The DLD-backed tokenisation model uses blockchain technology to represent fractional interests in eligible real estate assets. The legal rights, resale conditions, and investor protections depend on the approved framework and the specific platform. Investors should verify the ownership structure and applicable terms before purchasing tokens.
