The utility for digital assets on the blockchain is expanding by the day. IQ Protocol is excited to announce this integration with a pioneering project set to disrupt one of the world’s largest asset classes, real estate.

Liquid Assets Brokerage System (LABS) is using decentralized finance and governance to create efficiencies in raising capital and creating more liquid housing markets.

LABS Group

LABS Group is a platform that onboards resorts and hotels onto the blockchain, allowing them to create and customize their own Residence Club or Timeshare programs through NFTs. These NFTs, which they call Residence Passes, are unique smart contract tokens, which represent a timeshare portion of nights and rewards. By holding on to the Residence Pass, the purchaser will receive annual rewards and perks from the resort.

LABS has two major advantages over traditional real estate businesses:

Efficient raising of capital by tokenizing properties with blockchain technology, it’s possible to raise without financial intermediaries.

Global Access using blockchain for borderless investment, which means everyone can invest in real estate projects across the world.

LABS Group x IQ Protocol

LABS will utilize IQ Protocol’s NFT renting technology in two key ways.

In the first instance, IQ Protocol will be used to help customers purchase their timeshare NFTs over a longer period, instead of a single lump sum. For instance, an initial 20% would unlock the wrapped NFT with monthly payments maintaining its possession until the full amount is paid.

Secondly, each NFT will represent a certain number of days per year the holder can use a property. The holder will be able to rent out days of their timeshare to other users peer to peer.

Introducing blockchain technology to the real estate business is a hugely exciting prospect with huge potential. We’re very excited to start work with LABS Group on this journey.
