INTRODUCTION
Metropoly’s Marketplace will disrupt and revolutionize the
real estate market and make it possible for anyone to
fractionally buy, sell, and invest in real estate assets
such as apartments, single and multi-family houses,
penthouses, and villas in popular cities and desirable
areas across the globe in a completely decentralized way.
Auction a Real Estate NFT and get the best possible offer for your property
Borrow against RENs instantly at competitive interest rates and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.
Transfer the ownership and move in: Metropoly also offers users who acquire 100% of the
Real Estate NFT shares the option of burning their NFT and transferring ownership.
Metropoly will support the owner and help with all the necessary steps and documents.*
Decision Rights: If the majority owner of a Real Estate NFT decides to sell the property, we
will list the property on the public market and distribute the funds equally to each REN
owner after selling the property.
*In order to transfer the ownership of a property, the respective country’s laws must be respected. Most of the time, this includes immigration, visa,
registration in the land register, notary appointments, and taxes. Depending on different factors, this process can take up to three months or longer.

THE STATE OF THE INTERNATIONAL
REAL ESTATE MARKETS
The real estate industry is booming, yet according to CBS News, 61% of Americans cannot
afford to buy a house. This is due to increasing house prices, rising mortgage rates & a
dwindling supply of houses available for purchase.
House prices have climbed $75,000 USD since the summer of 2020 in the US. 36.2% of
Americans live in rented houses, and the number of renters in the US grew two times faster
than in the EU. Many renters are forced to lease a house rather than purchase one because of
factors such as rising housing costs, economic recessions and demographic changes
around the world.
In Europe, the numbers are similar to the US. According to statistics by Eurostat,
approximately 43.5% of the EU population lived in an owner-occupied dwelling without a
housing loan or mortgage in 2020. This means over 50% of EU citizens either carry a
mortgage loan on their house or can’t afford to buy a house at all. 30% of EU citizens live in
rented houses.
While these numbers are significant, the fact that over a billion people worldwide can’t
afford to buy a house is staggering.

THE PROBLEMS WITH
REAL ESTATE
Real estate can be a profitable investment, but it comes with its
own list of hassles, such as:

WHY METROPOLY?
With Metropoly we are building the first NFT marketplace to invest in income-
generating properties. Each NFT in the Metropoly Marketplace is backed by real-world
properties and is divided into fractions, allowing anyone to invest in real estate for as
little as $100 USD.
No Paperwork
No Mortgage Lender

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT RE-IMAGINED

WHAT IS
METROPOLY?
Metropoly is a platform that combines real estate with blockchain technology.
Metropoly aims to empower retail investors with an easy and hassle-free way to
invest fractionally in real estate worldwide using crypto, with a low barrier to
entry. Their vision is to make real estate investing accessible to everyone
worldwide regardless of their origin, country or credit score with no hidden fees,
paperwork or banks.
The simple and intuitive Metropoly platform offers the average person the ability
to invest in income-generating properties around the world starting with as little
as $100 USD. Metropoly explains that each property will be hand-selected by
experienced Realtors working within the company. Properties will either be long-
term rental homes or short-term holiday homes. Investors can read property
inspection reports before choosing which opportunity to invest in.
Metropoly will revolutionize the real estate market by giving retail investors a
simple platform to build truly passive income and long-term value appreciation.

WHY INVEST IN
REAL ESTATE NFTS?
We enable users to access real estate just like the world’s top 1% do through a low barrier to
entry. This is achieved using the decentralized technology of NFTs and the help of our specialized
team to ensure only the best opportunities are listed on the Metropoly platform.
Our team is constantly working towards improving the overall experience and updating all the
users on the latest trends. Have a look at some of our valuable features:
Metropoly has one of the lowest entry points worldwide for real estate investment ($100 USD)
Users can track the performance of their Real Estate NFT using our interactive dashboard
Users can diversify their investments across multiple properties to reduce risk
Property can be bought in just seconds and the process is entirely digital and hassle-free
10
HOW DO REAL ESTATE NFTS
WORK?
Each Real Estate NFT is fractionalized and backed by real physical
properties. All real estate is inspected beforehand and is owned by the
Metropoly Trust or a trusted and vetted partner company. We aim for
100% transparency, all the contracts are public (in the QR code of each
REN) and are listed on the Metropoly Marketplace.
The NFT is broken down into fractions, allowing anyone to own real estate
assets for as little as $100. Users can trade their fractions 24/7 on the
Metropoly Marketplace or an Ethereum blockchain-based third-party NFT
marketplace such as Opensea.

