Devision and its partners search for assets suited for fractionalization. Owners / managers of suitable assets are approached, educated on the benefits of fractionalization, and guided through the Devision process.

Assets must be represented digitally on the blockchain to utilize the power of Devision. This is what NFTs were designed for - to clearly represent ownership. By establishing a DAO legal wrapper along with the NFT, we ensure that NFT ownership == Asset ownership.

The NFT asset is locked in a Devision Vault Contract and can only be unlocked if there is a successful buy-out (described below). The beauty of Web3 is shown here, as the process is entirely non-custodial. At no time throughout the process does anyone has access to your assets.

With the NFT locked, tokens are minted to divvy up ownership. These tokens directly represent voting rights and ownership of the underlying (locked) NFT and asset. This is thanks to the DAO legal wrapper from earlier, a legal entity that bridges DeFi to the physical world and sovereign law.

The initial batch of tokens are sold using essentially a Dutch auction, where the token price falls steadily until buyers are found, upon which buying pressure causes the price to rise. This mechanism helps set a market price, distribute tokens fairly, and provide the pair balance to the liquidity pool.

To trade on Devision, simply connect any Cardano wallet and explore our markets. There are several ways you can buy tokens. One is with instant swapping in our liquidity pools. The other is setting a more traditional order in our smart contract order books. We plan to introduce purchases in USD and EUR soon.

One of the best parts of owning something is deciding what to do with it. Thanks to blockchain voting, you can vote on what your assets should do and elect asset managers to get it done. From profitability to conservation, what will you do with your assets?

Asset managers are responsible for making the token holders desires a reality. In many cases (but not all) this goal is profitability. Managers work to deploy strategies that earn revenue for the token holders and earn a commission themselves.

A token market (and the underlying asset) can be bought out by a large enough bid. It's similar to Elon Musk's bid to buy-out Twitter. It's well above its current share price, so shareholders are happy. This enables assets to return to private ownership. There is a 7-day delay to allow markets to respond to a bid.
