Nadine Loepfe, a Developer Advocate at Hedera, has authored two insightful articles exploring the intersection of real estate and Web3 technologies:
"How Would We Build a REIT Today Using Web3 Technologies?" This article delves into the potential of constructing a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) utilizing Web3 technologies, highlighting the benefits of tokenization in making real estate investments more accessible, efficient, and transparent.
"How Is Tokenization Changing The Way We Invest?" In this piece, Nadine examines how tokenization is revolutionizing investment strategies by bridging real-world assets with the digital economy, focusing on the roles of NFTs and fungible tokens in this transformation.
This proposal introduces a system contract to enable smart contracts to interact with scheduled transactions, facilitating asynchronous coordination of transaction approvals.
This HIP extends the existing Scheduled Transaction implementation to support executing transactions at arbitrary future times and allows more transaction types to be scheduled.
This HIP proposes modifications to the Hedera Consensus Service to enable setting the autoRenewAccountId during topic creation, even without an Admin Key.
This HIP allows a user to create, update and get info for token metadata and the metadata key for Fungible Tokens (FT) and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFT) from a smart contract.
HIP 1126 aims to allow the removal of token allowances without requiring the token to be associated with the account, simplifying the process for users.
