Upcoming Features

A note on the DEX and the Property Launchpad

As Subunit grows, it aims to streamline the process of offering new properties to the community and to provide liquidity for the tokens that investors hold. Two key upcoming features addressing these needs are the property Launchpad and the decentralized exchange (DEX) trading functionality for tokens.

Property Launchpad

Subunit is developing a dedicated Launchpad platform for new property offerings. This will serve as a curated marketplace where each new real estate investment opportunity is presented to the community in a transparent and standardized way.

When a new property deal is sourced and vetted, it will be listed on the Launchpad with details such as property description, financial projections (rental yield, expenses, etc.), the funding target (how much USDC is needed to purchase it), and the timeframe for the raise.

Crypto-native users will find this similar to how token launchpads work for new token offerings, but here the “project” is a physical property. Members of the Subunit investment club can then directly purchase UNIT tokens through the Launchpad interface.

DEX Trading for UNIT Tokens

A cornerstone of Subunit’s value proposition is liquidity – the ability to buy or sell your real estate exposure at will, rather than being locked in for years as in traditional real estate. To achieve this, Subunit is building out a decentralized exchange (DEX) functionality focused on providing liquidity for UNIT tokens (the property tokens).

Once a property’s tokens are distributed to investors, those investors may wish to trade them: some might want to increase their stake, others might want to trim or exit their position to rebalance their portfolio or access cash. The planned DEX will allow peer-to-peer trading of these tokens directly on-chain.
