🏙️ Hedera RWA DeFi Accelerator – Frontend

Welcome to the frontend of the Hedera RWA DeFi Accelerator – a reference dApp for building, managing, and interacting with tokenized real estate assets on Web3. This is the user interface layer for a modular REIT system that models real estate as on-chain assets, designed with composability, investor accessibility, and DeFi integration in mind.

Powered by Hedera's Asset Tokenization Studio.

💡 This project is a reference architecture for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) on Hedera. It is not intended to run on mainnet or represent real financial instruments.

📦 Features

This frontend is structured around the idea that each building is a unique NFT-backed identity, with attached metadata, tokenized ownership, and integrated DeFi flows.

✅ Core Building Blocks

• 🧱 Building NFTs (ERC-721 + Metadata)

  • Unique NFT for each property with IPFS-backed metadata
  • Editable and freezable attributes (e.g. year built, COPE data)

• 💸 Tokenized Ownership (ERC-1400 & ERC-3643)

  • Regulated fungible tokens for shareholding
  • Geo and cap-based transfer restrictions

• 💰 Vaults (ERC-4626 & ERC-7540) – Stake building token

  • Real yield and streaming revenue distribution
  • Async vaults for smoother high-volume DeFi integrations

• 🔁 Autocompounders

  • Automatic reinvestment of yield
  • Growth of token holdings without manual claiming

• 🏛️ DAO Governance (tbc)

  • Proposals, voting, and treasury management

  • Multi-role controls for admin, investor, auditor

    

• 📈 Pricing & Liquidity

  • Add a liquidity pool to each building, and easily swap USDC for regulated building tokens

    

    

• 🏗️ Slices

  • Curated investment baskets (eg. luxury, regional, hi-rise..)

  • Built for diversification and tailored exposure

🧭 Directory Overview

The frontend follows a modular structure built on Next.js:

app/                → Page routing
  └── admin/        → Admin tools
  └── building/     → Individual building views, interactions
  └── dash/         → Dashboard and analytics
  └── explorer/     → Browse buildings and slices
  └── slices/       → Slice management
components/         → All reusable UI elements
hooks/              → Web3 data hooks
services/           → IPFS, and contract interaction logic
consts/             → Token, building, slice constants
utils/              → Date helpers

🚀 Getting Started

1. Install dependencies

yarn install

2. Configure Environment

Copy .env.example to .env.local and fill in the following:

WALLETCONNECT_ID=
PINATA_API_KEY=
PINATA_API_SECRET=
HEDERA_NETWORK=testnet

You’ll also want your Treasury account, Private key, and Contract addresses (from the backend / deploy scripts).

3. Run the app

yarn dev

🧪 Testing

This repository uses Jest for testing:

yarn test

🔓 Connect Wallets

This app supports:

• MetaMask (for EVM-compatible accounts)
• HashPack (for native Hedera integration via WalletConnect)

Features like building creation, governance updates and vault deposits are available once authenticated.

📊 Key Workflows

🏢 Deploy a New Building

• Mint a building NFT with metadata URI and Building Token

• Create a vault, treasury and governance

• Add building to slices

  

📥 Add Revenue / 📤 Record Expenses

• Push USDC into building treasury

• Trigger real-yield distributions via vaults

• Submit and approve expenses via multisig/DAO

  

💸 Trade & Stake

• Swap building tokens for USDC (AMM)

• Stake tokens into vaults for streaming rewards

• Let autocompounders grow your stake over time

🧠 Architectural Philosophy

This project uses Ethereum-compatible standards like:

• ERC-721 for unique buildings
• ERC-1400/ERC-3643 for compliant fungible shares - Powered by Hedera's Asset Tokenization Studio.
• ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 for flexible DeFi vaults
