# Overview

## Fractit

**On-chain real estate index markets. Built for compliant access, privacy-preserving execution, and atomic settlement.**

Fractit is the protocol layer bringing the world's regulated real estate index markets on-chain. Through its index markets product, Fractit issues Canton-native tokens that provide 1:1 economic exposure to fully replicated baskets of exchange-listed real estate shares, held in institutional SPV custody.

### The problem worth solving

Real estate is the world's largest asset class. Yet access to listed real estate index exposure remains locked behind exchange hours, broker accounts, and jurisdictional friction.

Traditional channels require brokerage relationships and are bound entirely to exchange operating hours. Settlement is slow. Custody is opaque. And access is unavailable to large segments of the global investor population.

The gap is not in the quality of the underlying asset. **The gap is in the access layer.**

### What Fractit provides

* **Compliant on-chain index exposure** — KYC-gated and VARA-oriented, backed 1:1 by real constituent shares in institutional SPV custody.
* **24/7 secondary market** — an AMM-powered trading pool that runs continuously, even when the underlying exchange is closed.
* **Full on-ledger auditability** — every mint, swap, transfer, and redemption recorded immutably on Canton Network.
