sense that blockchain technology revolutionizes everything, because, by programming smart contracts, the costs incurred become lower, and finally, democratizing investments.
It is possible to invest small amounts, in huge valuations. However, with big profits comes big risks. Therefore, if you do not have a bold investment profile, it is better not even start.
Still, it is possible to invest in the token market without being open to its volatility. This type of tokenization project is linked to the real estate sector. We have, in Brazil, the starting example, <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">Kodo Assets</a>.
<h3>Alert points</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*n87DUY3mXnAxkhqOfZbrFA.png"></figure>However, even if you see a project that you like, knowing more information about it will make you make better decisions about your. Here are some important points:
<ul>
<li>
Understand the project: knowing what it is for, which market pain it solves, if it explains its purpose, are some of the points to research. You can get this content through the project’s <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">website</a>, the whitepaper or even through your social media;</li>
<li>
Whitepaper: is the document that contains all the necessary information about the project, how the tokens will be allocated, roadmap of the project, and more;</li>
<li>
Community: As mentioned above, web3 is about building communities, the interaction between participants and outreach by the project team. <a href="https://t.me/kodoasia">Telegram</a> is the most used place for this purpose;</li>
<li>
Team: who are the persons and the positions taken by them. The team has <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1p5DswuUME">experience</a> in blockchain and in the market it wants to operate in? The team knowing what to do is crucial for the project to take off;</li>
<li>
Partnerships: with whom the project establishes its ties, reliable partners give credibility to the project, shows that they are not kidding.</li>
<li>
Publicity: Following the trail of the community, <a href="https://linktr.ee/kodoassets">social media</a> and <a href="https://www.blockchainnewsportal.com/kodo-assets-introduces-new-way-to-invest-in-real-estate-through-tokenization-and-blockchain-technology/">press releases</a> help the project to become known, with people reviewing the project to give their opinion.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How to make a decision</h3>
It’s not easy to make decisions that involve risks, but the more information you get from reliable sources, the greater the possibility of success.
Always stay tuned for news and warning points that may make you change or follow your investment idea. If, and only if, after your analysis, you come to the conclusion that you want to invest, then let’s go.
It is possible to start with small amounts, and increase your allocation as you see the project grow. No investment is immutable, and only invest as much as you feel comfortable with and you won’t need this source right away.
Finally, if you want to start analyzing a project that generates reliability, combining tokenized return with partnerships and a strong team, you can start by reading the <a href="https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf">Bitcoin whitepaper</a>, and continue your studies at <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">Kodo Assets</a>.

How to analyze a blockchain project

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*a2PvUGD_n5Ns_3dbgL9Gjg.png"></figure>Many investors, especially those who operate on the Stock Exchange, study the fluctuations and volatility of an asset in order to obtain information about the best time to buy or sell it and thus obtain good results.
That said, a very simple explanation of how <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/about-us">Kodo Assets</a> reduces volatility would be that by receiving earnings and accompanying the appreciation of the asset, investors seek the long term, an investment modality that automatically goes against volatility and It’s a conservative form of investment.
However, let’s go deeper to better understand how this happens. After all, the best tool to help you choose investments is knowledge.
<h3>What does volatility mean when it comes to finance?</h3>
The feared “volatility” is a market characteristic that expresses the oscillation of the price of a certain asset, that is, the standard deviation. It is not, therefore, a matter of being something good or bad, as it depends on the objectives of the financial operator and the intensity of such a characteristic, at the time an asset is bought or sold.
Broadly speaking, the higher the volatility level of an asset, the more its price will vary, thus increasing the chances of return on investment, as well as increasing the risk, since this result can be positive or negative.
We can say that there are three types of risks or volatility in an investment:
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*WojffRejlTcccEsOD0k4Dw.png"></figure>Quotation (in fixed income, for example, profitability may not vary, but the quotation price may vary like a property, which does not change the rent value but is valued over time).
Profitability (in the case of shares, the price variation is the same as profitability).
From the company issuing the investment (bankruptcy risk).
<h3>Historical volatility</h3>
By now understanding what volatility is, the time has come to learn more about this financial knowledge that is widely used on the Stock Exchange.
Conceptually speaking, historical volatility is an annualized standard deviation.
To arrive at this value, it is multiplied by the square root of time (252 — when daily). Thus, it is possible to know how much the quotation deviates from the average, still in the average.
Thus, historical volatility can be used in many ways.
In the real estate market, it is possible to analyze the levels of appreciation or devaluation of a property, or even of areas.
<h3>Opportunities provided by the study of volatility</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*aqnVapJ1AyArUy5JF-mWwQ.png"></figure>In the case of São Paulo, for example, Kodo Assets was able to identify that there is a large deficit in the appreciation of the corporate square meter, compared to other major financial capitals in the world, such as Chicago.
Starting the process of <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/kodo-assets-introduces-way-invest-050300710.html">real estate tokenization of a building in Faria Lima</a>, KODO1 is already offered as an extremely safe and conservative investment, with the possibility for investors to position themselves directly on the <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">project website</a>, without the usual bureaucracies that keep new investors away from a market that only grows, worldwide.
This study offers investors the opportunity to take an early position in a reality that is not yet known by most people and will benefit everyone who is interested in investing in the real estate sector, but will undoubtedly benefit even more those who understand how the future of the market will real estate is knocking at the door, through the tokenization of corporate slabs like KODO1.
<h3>KODO1 is a Token, not a Day Trade Cryptocurrency</h3>
We know that Day Trade is a legal investment modality and that it can bring good results to those who do not have the availability for many hours of study and operation in real time, daily.
For more conservative investors looking for capital reserves, KODO1 is an opportunity to “acquire a piece of real estate” through real estate tokenization.

