What is Direct Property Africa Token and DPAT?
Direct Property Africa is a Web3 real estate and infrastructure ecosystem including a crowdsourcing marketplace for local developers to raise funding for projects in major African cities like Cape Town, Lagos and Accra with fractional ownership using asset-backed equity NFTs, the same way you would buy stock and receive a share in a company or REIT. DPAT is the utility token of the Direct Property Africa ecosystem offering rewards and privileges to holders. 
What Is Fractional ownership?
Fractional ownership is when several unrelated parties own a percentage in a tangible asset like a yacht or real estate, thus mitigating the risk that comes with full ownership.
Why African cities?
