Show HN: Tokenization of Real Estate on Blockchain

Hi HN! We’ve been building RealDeed, a system that represents real-estate ownership information as blockchain-based digital twins.

This is created under a DIFC Innovation Licence (DLT Technology Category). It does not offer financial services, trading, fractional sales, or fundraising. Its sole purpose is to demonstrate structured property data mapping into non-custodial digital assets.

What RealDeed does (in one line)

RealDeed converts key property information from title deeds and registry documents into non-custodial on-chain digital twins on the XRP Ledger and BNB ERC-20.

Why we built this

Real-estate data today lives inside:

PDFs, scans, and images

Fragmented registry systems

Offline exchanges between owners, brokers, and lawyers

This makes it difficult to:

Verify or share structured property information

Build automated workflows that depend on property-level attributes

Integrate property data with modern software, CRMs, or compliance tools

Property is valuable — but digitally, it behaves like a static file. There is no programmable or interoperable representation of property information.

Our approach

RealDeed focuses on data integrity and interoperability, not investment or trading.

It works by:

Ingesting property metadata (parcel ID, area, coordinates, ownership info, etc.)

Normalising it into a structured schema

Minting a digital twin token on:

XRP Ledger

BNB Smart Chain (ERC-20 standard)

Linking the token to hashed off-chain documents

Allowing owners or developers to view and verify mappings through a clean interface

Digital twins can reflect:

land area / square meters

possession or occupancy status

a registered security or hypothecation interest

owner-declared metadata

Tokens stay fully non-custodial in the user’s wallet; RealDeed does not hold or manage them.

What RealDeed is NOT

To avoid confusion:

Not a token sale Not fractional ownership Not an investment scheme Not a marketplace

RealDeed is strictly focused on data mapping, digital twin representation, and interoperability workflows.

Try it

Users can:

Enter property metadata

Generate a digital twin on XRP or BNB testnet

View the data-to-token mapping

Download a digital twin certificate for verification

    Why not use Hedera/Hbar? Lot more trustworthy IMHO and they have developer studios to make things easy and compliant. Probably a lot cheaper too.