And the winners of “The Tokenizer” contest are…

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0bC5N2XOutNbeyuXLd422w.png"></figure>New business models in the real estate sector are expanding day after day, demonstrating that, as much as they may say, investing in this market continues to be a great opportunity.
However, we always have to analyze whether and how this new model can be profitable and safe for your portfolio.
The newest modality in the sector is the tokenization of physical assets, such as commercial real estate, corporate floors, logistics warehouses and more. The token is nothing more than the evolution of American REITs, in other words, a token is equivalent to a share of a REIT.
However, it is not possible to talk about real estate tokenization without including blockchain, but we have already talked a little about it in other texts. Until then, you can follow our <a href="https://www.instagram.com/kodoassets/">instagram</a>.
<h3>A brief history</h3>
Since the beginning of our experience of living in a community, there are those who own properties and those who rent them for the most diverse purposes. Since the advent of the bourgeois class we have, holders of assets, and who live on the income provided by these assets, until the present moment, with investments in real estate shares.
From the way to acquire a property, to the way to sell it, even the way to monetize with them, it has improved. From buying and/or selling in cash, to a financing provided by a financial institution, to consortium companies, all of which entitle you to the total purchase of a real estate property.
However, the ease of acquiring a property temporarily, renting, has also improved. That is, apps like <a href="https://www.airbnb.com/">AirBnb</a>, or the Brazilian <a href="https://www.quintoandar.com.br/">Quinto Andar</a>, open the doors to provide new experiences to their users.
But not only that, the evolution also occurred in the institutional sector, with large builders and banks observing that today’s society thinks about the benefits of having a property, but does not want to assume the costs and headaches of maintaining one.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*qSX9iriBqw3jjEa_B-WidA.png"></figure>When we think of real estate, there is always the feeling that the income that comes from renting could be better, especially when we think of the costs involved in maintaining a habitable property for its tenant.
In addition, when acquiring a new property, there are notary costs and lease contracts tend to scare more than encourage new people to this type of income. However, a movement is present in this evolution, the purchase of real estate investment quotas.
With these shares, their holders are part of the management process of the chosen real estate fund, like the holders of shares or crypto assets. Those who invest in this modality aim for ease of investment, without bureaucracy. In addition to being subject to quota appreciation, there is also a reward in the form of monthly income for the quota owner.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*NtpH9QIdhij6mfjOjN2VMA.png"></figure>Nowadays, many people seek mobility, and not just acquire a place to live or develop their business. Therefore, having a house and living in <a href="https://imobireport.com.br/millennials-e-os-imoveis-nao-querem-ou-nao-podem-comprar/">it is no longer a dream</a>.
With this, investment in real estate funds becomes increasingly sought after. Added to this factor is the growth of the real estate market, mainly in Brazil, with blockchain technology and with the revolutionary <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck1nejrAkb6/">tokenization of properties</a> as a product.
It has numerous advantages: it is globalized, less bureaucratic, without headaches, with high liquidity, low volatility and premiums above the average for a real estate fund. A very conservative investment. As an example of this type of investment, <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">Kodo Assets</a> entered this market with its first tokenization, KODO1.
The <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkiO77FsSyI/">evolution of real estate funds</a> links the institutions that offer real estate to interested investors. However, its offer is direct, without intermediaries, and everything is registered on the blockchain, which guarantees an auditable and transparent transaction.
In this general panorama, about tokenization, the important thing is to know better how it works, and how to invest. For this, we recommend getting to know the launch of the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClELvRJuz6U/">KODO1</a> token better.