HOW DOES THE USER PROFIT?
Metropoly acquires and manages real estate properties while focusing on near-term income generation and long-term value creation. Buying and
investing in the real estate market has never been easier.

HOW DOES THE USER PROFIT? (CONTINUED)
PROTECTION Real estate investments are considered inflation-hedged investments. This is because when the prices of goods and services rise, home
AGAINST values and rents typically increase. Investment properties can provide you with rising monthly income and appreciation to help protect
INFLATION you financially when the costs of everything else are going up, too.
If the real estate you own increases in value over time, you can sell it for a solid profit. Remember, though: Appreciation isn’t guaranteed.
GREAT RETURNS You’ll need to invest in the right property to see those significant returns.
LONG TERM Real estate is a long-term investment, meaning you can hold it for several years as you wait for it to appreciate. At the same time, you can
SECURITY earn monthly income while you wait for your property’s value to rise.

METROPOLY ECOSYSTEM
The Metropoly ecosystem is based on four main pillars:
Mortgage
Launchpad
Platform
Marketplace Voting Rights
14
METROPOLY MARKETPLACE
The Metropoly Marketplace platform has been built on the Ethereum blockchain to combine the best of real estate investment and the
decentralized culture.
Owners can trade fractional Real Estate NFTs like trading shares in the stock market. In addition, the decentralized platform enables users to
borrow against their holdings and store the NFTs on their Metropoly Wallet or any third-party ERC-20 compatible wallet.
Users can diversify their portfolios by purchasing fractions of different Real Estate NFTs instead of allocating 100% of their capital to a single
property. Trade asset-backed real estate like a professional trader within a highly liquid marketplace.
Our goal is to offer a variety of Real Estate NFTs such as apartments, single and multi-family houses, penthouses, and villas from different
countries around the world.
Metropoly Marketplace enables users on the NFT marketplace to list, buy, and sell their NFTs without hassle. These features will pave the way
for providing a positive experience for buyers and sellers on the platform.
Real Estate NFTs are based on the Ethereum Blockchain, and any REN can be offered for sale on the Metropoly Marketplace or a third-party
exchange such as Opensea. With the sale of the REN, all owner rights expire.
15
METROPOLY MARKETPLACE (CONTINUED)
Emergency Sale: The user has the option to sell their property through an “emergency sale” for 70% of the current market value (not the price on the Metropoly Marketplace)
to Metropoly Ltd., which will automatically list the REN for an auction starting at 75% of the current market value. Then, 25% of the profits made, after deducting the purchase
price, will be donated to a homeless organization. We reserve the right to change this concept at any time or remove this option entirely.
Auction: Users can also list their REN for auction by themselves to receive bids for their REN. Through an auction, buyers can obtain RENs for a lower price.
The liquidity of NFTs, enhanced by real-world assets, facilitates the possibility of low-interest borrowing using RENs as collateral. This function will be included in the second
version of the marketplace.
Collectors who own an REN can borrow against their NFT in three simple steps:
*If the debt cannot be paid, Metropoly as an intermediary will auction it off and give the entire debt +5% to the lender, and the rest goes back to the former owner of the REN.
The Metropoly Marketplace offers unprecedented and never seen access to potential liquidity in the real estate market and matches buyers and sellers of Real Estate NFTs. In
addition, this revolutionary exchange offers attractive opportunities to users to buy and sell RENs in just minutes without having to wait for months or years.
16
REAL ESTATE NFT LAUNCHPAD
• Early Access for Metropoly Platinum Members
• Get access to new Real Estate NFT mints
• 5% Lower than the listing price
The Real Estate NFT Launchpad is probably one of the most exciting features. Users will have the
opportunity to invest in new real estate NFTs for a lower price before it hits the secondary market.
The property is offered 5% below the secondary market listing price.
All properties listed on Launchpad must pass a strict selection process to provide our users with
the best opportunity to earn both rental yield and capital appreciation. In addition, we leverage
data from leading third-party vendors to ensure that all our internal research and analysis tools
are accurate and reliable in current market conditions.
Each Real Estate NFT must be 100% funded and buyers must receive their shares, including the
