Last Thursday, while preparing this week’s content for my course on web3 real estate investing, I felt overwhelmed.
The plan was to provide a high level overview of the major companies, DAO and nonprofits who are leading the nascent industry that real world assets tokenization.
Back in January, when I decided to start REI DAO, I could count these projects on one hand. As 2022 moved ahead I occasionally came across a new one and added it to my bookmarks and joined the Discord if one was available.
About three months ago, the pace picked up from “occasional” to at least one new project per week.
As part of my preparation last week, I started organizing the list for the presentation, and I realized I needed something more than a simple doc with bullet points. I created a Notion database, realized how many projects there were, and decided to add logos and screenshots so I could recognize each project at a glance. I added links to web sites, Twitter and LinkedIn profiles, and Discord servers where available.
Somewhere along the way I thought, “I bet there are other people out there who could use this list” so I decided to launch this as a database. I registered the domain RealWeb3db.com and voila!
There are currently 44 projects listed and I expect it to grow rapidly.
In addition to the list, I also will send a weekly email of news from these various projects. Look for your first one on Friday morning.
This is very much a work in progress. If you or someone you know has a project that fits in the category broadly described as “real world assets on the blockchain”, please let me know about it by filling out this short form. I will follow up with you directly to get more information.
