Abstract
The world's major asset classes like real estate, commodities, fine art and others are plagued by issues of illiquidity, lack of accessibility and inefficient markets. For most investors, directly owning a piece of premium real estate, a mine or a valuable art collection is an inaccessible opportunity due to high capital requirements and cumbersome investment processes.
Omaira Protocol leverages blockchain technology to tokenize these real-world assets (RWAs) into liquid, tradable digital securities. This unlocks unprecedented levels of liquidity, fractionalization and democratized access - allowing anyone to invest in and trade ownership of assets that were previously off-limits. Omaira's global marketplace provides an open, transparent ecosystem for the issuance, investment and trading of tokenized RWAs.
Asset tokenization is the process of converting rights to an underlying real-world asset into a digital token on the blockchain. This token is a blockchain-based representation of ownership and economic interests in the asset. RWA tokens can represent fractions of real estate, minerals, agriculture, artwork and virtually any asset type.
By tokenizing assets, issuers can efficiently raise capital from a broader pool of investors globally. Investors gain exposure to an entirely new asset class with fractionalized ownership, liquidity and transparency - aspects that traditional alternatives have been lacking.
The global tokenization market is accelerating rapidly, projected to grow from $310M in 2020 to over $16B by 2030 as per industry reports. This exponential trajectory underscores the immense potential and value proposition that tokenization unlocks for RWA owners and investors alike.
However, the existing RWA tokenization landscape faces major limitations around scalability, regulatory compliance, standardization and liquidity fragmentation. Isolated tokenization platforms with regional or asset-specific offerings have hindered widespread adoption.
Omaira Protocol is a decentralized, globally accessible platform powering the complete lifecycle of RWA tokenization and trading. Its three core functions are:
Omaira's infrastructure is built as an open protocol, providing a unified global platform to compliantly tokenize virtually any type of RWA. Its tech stack combines elements of decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and traditional finance security token standards. The protocol is governed by an experienced team of promoters which would eventually be transformed into a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) managed through its native OMI utility token. Token holders can participate in governance voting for protocol upgrades, fee structures, whitelisting and more. OMAI also incentivizes network usage via fee discounts, staking rewards and other mechanisms to be outlined later. In its next phase, Omaira will launch its own Layer 2 Ethereum rollup blockchain optimized for high throughput, scalability and low-cost transactions for RWA token trading.
Omaira Protocol is a decentralized, globally accessible platform powering the complete lifecycle of RWA tokenization and trading. Its three core functions are:
Asset Due Diligence & Selection
Omaira's team conducts rigorous due diligence on potential RWA projects, validating ownership rights, legal compliance, valuation and more. Only assets meeting eligibility criteria are approved for tokenization
Security Token Issuance
An SPV (special purpose vehicle) is established as the legal entity owning the RWA. Omaira then issues ERC-20 security tokens on its protocol mapping to fractionalized ownership of the SPV's asset(s).
Primary Token Offerin
The tokenized securities are offered through Omaira's platform in SEC/FINRA compliant security token offerings open to accredited/institutional investors globally. KYC/AML is enforced
Asset Management
Post successful fundraise, Omaira's protocol handles all asset administration including governance, stakeholder communications, revenue distribution to token holders, reporting and filings as mandated.
Asset tokenization is the process of converting rights to an underlying real-world asset into a digital token on the blockchain. This token is a blockchain-based representation of ownership and economic interests in the asset. RWA tokens can represent fractions of real estate, minerals, agriculture, artwork and virtually any asset type.
Real Estate
Tokenizing agricultural, residential, commercial and industrial properties into fractional digital securities. This unlocks real estate investing at lower capital requirements while providing efficient fundraising for developers.
Granite Mining
Converting mining reserves, equipment and operations into tradable tokens allowing miners to raise capital upfront. Investors gain exposure to an asset traditionally inaccessible.
Agriculture/Farming
Tokenizing agricultural assets like farmlands, crops, equipment etc. providing much-needed financing to farmers while enabling investor diversification into this asset class
In subsequent phases, Omaira will open its protocol to tokenize additional RWAs like fine art, collectibles, intellectual property, commodity inventories and more based on market demand.
While primary token issuance unlocks the initial liquidity in an asset, Omaira powers a global secondary marketplace for continuous 24/7 trading of RWA tokens between investors worldwide. The marketplace functions as an open, decentralized exchange providing an order book for investors to freely trade RWA tokens peer-to-peer with tight spreads. Omaira will integrate with leading liquidity providers and market makers to ensure robust trading volumes. Cross-chain interoperability will allow RWA tokens issued across different blockchain protocols to be traded seamlessly on Omaira's exchange for maximum liquidity and accessibility. The marketplace generates revenue through trading fees, paid in OMAI tokens to incentivize usage. Omaira's rollup chain will enable ultra-low fee trading venues compared to current DEX models.
Omaira implements a decentralized governance model driven by its community of OMI token holders. All core governance decisions like protocol upgrades, fee changes, new asset whitelisting, revenue usage and more are proposed and voted on by token holders. A percentage of revenues from Omaira's primary issuance and trading activities are allocated to the DAO treasury, providing a sustainable pool of resources for future development and growth incentives for the community. Token holders can stake their OMI to participate in governance voting as well as earn rewards from trading fees collected. This incentivizes an active, engaged community driving the protocol's evolution
- 25% sold through public sale
- 25% retained for ecosystem incentives
- 20% retained by Omaira DAO treasury
- 15% allocated to founders/team
- 20% for Technology, marketing and partnerships
Funds raised will be used for protocol development, security audits, regulatory approvals, team growth, liquidity bootstrapping and other operational requirements.
The roadmap allows for measured growth while prioritizing security, compliance and ecosystem development at each stage. Omaira's goal is to become the world's leading RWA tokenization protocol and marketplace.
