# Ecosystem

Integra’s ecosystem strategy is grounded in (i) bringing existing real estate economies on-chain, (ii) capturing the end-to-end real estate value chain, and (iii) expanding real estate use cases through AI.

**Economies on Chain**

Assets such as rental properties, debt, and hotels represent micro-economies of their own - the asset generates income in the form of rent or exit, income gets collected and distributed between operators and owners, and owners take profit or redeploy this income into more assets. By targeting large assets with existing participants (instead of dead assets that do not produce activity), Integra onboards such existing micro-economies onto its chain, leading to activity, flows, and significant re-investment potential.

**Onboarding Real Estate Value Chain**

Integra’s second pillar is to onboard the well-established value chain of real estate. This means identifying and partnering with key anchors from both the supply side and the demand side of real estate.

Asset Managers / Developers > Regulated Tokenization Engines > Brokers / Secondary Markets > DApps, Investment Banks, Wealth Advisors, Realtors > Investors (Institutions, Mid Market, Retail)

By carefully crafting incentives and aligning a critical mass of leaders in each of these domains, combined with dedicated technology and ecosystem supply, Integra aims to become the go-to network for tokenized real estate. Integra's native offerings (L1, core dapps) shall remain complementary and supportive back-end infrastructure to the applications and participants on Integra

In addition to investment and trading of real estate, we also believe that mortgages shall be a key use case for tokenized real estate. On-chain lending ecosystem will require licensed lenders, DApps, real estate developers, and liquidators.

**Expanding Real Estate Use Case Through AI**

New participation will be supported by innovations in product (markets, derivatives, trading, fractional investing, tranching, lending, yield-splitting, indices) and distribution (affiliates, social media, realtors).

To that end, Integra shall support third-party applications that push the envelope in the real estate ecosystem.

This ecosystem will be underpinned by supporting technology infrastructure enabled through Custodians, On-Ramps/Off-Ramps, Wallet Providers, Market Makers, Transaction Monitoring, and traditional service providers such as Auditors, Valuation Agents, Lawyers, Liquidators, and Notaries, who bring in Due Diligence and Trust.
