Frequently Asked Questions

Whether you're just discovering this platform or ready to take the next step, these answers will help you feel confident and informed.

What is Purpose for Profit (PFP)?

PFP is a 501(c)3 non-profit focused on funding affordable housing development and renovation in the United States using blockchain technology to make it more affordable to borrow, and more profitable for investors.

What makes Purpose for Profit different from traditional real estate investment platforms?

PFP combines real estate lending with blockchain technology to make a leaner, more efficient lending and rewards system. As a non-profit we can offer projected higher returns to investors because we are not constrained by the corporate profit model.

What are the benefits of using blockchain technology for a housing investment project?

a. Funding is transparent and can be tracked and accounted for with unparalleled precision. b. It creates access to capital without the use of the traditional banking system, which historically does not fund affordable housing development at the rate necessary to meet housing needs. c. Using the $PURPOSE token to create liquidity for lending and reinvestment reduces multiple layers of middle-men operations, thereby being more efficient and generating higher returns for investors

What are real-world assets?

a. Real-world assets (RWAs) are physical or tangible assets that exist in the real world — not just in digital form — and can be represented, tokenized, or financed in the blockchain or financial systems. Examples of RWAs are: i. Real estate (like apartment buildings, houses, or commercial properties) ii. Commodities (gold, oil, etc.) iii. Equipment and infrastructure (solar panels, industrial machines) iv. Receivables and loans (like mortgages or invoices) v. Cars, art, or other valuable items b. PFP’s RWA is the affordable housing units built through the loans disbursed from the $PURPOSE token sales. 100% of the interest generated by these loans is returned to investors.

Why tokenize real world assets?

a. Tokenizing RWAs means creating digital representations of these assets on a blockchain. This can: ● Increase access to investments that were previously limited to large institutions ● Add transparency, since transactions and ownership are verifiable on-chain ● Improve liquidity, allowing easier trading or fractional ownership ● Lower costs by cutting out middlemen like banks or brokers
