FAQs

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?