The new real estate business models

<h3>From tiny to biggest — Globalization and market players</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Xubi7fWReKdOEAjsgj5X-w.png"></figure>The real estate sector is diverse, which is why it always attracts investors with a less aggressive profile.
Thinking about this development, we don’t just have individuals who buy real estate to monetize their accounts, large companies in the construction area, banking institutions and others see real estate as a good deal.
They negotiate, build, sell, rent and manage real estate portfolios, generating income and boosting gains for those who are open to learning more about the subject. Inside a country, or with a global perspective, investment in real estate has changed, including more and more people interested, with an entry price that is increasingly accessible to everyone.
Let’s see a little about the panorama of this market in Brazil, and we’ll also talk about what’s to come in this regard, in our conversation today.
<h3>The Real Estate as a business</h3>
We need to be aware that there are more than just houses and residential buildings around the world. Commercial buildings, corporate floors and logistics warehouses are some of the examples of how this market is wide and in demand.
However, from the small owner to a large property builder, the path is wide and profitable — if you know how to do it. That is why, more and more, big players expand their conglomerates, turning their attention to the current needs of their consumers.
For example, in addition to being a construction company, the conglomerates also develop the work of developers, taking care of the sales of their own properties on the plant. As they also improved in the real estate management sector, taking care of the administration of sold units, offering to those interested in spending just a few days in the place, like an AirBnb.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*h5s5bqSUEEJs0dktNids_w.png"></figure><h3>Big business players</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*dl0fUU_9K4Qpb2PcHpNgIQ.png"></figure>This new business structure generates perpetuity and revenues from different points, maximizing the return on investment, in addition to combining a field expertise with lower costs.
But you might think that only construction companies are part of this model, but large investment banks and other banking institutions have also entered this game.
Thinking about the Brazilian business market, our focus at the moment, large traditional banks and other financial companies seek their spaces with FIIs (brazilian real estate funds). This model consists of acquiring properties with profit potential, creating a portfolio of properties for this FII.
After the paperwork and the approval of your negotiation, the shares begin to be sold.
In a simple way, this is the step by step to get a new Real Estate Fund to investors. Finally, shares are available on the stock exchange and can be purchased through a stock brokerage.
<h3>The recovery with new opportunities</h3>
It is worth mentioning that, despite this certain ease for FIIs commercialization, this negotiation is restricted to a national scope, not acquiring a <a href="https://www.worldcryptotimes.com/2022/10/25/kodo-assets-introduces-new-way-to-invest-in-real-estate-through-tokenization-and-blockchain-technology/">global</a> character. However, this level is changing with the advent of blockchain and tokenization of assets.
The enhancement of a business model takes place through <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClHlph7AwPb/">tokenization</a>, as the establishment of real estate tokens opens up a global market for trading these assets.
And thinking about the sector’s business panorama in Brazil, the leader of this movement is <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">Kodo Assets</a>. The interesting thing about this new way of trading is the security brought by the blockchain, for its immutability and transparency in data visualization.
Another key feature of this technology is the absence of a third party, such as construction companies and large banks. This initiative removes power from these companies, reducing operational costs and opening up new consumer markets.
This appears to be the future of physical asset trading. You acquire a token, as an example we have <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClZbXREJQaK/">KODO1</a>, which is the first wave of tokenization for this project. This is a small project, but with great potential for market share growth.

