The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
What is a Real Estate Web3 Platform?
Transforming brick-and-mortar assets into tradable digital tokens.
A real estate Web3 platform uses blockchain technology to fractionalize property ownership. Instead of buying an entire building, investors purchase tokens that represent a share of the asset. This model, often called Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, solves major industry problems: high entry costs, illiquidity, and complex paperwork.
For creators, it opens a new funding model. You can tokenize a single property, a portfolio, or a development fund. Each token trade on the secondary market generates revenue for the platform creator. Compared to traditional real estate syndication, Web3 platforms can onboard global investors 24/7 with automated compliance via Token-2022 programmable tokens.
Example: A $5M commercial building is tokenized into 5 million tokens at $1 each. 1,000 investors globally can buy shares. The platform creator earns fees on the initial sale and on all subsequent trading activity.
Why Launch a Real Estate Platform on Solana?
For a real estate trading platform, transaction cost and speed are critical. Solana provides the necessary infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of other chains.
Our Verdict: Solana is the optimal blockchain for building a real estate Web3 platform today. The network's sub-$0.01 transaction fees and 400ms block times mean investors can trade property tokens without worrying about gas fees eroding their returns. This is impossible on Ethereum for small trades, where a $50 transfer could cost $15 in gas.
Furthermore, Solana's high throughput supports thousands of simultaneous investors during a token launch or property dividend distribution. When you graduate your token from a launchpad to its own liquidity pool, the 1% fee perpetual model via Token-2022 is enforceable on-chain, ensuring your platform's long-term revenue.
- Cost: Solana fees are $0.00025 per transaction vs. Ethereum's $1-50.
- Speed: Trades finalize in under 2 seconds vs. minutes on other chains.
- Scale: Handles over 2,000 transactions per second, supporting mass adoption.
Spawned vs. Traditional Real Estate Tokenization
A side-by-side look at the old way versus the new, efficient path.
Building a real estate Web3 platform has traditionally required significant technical and financial resources. Spawned changes this by providing a complete launchpad and site builder in one tool.
| Feature | Traditional Approach | Using Spawned |
|---|---|---|
| Platform Website | Hire devs ($5k-$20k) or use Webflow ($29-99/month) | AI website builder included (Save $348-$1,188/year) |
| Token Launch | Custom smart contract audit ($10k-$50k) | Pre-audited, secure launch for 0.1 SOL (~$20) |
| Creator Revenue | Build custom fee logic | 0.30% fee on every trade automatically enforced |
| Holder Incentives | Complex reward distribution system | 0.30% rewards to holders built into the tokenomics |
| Ongoing Fees | Manual collection and enforcement | 1% fee post-graduation via Token-2022, automatic |
The key advantage is the integrated monetization. From day one, every secondary market transaction feeds the platform's treasury and rewards its community, something you'd need months of development to replicate otherwise.
How to Launch Your Real Estate Token in 5 Steps
A straightforward path from concept to a live, trading tokenized asset.
Follow this process to tokenize a property and launch your platform on Spawned.
- Define Your Asset & Structure: Choose the property (e.g., Miami rental condo, Austin warehouse). Determine total value, number of tokens, and price per token. Plan any revenue distribution (e.g., rental income paid as SOL dividends).
- Create Your Platform Site: Use the Spawned AI website builder. Input details like "Real estate investment platform for tokenizing Miami luxury condos." The AI generates pages explaining the asset, investment thesis, and tokenomics.
- Configure Your Token: On Spawned, set your token's name (e.g.,
MIAMI-CONDO-1), symbol, and supply. Enable the 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward features. This is your core economic model. - Launch & Distribute: Pay the 0.1 SOL launch fee. Your token goes live with initial liquidity. Share your platform website and token contract address with potential investors to start the sale.
- Manage & Grow: Use the platform site to announce milestones (e.g., "Lease signed!"). As trading volume grows, your 0.30% fee builds a treasury. Plan your graduation to independent liquidity to activate the perpetual 1% fee model.