first dividend payments (date mentioned on the listing page) before it lands on the secondary
market. The funds are in custody (smart contract) until an NFT property is fully paid off and funds
are returned to the buyers if an NFT cannot be fully financed during the specified mint time.
17
MORTGAGE PLATFORM
Our mortgage platform enables users to borrow and supply liquidity while retaining full real estate NFT
ownership. It is completely decentralized without banks and hidden fees.
18
VOTING RIGHTS
Each Real Estate NFT owner has a voting right proportional to their number of fractions and can propose
to sell the property in the real world, increase rents, and more.
19
REAL ESTATE NFTS
Each Real Estate NFT we mint is fractionalized and 100% backed by an actual physical income-generating property. All real estate has been
inspected beforehand and is owned by Metropoly Ltd. or a trusted and vetted partner company. Owners of the REN will get a promissory note
from the issuing company stating the value of the real estate tied to the NFT and will benefit from all the advantages of a real estate investor.
The purchase of an NFT contractually establishes Metropoly Ltd. or a partner company as the trustee and legal owner of the property, who will
maintain the property on behalf of the NFT owners. All real estate purchases and transactions comply with the laws and requirements in the
respective jurisdiction.
INVESTORS WILL NOT OWN THE PROPERTY, and the owner remains the Metropoly Ltd. or a partner company unless a user buys all fractions of
a REN and decides to burn the NFT and transfer ownership. Metropoly will provide professional assistance in the transfer of the property.
In order to transfer the ownership of a property, the respective country’s laws must be abided by. Most of the time, this includes immigration,
visa, registration in the land register, notary appointments, and taxes. This process can take up to three months or longer depending on
different factors. Therefore, before contacting our support team to transfer the ownership, please ensure you are eligible to own the property
in the designated country.
20
REAL ESTATE NFTS (CONTINUED)
We can’t transfer a property’s physical ownership for each transaction unless a user has bought all fractions and wishes to transfer the
ownership. Because this would exclude many people, it would not be possible to build a global decentralized Real Estate NFT marketplace
backed by physical properties. With our solution, we can ensure that everyone gets the value of the real estate and can sell their shares without
any problems at any given moment.
Transferring the ownership for each property and opening an LLC to share the property (similar to crowdfunding real estate companies) would
take time to set up. This process, which includes KYC, would also make the Metropoly Marketplace illiquid because every real estate transaction
is linked to a regulatory process, and it can take up to several weeks depending on the respective country.
Each REN comes with a QR Code redirecting to a Deal Sheet to provide digital authenticity. This sheet includes all the background information
and contracts tied to the property. This file can be modified and updated at any time by Metropoly. The data highlighted are only expectations
based on various third-party sources and not financial advice.
Metropoly provides:
21
REAL ESTATE NFTS (CONTINUED)
The data provided may be entirely incorrect or incomplete for different reasons, and every buyer is responsible for doing their research before buying a
Real Estate NFT.
Metropoly Ltd. will mint income-generating real estate NFTs, divided into holiday homes and long-term rentals. After deducting the costs (detailed in
the financial breakdown), the income generated by the rent is paid to the owners in proportion to their shares monthly and is automatically deposited
to the wallet of the NFT owners.
As in real life, the value of a property usually increases in value. The same applies to RENs, but this is not guaranteed, and the opposite may even be the
case. Therefore, for our Metropoly members, we provide value appreciation estimates based on the price development of previous years. The expected
numbers provided may be entirely incorrect or incomplete for different reasons. Therefore, every buyer is responsible for doing their due diligence
before buying. All the owners will get monthly update sheets with all the crucial metrics about their REN.
22
REAL ESTATE NFTS (CONTINUED)
Property Management
A professional local property management company manages all the real estate tied to the NFTs. All of them are trusted and vetted by the Metropoly team.
The fees for this service are deducted directly from the rent and are listed transparently in the financial breakdown.
DAO Rights