From tiny to biggest — Globalization and market players

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*5Qe1ZzFa2X5TkhlGu8MhVA.png"></figure>The term white paper (or whitepaper, both are accepted) originated in politics. The first white paper was <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_paper">Churchill’s White Paper</a> in 1922, which laid out the policy idea before it became law.
Politicians used them as advance drafts, and it became widespread in marketing and sales areas in the 90’s. It became a tool to promote products and increase the curiosity of potential customers.
For the crypto market, a whitepaper is the opportunity to show the full potential of the project to be developed. First document made of this type is the Bitcoin (BTC) whitepaper.
However, the evolution that began with a 8-page document written by Satoshi Nakamoto is one of the main points of a project to show what it came from and what it intends to solve.
Therefore, knowing what it is and giving due importance to it is paramount for anyone who wants to explore the blockchain universe. So, let’s know more about it below!
<h3>What is a whitepaper?</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*cH_NxMw0uh1an5rb2-aOqQ.png"></figure>The whitepaper of a cryptocurrency project is one of the most important points to read and analyze. Through it we got more information about the project. In addition, technical and relevant aspects can be shown more accurately, helping us to make investment decisions.
As mentioned, the <a href="https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-paper">Bitcoin whitepaper</a> was the first; however, one of the most important points in the crypto world was based on it: the need to clearly inform who intends to contribute values to a project.
Transparency must occur not only through the revolutionary blockchain technology, but also in how members communicate with the community that supports and invests in them. Therefore, some descriptive topics become mandatory in its development.
There is no predetermined formula for making a quality whitepaper. Everything will depend on the focus that the project members want to expose. From this position, it is possible to find the funniest and most relaxed texts, normally used by blockchain game projects, to the most technical and sober ones.
Another point on which there is no recipe is, exactly, the summary of a whitepaper. We can find simpler documents with few pages, as in Bitcoin, to long and very detailed documents, showing nuances of the project and images of what is to come.
In other words, there is no rule for a perfect document, the only key point really is, if the project you’re eyeing doesn’t have a whitepaper, the red flags should go off right away.
<h3>Why is he so important?</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*HyOlbelnOc8c0gQoL3THBA.png"></figure>The whitepaper of a cryptocurrency project is nothing more than one of the most important publicity pieces. This view comes from the potential for economic globalization arising from blockchain technology.
Most modern whitepapers are written to spread the project’s information or to raise funds (these are often synonymous).
A whitepaper is a report or guide that informs its readers about a specific topic or issue. For example, developers can create a whitepaper about their software to educate users about what they are building and why.
Crypto projects typically seek capitalization with individuals. Firstly, because they don’t have the money to invest in advertising, but also because they don’t have, at first, easy access to the investment funds .
For example, while investors can make better investment decisions, developers can decide whether to participate in a given protocol. Likewise, after reading the whitepaper, a person interested in the idea can more confidently decide whether they want to be part of a given community.
<h3>Attention points</h3>
Whitepapers are important to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. While there are no standards for creating them, whitepapers have become a fundamental research tool for projects.
Ideally, a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkqbVNWtEc7/">whitepaper</a> should provide clear information about the goals of a cryptocurrency project, as well as its plans to achieve them. However, whitepapers are not regulated and virtually anyone can write it.
The content of any whitepaper should include the following talking points (in no particular order), but need not be limited to them:
<ul>
<li>Introduction;</li>
<li>Legal Notice;</li>
<li>Index;</li>
<li>Description of the market and the problem;</li>
<li>Description of the product and how it will solve the problem detected;</li>
<li>Tokens: how many, why, how, when and so on;</li>
<li>Tokenomics (token economy): how funds raised will be used;</li>
<li>The team;</li>
<li>The Roadmap (execution script).</li>
</ul>
In conclusion, you need to know the most obvious warning signs of a weak whitepaper. If you spot any of these, it’s time to reconsider your investment decision:
<ul>
<li>Spelling errors and simplistic language;</li>
<li>Inaccuracy in the description of the project and its motivations;</li>
<li>Very grandiose promises;</li>
<li>Sections omitted or without useful information;</li>
<li>Whitepaper is hidden.</li>
</ul>
Remember that having a whitepaper as a tool for <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkHAmdEvx-8/">information</a> and study is a valuable tip. After all, with these documents it is possible to move beyond speculation to the fundamentals behind a project.
<h3>What else?</h3>
After reading a few whitepapers, you’ll start to spot common patterns. In very general terms, we can distinguish three types of whitepapers: academic ones (like Bitcoin and <a href="https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/White-Paper">Ethereum</a>), marketing ones and useless ones (like shitcoins and memecoins, as they have no use in the market).
Modern whitepapers can be read even by people who don’t understand about blockchain. Cryptocurrency companies understand that investors don’t necessarily know (or want to know) how blockchains work.
They care about the potential return and whether a project has an interesting use case, so this becomes the focus of the whitepapers. Therefore, if you are interested in a particular project, it is important to carefully review the whitepaper, considering its potential drawbacks and risks.
An important place to access whitepapers for cryptocurrency projects is <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/">CoinMarketCap</a>. Through it you have the official links made available by the projects, guaranteeing security in your accesses.
Finally, it is always important to be sure of your investment possibilities, so even after analyzing a project, you can know whether it fits your investor profile or not.

