Monart City at DASA 2025: Pioneering Real Estate Tokenization Across Africa
Monart City was proud to play an active role at DASA 2025, Africa's landmark gathering on digital assets, innovation, and regulation.
This experience inspired our vision for the future of real estate through tokenization—a revolutionary process that converts property ownership into digital tokens on a blockchain, democratizing access to property ownership and transforming investment opportunities across Africa.
Through our partnerships and contributions, we showcased how tokenization can unlock access to real estate and transform investment opportunities across Africa. Together with our global partners, including DigiShares, and with insightful presentations from Gabriel Sadoun and Adam Blazsek, participants had the chance to experience first-hand a platform that truly works.