Each real estate NFT owner has a voting right proportional to their number of fractions and can vote to sell the property in the real world, increase rents, and more.
This function will be included in the BETA 2.0 of the Metropoly Marketplace in the dashboard section.
How it works:
At least 50% of all owners must participate for the vote to be valid
Overall, 75% must accept the proposal for a motion to pass
A vote is valid for 7 days
If all the conditions are fulfilled for the sale of the property, Metropoly will inform all the NFT holders and list the property in the next 30 days on different local marketplaces for the
current value of the real estate based on market research. Depending on the country, real estate sales can take up to six months or even longer. The same rules apply if the owner of
the property gets an offer. All the REN owners get informed and can vote to sell the property. If the conditions are not met, the property remains in possession of Metropoly as before.
23
HOW DO WE CHOOSE PROPERTIES?
All Real Estate NFTs offered on the Metropoly Marketplace must pass a strict screening and selection process.
Metropoly bases its selection process on various criteria to provide users with only the best properties. Our
specialized team carefully vets the properties available and considers a third-party valuation before setting a
score. The higher the score, the more likely a property will be listed on the platform. For this reason, only a tiny
percentage of the properties viewed end up in the Metropoly Marketplace.
We evaluate crucial aspects of the property, including area, surrounding development, service charges,
building quality, number of amenities, developer, and expected supply.
We follow a “value investing” strategy for acquiring assets for less than what we believe is their intrinsic value
and typically less than their replacement cost. Our team then works to increase the value of each asset over
time through hands-on management and partnership with local operators. Metropoly does all the work on
the real estate NFT investors’ behalf. So, they can sit back and relax!
24
HOW DO WE CHOOSE PROPERTIES? (CONTINUED)
We’ve specifically built the Metropoly portfolio to withstand prolonged periods of economic distress. Of course, nothing can be
guaranteed, but because of our conservative approach and extensive underwriting processes, we believe the Metropoly portfolio
is, from a risk-adjusted-return standpoint, well positioned to sustain a severe economic downturn.
4. Property acquisition fees (1.5%): If we negotiate to buy the property at a lower-than-evaluated market price*, we will take 25%
of the difference. This allows us to be fully aligned with the investors and ensure we get the lowest possible property price.
5. Property selling fees (1.5%): If we manage to sell the property at a higher-than-evaluated market price*, we will take 25% of
the additional profit. This allows us to be fully aligned with the investors and ensure we get the maximum sale price at the exit.
*The market price is evaluated and provided by reliable and trusted third-party audit companies
25
HOLIDAY HOMES & LONG-TERM RENTALS
Holiday Homes
The short term-rental industry has gotten extremely popular over the past few years due to new platforms like Airbnb and
Booking.com.
Metropoly and our partner companies use multi-channel marketing services and provide dedicated customer service and
maintenance seven days a week. We are increasing the return on Real Estate NFT investment by converting the properties into
Holiday Homes, which are perfect for short-term leases in major international cities. We also provide A-Z Airbnb Management
Services. Along with our dynamic corporate culture and multifaceted teams, we are proficient in catering to all aspects of property
management.
The most important focus of an online vacation rental company is attracting bookings and maximizing profits for the Real Estate
NFT shareholders.
Long-term rentals have continued to be a consistent and excellent source of income. All Real Estate NFT investors would like to get
as much value for their dollar as possible, and owning long-term rentals is a great way to do so. In addition, a long-term rental is a
consistent and reliable way to increase cash flow and helps you to achieve financial freedom.
No matter the location, time, or market conditions, people will always need a roof over their heads. A place to live. Especially now
that real estate prices are increasing significantly and purchasing is becoming unobtainable for some, renting has become the go-
to solution for many.
Owning long-term rental properties means receiving a consistent rental income for 12 consecutive months a year, making it much
easier to budget and plan repairs or upgrades. Having a minimum of one-year leases also means less turnover and lower costs.
