The project started with a clear goal: to address a common challenge for real estate developers in Asia — reaching international investors without relying on physical offices, local sales teams, and banking-heavy cross-border processes that make expansion slow and expensive.
In six months, Sabai Protocol helped turn that idea into reality by launching RENANCE — a tokenized real estate investment platform focused on curated real estate opportunities in Asia with attractive return potential, while targeting investors across multiple countries and regions.
This case shows how to build a tokenized marketplace that connects real estate assets, investor onboarding, payment flows, and operational management in one system.
Project Snapshot
Launch time: 6 months
Assets tokenized at launch: 3 properties
Total tokenized value: $796.3K in real estate assets
Minimum investment: $100 per token
As a real estate tokenization platform example, RENANCE shows how developers can combine fractional investment, legal structuring, and digital distribution in one market-ready product.
Key Outcomes
- Launched a tokenized real estate investment platform in 6 months.
- Combined fractional investment from $100 with whole-unit property sales.
- Reduced cross-border transaction friction and related distribution costs.
- Built infrastructure designed to scale beyond one developer’s inventory.
Introduction
Scaling Real Estate Investment Beyond Local Markets
For the real estate developers partnering with RENANCE, traditional distribution limited international growth. Reaching global investors often required local offices, regional sales teams, and slow cross-border processes shaped by banks and intermediaries. RENANCE’s clients were looking for a more scalable, efficient, and investor-friendly way to access global demand.
Entering new markets such as Europe, CIS countries, and other parts of Asia typically required:
• opening physical sales offices;
• building local sales teams;
• navigating complex banking procedures.
These processes slowed down expansion and reduced margins by 4–5% due to cross-border banking fees and intermediary costs.
A tokenized real estate marketplace Renance.io
Sabai Protocol built a complete white-label investment infrastructure combining real estate expertise, Web3 execution, and launch support. The result was RENANCE — a digital investment platform that gives developers a scalable new channel for global capital raising without rebuilding distribution from scratch.
Javis A, Co-Founder of RENANCE, described the shift this way:
“Our tokenized marketplace, Renance.io was created to make cross-border real estate investment for developers in Asia simpler and more scalable, and Sabai helped us build exactly that. Their white-label solution gave us a stronger digital foundation for reaching international investors. Concept development, the full legal setup, token issuance, the platform itself, the admin panel, and the marketing launch, all of this was completed in just 6 months. It was a huge amount of work, and we are genuinely grateful to the Sabai team for their deep involvement in our project."
Instead of relying on manual sales, local intermediaries, and bank-led settlement, RENANCE was built as a digital platform for global investor onboarding, fractional investment, and future multi-developer expansion across Asia.
Client Profile
Industry: Real Estate Development
Market: Southeast Asia
Objective: attract international investors and scale capital raising
What the Platform Included
For RENANCE, tokenization was not just a token launch. Sabai Protocol built a complete white-label tokenization infrastructure that brought together legal structuring, financial logic, technical infrastructure, and commercial components in one system ready for market launch.
That system had five core layers. As a tokenization infrastructure example, RENANCE included not only smart contracts and a marketplace, but also legal documentation, investor flows, settlement logic, admin tools, and sales enablement.
1. Legal Architecture
Sabai Protocol designed a leasehold- and SPV-based structure for cross-border investment. The framework allows economic rights to real estate assets to be transferred to international investors while complying with local ownership restrictions.
This was especially important in the Southeast Asia context, where foreign ownership restrictions can make direct cross-border investment into real estate more complex. A leasehold- and SPV-based structure can help separate project-specific rights and liabilities from the developer’s broader operating structure, making the platform easier to scale and manage.
The legal infrastructure included:
• token purchase agreements;
• investor documentation;
• operational SOPs for listing third-party assets.
This structure allows RENANCE to operate as a broader investment platform capable of listing properties from multiple developers across Asia.
Before: properties were sold through traditional contracts and manual processes, mostly within the limits of local market infrastructure.
After: developers gained a legal structure that made international distribution more repeatable and scalable.
2. Financial Engineering & Tokenomics
Sabai Protocol designed a financial model that aligned investor expectations with the economic realities of real estate developers.
Key elements included:
- projected investor yield;
- tokenomics;
- token lifecycle mechanism;
- automated payout mechanisms;
- USDT and fiat settlement options.
Using stablecoin infrastructure significantly reduces delays associated with international banking systems while still allowing traditional fiat settlement when required.
The model gave investors clearer payout logic and settlement flows, while keeping the structure practical on the issuer side. Investors receive returns directly through their digital dashboard, without manual reporting.
Before: international investors faced slow transfers, unclear payment timing, and more friction around cross-border settlement.
After: RENANCE offered a smoother investment flow with automated distributions and both crypto and fiat settlement options.
3. Technology Infrastructure (White-Label Platform)
Sabai Protocol deployed RENANCE on Polygon and built the core tools needed for investor onboarding, operations, and transaction management.
Marketplace
A listing interface presenting available investment opportunities and asset analytics. In practical terms, it gave investors a structured, always-available digital showcase and reduced the need for bespoke investment presentations for each lead.
The white-label platform is designed to be easy to operate, with a streamlined interface and management logic that support efficient day-to-day use even by teams without deep technical expertise.
Investor Dashboard
A personal account where investors can:
• complete KYC verification;
• manage portfolios;
• track returns;
• withdraw payouts.
As a result, investors could handle key actions independently, which lowered the support and sales load and reduced manual coordination. For investors, this replaced a fragmented, bank-led process with a single digital flow for registration, KYC, and investment.
Admin Panel
Operational infrastructure allowing developers to manage listings, monitor transactions, and track investor activity in real time. This gave sales, finance, and back-office teams direct visibility into funnel performance and transaction flows.
