🧑‍💻Getting Started with Stack Digital Assets Real World Token Platform

1. Breaking Down Ownership

Imagine you own a building worth $1 million. Instead of selling the entire building to one buyer, you could divide it into smaller pieces of ownership—like cutting a pie into slices. Each slice represents a small part of the building's value, for example, $1,000.

2. Creating Digital Tokens

Now, instead of handing out paper certificates to represent these slices, you create digital tokens on a blockchain. Each token is like a digital proof that someone owns a small piece of the building.

3. How It Works in Practice

• These tokens can be bought, sold, or traded, just like stocks.

• If the building generates income, like rent, the token holders might earn a share of that income based on how many tokens they own.

4. Why Use a Blockchain?

• Transparency: Everyone can see who owns which tokens, and all transactions are recorded publicly.

• Security: The blockchain ensures that ownership records can’t be tampered with.

• Efficiency: Tokenized assets can be bought or sold instantly without middlemen like banks or brokers.

5. Benefits of Tokenization

• Access for More People: Instead of needing $1 million to buy the whole building, someone could invest as little as $1,000 by buying a token.

• Global Reach: Tokens can be bought and sold by people anywhere in the world.

• Fractional Ownership: You don’t have to buy the whole thing—just the amount you can afford.

6. Example in Real Estate

Let’s say a company tokenizes a skyscraper. They issue 10,000 tokens, each worth $100. By buying a token, you become a partial owner of the skyscraper. If the building’s value goes up or earns rental income, your token’s value might increase, and you might get a share of the profits.