Platform Revenue Streams and Holder Benefits
A sustainable Web3 platform needs clear value for both the creator and the token holders. Here’s how the economics work on Spawned.
- Creator Revenue (0.30% per trade): This is your platform's core income. If your property token reaches $100,000 in daily trading volume, you earn 0.30% of that, or $300 per day, directly to your treasury. This funds operations, marketing, and property acquisitions.
- Holder Rewards (0.30% per trade): This is a major incentive for investors to hold long-term. The same 0.30% from every buy and sell is distributed proportionally to all token holders. It acts like a continuous dividend from market activity, on top of any underlying property income.
- Post-Graduation Fee (1% perpetual): Once your token matures and you move liquidity from Spawned to a permanent pool, a 1% fee on all transactions is permanently enabled via Token-2022. This ensures lifetime platform revenue.
- Zero Platform Monthly Fees: The integrated AI website builder eliminates the $29-99/month cost of services like Webflow or Squarespace, keeping more profit in your pocket.
Real-World Use Cases and Token Models
Concrete models you can adapt and launch.
Real estate tokenization isn't theoretical. Here are specific models you can implement:
1. The Single-Asset REIT: Tokenize one income-producing property, like a 20-unit apartment building. Token holders receive a share of the monthly rental income, distributed in SOL. The tokens themselves can be traded, allowing investors to exit before a traditional sale.
2. The Development Fund: Raise capital for a new construction project by selling tokens. Funds are held in a transparent, on-chain treasury. Tokens appreciate as development milestones are hit, and upon project completion and sale, profits are distributed.
3. The Luxury Fractionalization Platform: Focus on high-value assets like beachfront villas or ski chalets. Tokenize ownership for 1/10th of the cost, with smart contracts managing usage rights (e.g., 4 weeks per year per token).
The technical foundation is similar to launching other utility tokens. You can review the structure for creating a gaming token on Solana as a reference for tokenomics and distribution planning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tokenization itself is a technological process and is legal. However, the offering of tokens is subject to securities regulations in most jurisdictions (like the SEC in the US). It is crucial to consult with legal counsel familiar with securities and blockchain law to structure your offering correctly. Using programmable tokens like Solana's Token-2022 can help embed compliance rules, such as restricting sales to accredited investors, directly into the token.
Direct legal ownership of the physical asset is typically held by a special purpose vehicle (SPV) or LLC. The tokens represent a beneficial economic interest in that entity. Smart contracts can automate the distribution of profits (like rent) to token holders. The legal structure linking the tokens to the asset's ownership is the most critical part and must be established with legal professionals before launch.
Platforms like RealT or Lofty are centralized companies that tokenize properties they source. This guide is for creators who want to *build their own* platform or tokenize their own assets. Instead of using their closed system, you use Spawned to create your own branded token and website, keeping control of the asset selection, investor relations, and the majority of the fee revenue.
The reward mechanism is built into the token's smart contract on Solana. On every transaction (buy or sell), 0.30% of the trade value is automatically converted to SOL and distributed proportionally to all current token holders. This happens in real-time, on-chain, without any manual intervention required from you as the creator.
Yes, the Solana blockchain is global. You can tokenize real estate located anywhere in the world. The primary consideration is complying with the securities and financial regulations of the country where the property is located *and* the countries where you plan to offer the tokens to investors. Legal jurisdiction is based on geography and investor residency, not the blockchain's location.
Graduation means moving your token's liquidity from the initial launchpad pool to a permanent, dedicated liquidity pool (e.g., on Raydium or Orca). When you do this through Spawned, a 1% transaction fee is permanently enabled via the Token-2022 program. This 1% fee is in addition to any existing LP fees and flows directly to a wallet you control, providing sustainable, long-term platform revenue.
The launch fee on Spawned is 0.1 SOL (approximately $15-$20). This covers the token deployment, initial liquidity pool creation, and access to the AI website builder. The only other direct cost is the SOL required to fund the initial liquidity pool for your token, which you set and control. This compares to tens of thousands of dollars for custom smart contract development and auditing.