Why should you always read the whitepaper for any project?

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*i4SS-CR-j58IDlt66xXPng.png"></figure>Real estate and virtual land already move millions of dollars; some companies, artists and individuals saw a good opportunity to generate income with digital experiences, arising from the technology of the Web3 and the Metaverse
<h3>A brief explanation of what Web3 is</h3>
Combining the two previous phases of the internet (web1 + web2) and also adding the improvements that a large part of the community expects, we find the concept of Web3, which can be considered the next generation of the world wide web.
This new concept is marked by the existence of a new reality, the blockchain, which allows for decentralization and much more transparency in transactions, while guaranteeing the security of user data.
The term blockchain can be understood as “a chain of blocks”. This technology works like a digital ledger, which stores all the data in these blocks. Each of them receives a kind of fingerprint, a unique mathematical code called a hash. These hashes are interconnected in chronological order of the blocks, making them, in theory, immutable, guaranteeing the suitability of what was registered.
<h3>And this so-called Metaverse, what is it?</h3>
Metaverse is like a network of virtual worlds. Many experts consider this to be the future of the internet, with the main purpose of replicating the reality we live in, promoting social connections.
The term Metaverse was used for the first time in a fiction book, a novel with the title, “Snow Crash”, written by Neal Stephenson, in mid-1992. In the work, the author united the words meta and universe to create the then unknown Metaverse.
The story unfolds portraying characters who use digital avatars to enter and interact in this online universe, in order to escape from a reality considered dystopian. The idea remains one of the main pillars of the metaverse — allow people to have immersive experiences in the digital environment, without leaving their homes.
<h3>It’s possible to choose a property by using Augmented Reality</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*cR6Ut5Dk7vzCkldIoZ0Zzw.png"></figure>Augmented Reality (AR) provides a total virtual immersion experience, shifting the user from the real world to another, fully simulated by computer. It is possible, for example, to see yourself inside a property and take a tour in the rooms, having the real impression of being there. Something that certainly makes it easier when choosing a property.
Seeking to keep up with the development momentum of small and large cities, the real estate segment needed to adapt to maintain its line of growth along with technology, and this happened in almost all other existing segments.
Let’s exemplify. Currently, it is easy for a person to look for ventures to invest anywhere in the world. It could be in China, Germany or any other country, this person will be able to carry out her search simply by entering keywords on the internet.
And the moment you find a property you like, you want to get to know it better. Many companies already offer the virtual tour service, which can be much more immersive when it is done through AR, using specific glasses in the experience, the main objective of virtual reality.
<h3>And choose the decoration of your new home with R. A.</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Irzk2CWJUTrS3dAx-_O0jQ.png"></figure>Augmented Reality designates the interaction between virtual environments and the physical world. A good example of Augmented Reality are the QR Code labels in city landmarks. Through the reader application on the smartphone, you can have access to a virtual guide, which indicates locations, including tracing the route to reach the selected location.
It is also possible to see how a certain piece of furniture would look, in a place where you point the cell phone camera, having selected this piece of furniture in an online store that provides the augmented reality service.
<h3>The Metaverse and Web 3 are a path to be explored</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*uP9s3Vj3BC2t70fISthV9w.png"></figure>One of the major challenges pointed out is the lack of regulation and responsibility for data, for the blockchain itself, which could lead to major thefts of information and digital assets. One of the most popular was the <a href="https://www.coindesk.com/learn/the-story-behind-quadrigacx-and-gerald-cotten-netflixs-crypto-king/">Quadriga Scam</a> in which it is speculated that the founder of Canada’s largest cryptocurrency exchange orchestrated a fake death, deceiving thousands of people and disappearing with 250 million dollars.
Being able to closely monitor and be involved as your confidence level increases is one of the simplest ways to be confident in a new environment. Some companies are pioneering the web3 and bringing news to the real estate market, such as <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/about-us">Kodo Assets</a>, which presents a new way of positioning real estate funds, more precisely, real estate tokenization, initially making <a href="https://youtu.be/6MLtCg7x63w">KODO1</a> available.
A safe and extremely smart way to invest in the real estate market, one of the most conservative when it comes to finance, and at the same time enjoy the most advanced technologies, blockchain, web3, metaverse, augmented reality, etc.

