WHAT IS HOMIUM
homium is the digital future of home equity
homium's asset-backed token is built exclusively on shared equity in California owner-occupied single family homes.
Historical 30 yr. avg. annual compounded growth rate of 6.7%
$7.5 Trillion dollar market
Every homium token is minted contemporaneously with the funding of a shared appreciation note, with transaction details recorded to title and to the Ethereum blockchain.
homium is minted 1:1 with the value of encumbered shared appreciation in the home, creating a mirror of owner-occupied home equity which can be easily exchanged.

A True Use Case for Blockchain

Homium creates a new institutional asset class: investable owner-occupied home equity, one which could not exist before the emergence of blockchain.

By combining smart contracts on a public blockchain with a compliant legal structure, in an open business ecosystem for lenders and investors, homium has created a highly scalable machine which can digitize and store the collective value of home equity.

The assets which back the token are protected by US real estate laws, and held by an independent trust which uses all proceeds to retire outstanding homium with dollars, providing liquidity and appreciation without the need for a secondary market.

What
Makes
homium
Safe & Secure

The minting and retirement of tokens is overseen by an independent, not-for-profit mutual benefit corporation or Trust with strict bylaws and a single mission to protect the integrity and security of the token and its eventual redemption.

If homium the business were to fail, the homium Trust would remain and continue to back every token in circulation.

How does
appreciation grow
the value of coins
homium is retired when a home is sold and a loan is repaid, and the Trust uses the proceeds to purchase and retire outstanding tokens at the published rate of exchange.
#gold-eclipsed-oval{ display:block; position:absolute; right:0; top:0; }
We call this rate of exchange ‘ħ’

ħ only changes when loans are repaid and tokens are retired, by a rate proportional to the realized appreciation in the Trust’s portfolio over its basis. When home values appreciate, the ratio of qualified assets to outstanding coins increases.

The trust is bound by both immutable smart contracts and by law to buy and issue tokens at this new rate, from token holders on exchanges or through smart contracts, merchants who wish to settle homium purchases in dollars, and by funding new originations.

In this way, the liquidity available to token holders from the trust appreciates with the value of its assets and passes it on (and manages the currency supply) through token retirement.

homium is currently an institution-only coin. Approved market-makers can have access to the minting process where they can buy coins at ħ. Our platform does not make a secondary market for the coin. It simply enables its creation, and ensures its value, compliance and security.
Each token is created at the moment it is issued to a vetted and approved market-maker, in a token sale which complies with SEC Regulation D.
Tokens are delivered to an escrow smart contract that enforces securities rules around the holding period and proper transfer of tokens. Once the required time limitation on the token offering expires, it is openly sellable to anyone, anywhere.
Tokens can be delivered to a custodian address of the market-maker’s choice, or assigned prior to the expiration of the escrow contract in order to syndicate and distribute tokens the moment they become available for exchange.
The tokens themselves are issued in an ERC-20 compliant smart contract, making them instantly compatible with most exchanges and applications