Smart Contracts
The system includes primary and secondary market smart contracts that enable token issuance, trading, and revenue distribution. These contracts underwent a CertiK security review and ranked in the top 10%.
Before: the process relied on spreadsheets, CRM handoffs, sales follow-ups, and bank transfers.
After: RENANCE had one operational system for investors, sales, and back-office workflows.
4. Go-To-Market Strategy
Sabai Protocol designed and launched the RENANCE brand, including naming, positioning, and visual identity.
The marketing strategy focused on high-intent investor funnels, combining:
• YouTube investor education content;
• private Telegram investor communities;
• structured onboarding webinars.
Alongside traditional channels such as:
• SEO;
• PPC advertising;
• PR and media exposure;
• partnership distribution.
Different funnels were built for different investor segments. Mid-ticket investors ($15,000–$100,000) were approached through messaging around capital preservation, diversification, and international real estate exposure. Retail investors were offered a lower entry point starting from $100 through fractional ownership.
Before: the distribution relied mostly on conventional real estate sales logic and local expansion through offices or partner networks.
After: RENANCE had segment-specific digital funnels designed for both higher-ticket investors and retail entrants, making capital raising more scalable across multiple markets.
5. Sales Education and AI-Based Onboarding
Selling tokenized assets requires different operational skills compared to traditional real estate.
Sabai Protocol implemented a training system for the internal sales team, including:
• tokenization product education;
• Web3 investment onboarding flows;
• AI-generated training modules and webinars.
Selling tokenized real estate requires a different sales process than selling property through traditional channels. To prepare the internal team, Sabai Protocol built a training system covering tokenization basics, investor onboarding flows, and AI-assisted learning modules. Within weeks, the sales team was able to explain the product more confidently and support investors through the new digital journey.
Before: the sales team was used to conventional real estate offers and was not equipped to explain tokenized products clearly.
After: the team could present the offer confidently, answer investor questions faster, and support onboarding more effectively.
Key Product Innovations
Automated Affiliate Infrastructure
A built-in multi-level referral system gave each regional office and partner a unique identifier, allowing headquarters to track performance across markets in real time. This made it easier to compare partner results, reallocate resources, and reduce dependence on underperforming channels.
Hybrid Investment Flow
RENANCE combined two models in one platform: fractional investment for retail participants and whole-unit purchases for larger investors. That allowed both segments to be served within one system instead of splitting operations across separate sales processes.
Fractional Investment
Investors can purchase tokenized shares of real estate starting from $100 per token, making premium real estate accessible to a broader global investor base.
Whole-Unit Purchases
High-net-worth investors can purchase entire property units — apartments or villas — using cryptocurrency or fiat.
This hybrid structure allows both retail and larger investors to participate within the same ecosystem. The same project can be offered to two different customer segments — retail and HNWI — while back-office operations remain within one system instead of being split across separate sales models.
This capability can be implemented even in markets where real estate transactions are still largely offline and technological systems remain fragmented. Sabai Protocol adapts to local realities and connects traditional property ownership models with modern digital investment platforms.
Initial Tokenized Assets
At launch, the platform listed 3 tokenized properties with a combined value of approximately $796.3K.
Examples include:
• Satoshi Villa A2 (Unit A234) — $371,300.
• Satoshi Villa B1 (Unit B131) — $239,900.
• Satoshi Villa C1 (Unit C1C23) — $185,100.
Satoshi Villa B1 (Unit B131)
The launch portfolio included residential units in Koh Rong Island and Siem Reap. The mix was selected to test different types of demand across asset type, location, and investment ticket size.
RENANCE continues to expand its pipeline and actively explores high-potential real estate opportunities across Asia. The platform is focused on projects with strong fundamentals, compelling return potential, and a clear fit for international investors. Developers, asset owners, and project teams interested in listing opportunities on RENANCE can get in touch with the team through the platform’s official channels.
Result: From Strategy to Launch in 6 Months
As a tokenized marketplace case study, RENANCE shows how a project can move from a tokenization concept to a functioning digital investment platform with legal structure, investor flows, tokenized inventory, and a trained sales team in six months.
What started as a distribution bottleneck tied to local offices, manual processes, and bank-led cross-border sales became a digital system for capital raising, fractional investment, whole-unit purchases, and future onboarding of new developers.
Sabai Protocol completed the full cycle. For teams studying how tokenization platforms are built, the RENANCE launch shows the sequence clearly: strategy first, then legal and financial architecture, followed by platform development, smart contract deployment, and sales onboarding.
Month 1: Strategic audit and tokenization architecture.
Months 2–3: Legal framework and tokenomics.
Months 3–5: Platform development and smart contract deployment.
Months 5–6: Platform launch and sales onboarding.
The partnership did not end with the platform deployment.
Sabai Protocol continues to support RENANCE with IT infrastructure, legal updates, product improvements, and onboarding of developers and assets.
Julia Filobokova, CEO of Sabai Protocol, on the process and results:
“Our goal with RENANCE was to build something practical, not just innovative on paper. We created an investment infrastructure that helps real estate developers in Asia lower the barriers to international expansion and reach global investors in a more scalable and efficient way. For us, this project is a strong example of how tokenization can become a real business tool for global capital raising.”
Conclusion
RENANCE shows how real estate projects from traditionally local markets can be transformed into global digital capital channels in as little as six months — without relying on a costly network of international sales offices. By combining legal structuring, blockchain infrastructure, and investor distribution into one white-label solution, Sabai Protocol helped turn a locally constrained sales model into a scalable cross-border investment platform.
Just as importantly, the platform was built for growth. RENANCE is structured to onboard multiple developers and assets across the region, creating a broader investment platform rather than a channel tied to a single source of inventory.
