Description
Summary:This thesis investigates how blockchain can improve real estate by addressing inefficiencies in transactions and investment. It develops three systems: a timestamped registration platform, a tokenized investment model using Ethereum smart contracts, and a portfolio optimization model. The findings show that blockchain enhances transparency, reduces costs, and enables fractional ownership. This research contributes to PropTech 3.0 and provides practical frameworks for applying decentralized technologies in real estate finance and asset management.