The real estate market in the metaverse is already a reality

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*gNLche3qLXhiPqHLbDSqdw.png"></figure>Security is a topic much sought after by anyone who owns a smartphone. After all, more and more, our personal, social and financial lives are inside the memory of devices or in the clouds, with access from a cell phone.
In other words, it is necessary to rethink the use of this gadget, as well as reformulate the necessary measures to keep your information protected from malicious people.
In this sense, those who invest in crypto assets should be extra careful, because, despite all the security mechanisms implemented by centralized exchanges, for example, each of us needs to do our part, too.
<h3>Why bother?</h3>
Currently, having your smartphone stolen or broken is the equivalent of losing your personal documents, and it can give you the same headache to recover what you need.
Due to this change in how we store our information, having security mechanisms on our smartphone is paramount.
The fragility of our data is daily present on the internet, not only with personal data leaking from companies, but also by hackers and even thieves who physically steal a smartphone.
In recent surveys carried out in Brazil, more than 80% of the population makes purchases using smartphones. This means stored financial data that can be obtained if we don’t take care of our cell phone security.
From this, and seeing this market change, smartphone manufacturers develop new models already focusing on the security aspect. Whether with biometric or facial recognition, these initial security measures generate a considerable update for us, but they need to be activated.
Cell phones without a password or without any of these requirements automatically become more vulnerable than others.
<h3>Your financial life on your smartphone</h3>
Nowadays, those who invest in digital assets usually have at least one app from a centralized exchange, a cryptocurrency price monitor (such as CoinMarketCap), a two-factor authenticator (2FA) and a cryptocurrency wallet on their cell phone. Not mentioning bank accounts, cards and more.
And that’s not all: nowadays, the use of fixed devices such as desktops, notebooks or ATMs for financial access is falling day after day. That is, from paying a bill at the restaurant to buying or selling some Satoshis are done through a smartphone.
Therefore, there’s many ways to guarantee the security of your data, the more prepared you will be for possible day-to-day mishaps. It is estimated that most cryptocurrency purchase and sale transactions on exchanges are carried out via a smartphone.
Not to mention that you can buy tokens from a centralized exchange and direct them to your online wallet from your cell phone as well. Another trading opportunity is selling tokens directly from project sites to your crypto wallet.
An example of this is the <a href="https://www.worldcryptotimes.com/2022/10/25/kodo-assets-introduces-new-way-to-invest-in-real-estate-through-tokenization-and-blockchain-technology/">sale of KODO1</a> tokens by <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">Kodo Assets</a>, which is scheduled for the second half of December. In this open sale, the traded tokens are transferred to the crypto wallet that will transfer the amounts for acquisition.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*utO-DEq4RJd0UpcEu8Sueg.png"></figure><h3>Tips to increase security</h3>
Thinking about shielding your crypto wallet with security measures is the order of the day, so we have some suggestions of how to do it:
<ul>
<li>Have the access password for your smartphone activated, and if you have other blocking mechanisms, configure them according to your needs;</li>
<li>Store your used passwords and seed phrases from your crypto wallets in a safe place. Never keep them online on your cell phone;</li>
<li>Keep your mobile phone’s operating system and apps always updated;</li>
<li>Use strong passwords or password generator in your apps;</li>
<li>Enable 2FA (2-Step Verification) on your accounts whenever possible;</li>
<li>Try to access websites through official means, avoiding becoming a phising victim (entering fake websites that steal data);</li>
<li>Have control over financial movements, so you will notice something suspicious more quickly.</li>
</ul>
Simple but effective measures are the starting point to keep your assets safe.

Do you take care of your smartphone security?

