Introduction
The year 2025 was an important step forward for Estate Protocol and for real estate on Arbitrum.
Throughout the year, the focus stayed on fundamentals. Sourcing quality properties. Structuring them correctly. Tokenizing them in a compliant way. And making sure investors received their income on time.
By the end of 2025, Estate Protocol had brought 27 luxury properties onchain. Nine of these were added during the year, including six revenue generating short term rentals in the United States. The platform also crossed 12.38 million dollars in total tokenized value.
Most importantly, rent was paid to investors every month across all listed properties. This confirmed that tokenized ownership can support the same steady cash flows that people expect from traditional real estate, while giving them a simpler and more transparent way to access it.
This recap looks back at what was built in 2025 and how it strengthened the position of real estate on Arbitrum as a serious asset class for long term investors.
Property listings
In 2025, Estate Protocol expanded its portfolio in a measured and deliberate way.
Over the course of the year, nine new properties were added in the United States. Six of these were short term rentals that generate income through platforms such as Airbnb. Each new listing was reviewed for quality of location, income profile, and operating history before being brought onchain.
By year end, Estate Protocol had tokenized a total of 27 luxury properties. Every property was fully structured with the appropriate legal entities, service agreements, and compliance checks in place. Only after this process was complete was the asset made available for fractional ownership onchain.
This approach ensured that real estate on Arbitrum was built on a clear foundation. Real assets. Defined rights. Documented structures. And an ownership model that allows many investors to hold a share of a single property without changing the underlying quality of the asset itself.
Rent distribution
For investors, the most important test of any real estate platform is whether income arrives on time. In 2025, Estate Protocol met that standard across all listed properties.
Rent distributions were processed every month over the last twelve months without interruption. Each payout reflected actual rental income received from tenants and was passed through to token holders in USDC based on their ownership share.
This required more than just smart contracts. It depended on reliable upstream operations. Leases had to be maintained. Property management had to function smoothly. Accounting and cash flow tracking had to be accurate. Only then could the onchain layer deliver predictable returns.
The result for investors was straightforward. Holdings in tokenized properties on Arbitrum produced a steady stream of income with clear visibility into when and how payments were made. This consistency is what gives real estate on Arbitrum credibility as a long term allocation, rather than a short term experiment.
Total tokenized value
During the year, Estate Protocol reached $12.37 million in total tokenized real estate brought onchain on Arbitrum. This figure reflects the combined value of all properties that are now operating onchain through the Arbitrum network.
Each dollar in this number is linked to a specific property with real tenants, signed agreements, and active revenue streams. The assets are not theoretical or future planned. They are live, earning income, and held through verifiable ownership onchain.
This level of scale matters for two reasons. It shows that real estate on Arbitrum can support meaningful capital, not just pilot size allocations. It also confirms that the underlying legal and operational structures can handle more properties and more investors without losing clarity or control.
As the platform grows, this base of tokenized value becomes a foundation. New properties can be added into a system that is already tested. New investors can join an ecosystem where income and ownership records are not only promised but already proven in practice.
Accessibility
Over the year, Estate Protocol also worked on reducing the effort required to invest. Good assets are only useful if people can reach them easily.
Through the integration with Bungee Exchange, users can now see balances across supported chains in one interface and move value into USDC without handling separate bridges or multiple applications. From there, they can allocate directly into real estate on Arbitrum.
This change matters most for users who already hold assets in different parts of the ecosystem. Instead of leaving capital idle or avoiding new allocations due to friction, they can now convert into USDC and invest in a few straightforward steps.
The goal was not to add more features for the sake of complexity. The goal was to remove the small points of friction that stopped people from taking action, while keeping the underlying process of property selection and structuring as rigorous as before.
Growth
Estate Protocol did not grow only in terms of properties and capital. The wider ecosystem also took notice.
During the year, the project received a retroactive grant from Arbitrum. This support was given in recognition of the work done to bring real world assets onchain and to create real economic activity, not just transactional volume.
The grant signaled two important things. First, that real estate on Arbitrum is viewed as a meaningful category within the network. Second, that consistent delivery of tokenized properties, rent flows, and users is valued as a long term contribution, not a short term experiment.
The decision to build exclusively on Arbitrum has been intentional. It allows Estate Protocol to focus on one environment, deepen integrations, and give investors a clear view of where and how their assets are managed onchain.
Support
As activity on the platform increased, the need for clear and reliable support became more important. Real estate is not a simple click through product and most investors want the option to speak to someone when needed.
To address this, we launched Concierge, a dedicated support layer available at all times. The purpose of Concierge is straightforward. Help users understand the properties they are considering, the structures behind them, and the mechanics of income and ownership onchain.
This service is not limited to troubleshooting. It is designed to give investors confidence that there is a team behind the interface, ready to explain how real estate on Arbitrum works in practice. That includes questions on yield, legal entities, risk, or how different properties fit into a broader portfolio.
The combination of self-serve infrastructure with human support reflects the nature of the asset class. Real estate is serious capital. It requires both robust systems and accessible explanations.
Looking forward
The past year showed that tokenized real estate can function at scale when the focus is on fundamentals. High quality assets. Clear structures. Consistent operations.
The work in 2026 builds on that base. Estate Protocol plans to expand investor rewards, improve secondary market liquidity for property tokens, and continue to add new luxury properties that fit the same standards applied so far. All of this remains centered on one environment, real estate on Arbitrum.
The priorities do not change. Investors should have access to assets that are carefully structured, produce reliable income, and are easy to hold onchain. The intention is to grow without compromising those principles.
Thank you to everyone who invested, reviewed documents, asked detailed questions, and stayed patient while the platform matured. If you believe real estate belongs onchain, that transition is already underway.
