NamericaREAM is a high-end real estate development project for Dubai's pre-sale properties. It collaborates with Dubai Royal Real Estate Group EMAAR to achieve on chain transactions of pre-sale properties through the dynamic mapping layer of the WAT protocol, enabling users to trade properties through ATC. And mint the income token INC (Income Token) to inject the investment income of pre-sale buildings into the chain. 3. As an important global energy asset, the natural gas resources of Kurmanstan will have their natural gas extraction rights and sales revenue digitized through the compliance pre-processing layer of the WAT protocol (audited by institutions such as JPMorgan Chase) and ZK technology, introducing energy related targets with an annualized stable cash flow of over 10% to the cryptocurrency market while ensuring on chain transaction compliance.