<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*eqQoErRCrF_6rmV90gYKTg.png"></figure>Asset tokenization is one of the most important blockchain features. Through this process, the issuance of value is possible. In the meantime, tokenization is seen as the future of the traditional financial market.
This validation does not only occur by blockchain enthusiasts and researchers, but also by experts and investors in the traditional financial market.
In the first half of November, we saw the repercussions surrounding the FTX exchange and its financial insolvency. The case resulted in the company filing for bankruptcy, leaving many customers without their values ​​held in custody at the exchange.
This type of occurrence is one of the allegations that lead regulatory offices in each country to seek regulation of the cryptocurrency market. That is, the definition of a regulatory framework leads to the opening of new uses of blockchain and its functionalities for the traditional financial market.
Let’s see how this movement can be beneficial and how it can affect you, the investor!
<h3>Cryptocurrency X Token</h3>
For Rafael Nasser, doctor and professor in informatics at PUC-Rio, “every cryptocurrency is a token, but not every token is a cryptocurrency.”
Under this view, it is said that every token generated within its native blockchain can be called a cryptocurrency. As an example we have bitcoin (BTC) generated within the Bitcoin blockchain; or the ether token (ETH), which is generated by the Ethereum blockchain.
In contrast, we can think of a token as a digital asset generated on another blockchain, as the project for this token does not have its own blockchain, therefore, they are developed in external systems. As examples we can talk about the game token Axie Infinity (AXS) or the token KODO1, from <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">Kodo Assets</a>.
This definition, however, is not unanimous in the blockchain environment, but it is the most accepted and reverberated. And now that we already have knowledge about it, let’s talk more about tokenization.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*cvbMEpS92VV97hvJfhKEvg.png"></figure><h3>Why tokenization?</h3>
Through tokenization, the stock market will enter a new era. That is, companies will be able to tokenize their shares and make them available in a global market, not just a local one, restricted to the borders of their country.
It would also no longer be necessary to go public on different stock exchanges in each country. Marketing will take place anytime, anywhere on the globe. This is the revolution that blockchain can bring.
In addition, the tokenized market can be carried out without intermediaries, reducing costs that a company has to make its shares available to investors. This is yet another reason that seeks to reduce problems, such as the case of the FTX bankruptcy, as you will not need to leave your crypto assets in exchanges, but in your wallet.
It should be remembered that we already have examples of successful tokenization. And we have blockchain development companies that do that work.
However, if we think about existing tokenization use cases, I can mention, again, Kodo Assets and its issuance of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cky2AOCg6jR/">tokens focused on the real estate market</a>.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*4dGDm42gORqkihzZAZOtLA.png"></figure><h3>How to monetize with low risk</h3>
Finally, as much optimism as this tokenized landscape offers, a conscious investor always looks for low-risk assets for his portfolio. In this sense, <a href="https://www.worldcryptotimes.com/2022/10/25/kodo-assets-introduces-new-way-to-invest-in-real-estate-through-tokenization-and-blockchain-technology/">real estate tokens</a> are the request for an allocation of resources for those who are looking for a balanced portfolio. As an example we have the Kodo Assets project.
This project is equivalent to investing in Brazilian real estate funds (FII), similar to US REITs. Its first tokens are KODO1, referring to shares of a property already leased in the city of São Paulo, the financial capital of the country.
As it is a real estate project, the profitability is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ClELvRJuz6U/">higher than fixed income</a> investments, but they bring security and lower costs because their programming takes place in blockchain. Therefore, if the search is for balance combined with profitability and technology, <a href="https://linktr.ee/kodoassets">researching</a> more about Kodo Assets and its next steps is the way to go.

