### Real Estate Backed <a href="#d360" id="d360"></a>

Each RWA Token represents a share of a pool of US-based real estate assets. This is made possible through [tokenization](https://landshare.medium.com/tokenization-cryptos-most-compelling-use-case-cc03977b8cac), which is the process of converting real world assets (RWAs) into tokens on the blockchain. The value of each RWA Token grows proportionally with the value of underlying properties and the cash flow they produce, allowing investors to benefit by simply holding over time.

Unlike other cryptocurrencies, the RWA Token represents a legally binding share in the property holding company. This means that as an RWA holder, you are entitled to the same legal protections as an investor in a traditional company. This makes the RWA Token a simple and secure way to gain exposure to real estate directly on-chain.

### DeFi integrations <a href="#id-7bea" id="id-7bea"></a>

Our goal with the RWA Token is to leverage the unique advantages of being an on-chain asset. This includes the ability to trade instantly and automatically with decentralized exchanges (DEXes), and to leverage your investment utilizing other systems, including borrow/lend protocols. In this way, the RWA Token is designed to work like any other DeFi asset.

### Landshare NFTs <a href="#fa77" id="fa77"></a>

The existing NFT ecosystem will transition from our existing Asset Token to the new RWA Token. Landshare NFTs allow you to stake RWA Tokens and earn LAND rewards by upgrading and maintaining your virtual property. These rewards stack with what you already earn from the RWAs themselves and are a great way to boost your returns. For more information on the NFT ecosystem, see [here](https://docs.landshare.io/introduction-to-nfts/what-are-landshare-real-estate-nfts).

### Stablecoin Alternative <a href="#a7dd" id="a7dd"></a>

The Landshare RWA Token offers something for every crypto trader, even if they aren’t interested in real estate investment. Unlike USD stablecoins, the Landshare RWA Token is transparently backed 1:1 by RWAs and can grow in value over time. The asset-backed nature of RWA Tokens means they are not subject to the wild swings commonly seen in the crypto space. In this way, RWA Tokens offer an excellent [safe haven](https://landshare.medium.com/why-real-estate-backed-tokens-offer-the-best-safe-haven-for-crypto-traders-82bc77868864) for crypto investors.
