Hello everyone, and welcome to our latest update! In the last few months, the Landshare team has been focused on all of the items outlined in our Q1-Q2 2024 Roadmap. Now that we are well into Q2, we know our community is starting to wonder what’s next for Landshare. While we have some amazing updates slated for the next 2 months, we’d like to share a preview of our planned updates for the rest of the year!

Before we jump into our plans for Q3-Q4 2024, let’s recap the major deliverables still to come in Q2:

  • DS Swap Listing (Est. April): Trade LSRWA Tokens against LAND or stablecoin pairs on an open secondary market.
  • LSRWA-USD LP Staking (Est. May): Earn LAND rewards for providing LP in the new DS Swap pool.
  • Crosschain (Q2): With Chainlink CCIP integration, the LAND Token as well as LAND staking will soon be available on Arbitrum and Polygon networks.
  • Additional CEX Listing (Q2): We expect at least 1 additional listing during Q2, with more to come throughout the year.

With all of our Q2 items on track for timely delivery, it’s time to take a sneak peek at what we’re cooking up behind the scenes. Keep in mind, that this list is not all-inclusive and only covers a few major updates we have planned. Things are subject to change, and a comprehensive roadmap will be released at the appropriate time.

Without further ado, let’s dive in!

3rd Party Tokenization

Since the inception of Landshare, we’ve been laser-focused on making real estate investment more accessible to everyone. After 2 years of learning, building, and tinkering, we’ve realized this goal through the Landshare RWA Token. Thanks to our flagship product, anyone can start earning passive income from RWAs for just over $1.

However, prospective investors are not the only beneficiaries of the tokenization process. Property owners, including individuals, funds, corporations, and investment clubs, can also leverage tokenization to their advantage. And the best part is, these two groups — investors and property owners — can achieve a mutually beneficial relationship through tokenization.

With that in mind, and with a solid base of RWA investors already in place, our next major goal will be to provide property owners the ability to tokenize their assets on the Landshare platform. This means property owners will have a new way to raise funds and borrow against their assets in a manner that also benefits our existing LSRWA investors.

Benefits of Tokenization for Property Owners

We’ve made clear the benefits of tokenization for prospective real estate investors, but what about property owners? While tokenization can be a way to simply sell off properties like a marketplace, the real power of tokenization comes in the form of liquidity and fractionalization.

There are plenty of potential options with this new feature. Here are just a few of them:

  • Partial equity: Property owners can sell a portion of their property, freeing up capital and providing LSRWA partial exposure to property equity and cash flow. These arrangements may or may not involve a buyback plan for the owner. This is an excellent alternative to a HELOC.
  • Cash flow: This arrangement would allow property owners to borrow against their future cash flow. This arrangement would not involve any equity transfer, allowing property owners to retain their exposure to the property while receiving cash upfront.
  • House Flips: Landshare would provide funds to house flippers and take a profit off the flip.

The premise is simple but powerful: provide property owners the ability to tokenize their assets on Landshare in a way that fits their needs. This new feature can be viewed as a way of bringing property owners and LSRWA investors together in a mutually beneficial way.

What does this feature mean for LSRWA Holders?

  • More properties on the Landshare platform
  • New types of properties, including short-term rentals, multi-unit, mixed-use, commercial, vacation, etc.
  • Properties inside and outside of the US
  • New mintable NFTs

This feature is crucial to scaling our property offerings and attracting a new type of user to the Landshare platform — property owners. We expect this feature to be a major focal point of our 2nd half roadmap and will have a lot more to share in the future. Stay tuned!

Landshare Lending Protocol

A feature that harkens back to the early days of Landshare, we’ve always envisioned the ability to borrow stablecoins against tokenized real estate. As a key DeFi primitive, borrow/lend capabilities remain a crucial component of our vision for on-chain real estate.

Although we haven’t discussed Lending Protocols much in the last year, we certainly haven’t forgotten about them. We plan to launch a brand new borrow/lend pool for LSRWA in the near future! Alongside our DEX listings, this integration will solidify LSRWA as the most flexible and DeFi-compatible real estate backed asset on the blockchain.

On lending protocols, borrowers provide crypto assets as collateral. In this case, LSRWA will be the primary form of collateral. After providing LSRWA with the protocol, they will be able to borrow stablecoins. Loans will be over-collateralized, meaning the borrower can only borrow stablecoins up to a certain percentage of their LSRWA value.

There are many potential benefits for LSRWA holders, including unlocking liquidity against large holdings, taking on leveraged positions, boosting NFT ecosystem rewards, arbitrage trading, and much more. In summary, this integration will allow you to:

  • Borrow stablecoins against LSRWA
  • Leverage your LSRWA holdings
  • Earn consistent APY as a stablecoin lender

Additional Updates

While 3rd Party Tokenization and Lending Protocol will be two of our primary focuses for the 2nd half of the year, we’ve got a lot more planned. Here are a few of the things we have on the agenda:

  • CEX Listings: Thanks to our Landshare DAO Listing Fund, we expect to continue listing on exchanges throughout the year. At least one listing is expected for Q2, and more will come later as time goes on.
  • New NFTs: New properties mean new NFTs! We enable NFT minting for any new properties that enter the Landshare RWA Pool through 3rd Party Tokenization or other means. Each new type of NFT allows for a higher yield multiplier.
  • LSRWA Governance: As part of an overall theme to expand our real estate features, we are developing a separate governance system exclusive to LSRWA holders to handle property-related matters.
  • Crosschain expansion: Our multi-chain functionality will initially be limited to staking and cross-chain transfers. Throughout the year, we intend to expand upon this, including through partnerships on other networks and new chains in addition to Polygon and Arbitrum.
  • LSRWA Card Payment: While we’ve already delivered LAND card payment options in Q1, it is not yet available for LSRWA. We expect to enable this functionality later this year.
  • New KYC Options: There are several on-chain identity verification solutions, commonly referred to as soulbound tokens. We plan on adding the ability to whitelist for LSRWA for those who already have them, rather than requiring users to complete another round of KYC on our dashboard.

Closing Thoughts

We’ve made significant progress in the last few months, diligently working through our Q1-Q2 2024 Roadmap. With the DS Swap Listing, LSRWA-USD LP Staking, Crosschain integration, and an additional CEX listing all on track for timely delivery, we’re poised to close out the first half of the year strong. The year's second half will have an even greater impact, welcoming an entirely new audience to the Landshare platform.

Remember, this preview is just a taste of what’s to come, and our roadmap will evolve over time. Stay tuned for continued updates on these items and much more!