Asset tokenization and its market benefits

<h3>How Polygon (MATIC) works — the platform chosen for KODO1 launch</h3>
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*wJ8Vv6Dt-wLM5nr4OS8FCA.png"></figure>Previously known as Matic Network, Polygon is a framework that consists of building interconnected blockchain networks, that is, it enables a scalable interchain. Polygon provides an infrastructure for creating networks that can interact with each other, always looking to solve some of the main limitations of Ethereum.
<h3>A brief summary of the Polygon network</h3>
Following this path, some limitations that <a href="https://www.polygon.com/">Polygon</a> seeks to solve in Ethereum are the bad user experiences (high speed and delayed transactions). Another limitation of Ethereum is the lack of governance of its community, and for this, Polygon created a solution: the sidechain.
Going beyond being a simple scaling solution like its predecessor “Matic Network” which used a mathematical technology known as Plasma to process off-chain transactions before finalizing them on the ethereum main chain, Polygon is designed to connect and build <a href="https://ethereum.org/en/">Ethereum</a> compatible blockchain networks.
Through Polygon, developers can launch predefined blockchain networks with attributes tailored to their needs. They can be customized with a growing range of modules, which allow developers to create sovereign blockchains with specific functionality.
<h3>Scalability and more affordable rates</h3>
Polygon is a multi-tiered platform aiming to scale Ethereum thanks to an infinity of sidechains, all aiming to unclog the main platform in an effective and cost-effective manner.
If you are unfamiliar, sidechains are unique blockchains that are linked to the main Ethereum blockchain, effectively supporting the many decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols available on Ethereum.
At the heart of the network is the Polygon software development kit (SDK), used to build Ethereum-compatible decentralized applications as sidechains and connect them to its main blockchain.
Where many see a Ethereum killer, there may actually be a savior
At the core of Polygon’s vision is Ethereum, a platform that houses a variety of decentralized applications where you can join virtual worlds, play games, buy art and participate in a variety of financial services. However, this much activity on its blockchain has rendered Ethereum almost unusable as the cost of network transaction fees increases and information traffic clogs up.
The invitation is to be part of Polygon. In summary, this sidechain presents itself as a Layer 2 network, which means that it acts as a complementary layer to Ethereum that does not seek to change its original layer. Like its geometric namesake, Polygon has many sides, shapes and uses and promises a simpler framework for building interconnected networks.
In fact, Polygon wants to help Ethereum expand: size, security, efficiency and usefulness. Seeking to encourage developers to bring attractive products to market faster.
After the rebranding, Polygon kept its cryptocurrency under the name MATIC. The MATIC token is used as the payment and settlement unit between participants interacting on the network.
<h3>Can the Polygon network be considered a reference?</h3>
Binance has fully integrated the Polygon mainnet (MATIC) into its platform, according to its press release. As of now, Binance traders can deposit and withdraw MATIC through their Binance accounts, while also interacting with decentralized applications, or DApps, such as Sushiswap, Balancer, Aave, and more.
This integration aims to ensure that traders can utilize said DApps cost-effectively and efficiently without using the existing Polygon bridge.
While this announcement specifically focuses on the mainnet MATIC token, Binance also intends to support the associated ERC20, BEP2, and BEP20 MATIC tokens.
Binance marks Polygon’s most recent integration, as the network has previously worked with Huobi and Coinbase Wallet, among others, to the same effect. The scalability solution is supported by several Ethereum-centric services as well, such as Metamask and Infura.
DApp users are patiently waiting for Ethereum 2.0 to solve many of their scalability issues. However, it looks like Polygon is filling that void for now. The network gives developers a way to build unique sidechains for all of their DApps, which can provide the necessary growth capabilities for mass adoption.
<h3>Choosing the Polygon network for its advantages</h3>
With the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CkG6BWxvVzW/">real estate market tokenization</a>, it will no longer be necessary to open an account in the country you want to invest in. From this, the potential buyer public and return on investment increases exponentially.
In addition, with the real estate token, you have the same rights as an FII (a modality of real estate investment in Brazil), with the addition of having a safer technology that can be traded from anywhere, at any time.
In this way, with all the advantages clarified above, we can say that Kodo Assets offers its investors the best investment experience in real estate tokenization, through the low transaction fees and speed delivered by the Polygon network, being considered the best blockchain option that the market currently has.
<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*f9wu-3WEchRJeQFN8JDUXw.png"></figure><h3>Kodo Assets to see a promising future with KODO1</h3>
The expectation of net annual profitability of the KODO1 token is 6% until June 2023 and 6%+ annual rent adjustment by the IGP-M. The resulting amount after the fees will be distributed as receivables to KODO1, thus issuing the tokens that represent the rights inherent to the property.
As explained by the CEO, Ciro Iamamura: “The owner of the <a href="https://youtu.be/6MLtCg7x63w">KODO1</a> token will be entitled to receive dividends from the rents of this property, proportionally to its participation in the tokens versus the total number of tokens issued by the project.”
To obtain the tokens, the investor must access the official website of Kodo Assets, fill out a personal information form, present documents and go through the facial recognition process. After the KYC/AML checks and with your registration approved, you can purchase as many KODO1 tokens as you want.
It is worth remembering that, in addition to KODO1, <a href="https://www.kodoassets.com/">Kodo Assets</a> is already planning to launch the tokenization of new properties for the first quarter of 2023. This project is the opportunity to guarantee profitability and passive income in a safe and transparent way.