26
RENTAL INCOME INSURANCE
Metropoly provides insurance to guarantee monthly rental
income on each real estate NFT available on the Metropoly
Marketplace. We aim to build a platform to generate wealth
through real estate NFT investments.
27
VIRTUAL PROPERTIES
AND METAVERSE
In anticipation and the adoption of Web3,
our NFTs will enable users to showcase
their Real Estate NFT collections in the
metaverse.
28
TRANSPARENCY
The Metropoly Marketplace is decentralized, and you can go through all available real
estate NFT opportunities and get full access to the details on each. This includes the
property’s floor plan, an investment memorandum, a Comparative Market Analysis
(CMA) produced by a trusted third-party data provider, and financial projections.
We use data from leading third-party providers to ensure that all our in-house
research and analytical tools remain accurate and reliable in current market
conditions. This allows us to filter and identify unique opportunities and gives us
excellent visibility of the best deals available in the market.
All the real estate information is available on the listing page. Metropoly takes
transparency very seriously. All the listed properties will have their third-party
valuation report updated regularly and made available to investors on the platform.
You can always view the estimated market value of your NFTs on the listing page,
which is based on the latest valuation reports of your properties. On the dashboard,
you can also track each investment’s performance and read the third-party updates
which give all owners accuracy and transparency on what their investment is worth.
29
TEAM BUILDING & LONG-TERM VISION
Metropoly is set up for success because we connect two multi-trillion-dollar industries, facilitating and revolutionizing the
global crypto and real estate industries. In addition, we are resolving massive existing problems. Our goal is to make it as easy
as possible to invest in real estate worldwide regardless of the user’s origin, country, or credit score.
We will implement different elements step-by-step to make the project as secure, transparent, and customer-friendly as
possible. We are going to build an international team focusing on these departments:
We will build an international, well-connected, and experienced team of real estate analysts and brokers. Our goal is to
present only the best real estate deals that generate long-term profits for the users.
Customer satisfaction is our top priority. We want to create a platform and give users the best possible investment
opportunity with a simple interface and the desire to improve our platform continuously. It’s only possible to grow with a solid
customer base, and our team will regularly implement new features and elements to improve the customer experience.
30
TEAM BUILDING & LONG-TERM VISION (CONTINUED)
We are going to be the first, but success is going to cause imitators and copycats. So, we must build a creative team to
generate new content for all popular social media channels consistently. Especially in the first few years, a strong social
media strategy will enable us to grow very quickly and establish a monopoly position in the market.
Building a team that ensures the security of the platform is essential to ensure growth and customer satisfaction.
Therefore, we will create security protocols and hire experienced blockchain and IT developers to implement them. As a
result, users should always feel their investments are safe and be able to invest more considerable sums without any
concerns.
Legal Department
Regulatory measures will become an issue even for decentralized projects. Therefore, we want to anticipate and secure
the Metropoly Marketplace and obtain all the necessary licenses to operate our platform worldwide.
31
GROWTH MARKETING STRATEGY

SUPPORTING HOMELESS
CHARITIES
“One in five people across the world live in slums and substandard housing,
locking them into a grinding cycle of poverty. This lack of housing negatively
affects their health and well-being, educational prospects, and ability to make
a living. [ . . . ] We believe that a decent home helps to permanently break the
cycle of poverty and allows families to achieve strength, stability, and self-
reliance.” - Habitat for Humanity
Our vision is to revolutionize the real estate market and open it up to the
mainstream while supporting and helping those who need it most. For this
reason, we have decided to donate 5% of the profits after all costs (including
reserves) and 5% of all transaction fees on our NFT Marketplace to various
international homeless organizations.
We are building a platform where people from all over the world can invest in real
estate in a decentralized way without forgetting that there are people who do not
have a roof over their heads.
