Frequent Asked Questions
Anwers to our most frequently asked questions are just one click away.
What is Azqira?
Azqira is a fin-tech startup that is changing the way people look at real estate investment. By utilising fractional ownership through blockchain technology, Azqira allows people from all over the world to invest in real estate starting with €100. With a core focus on real estate in the hospitality industry, Azqira is changing the face of two industries at once and opening them up to a world of investors.
How does the platform work?
Azqira acts as an intermediary between the hospitality industry and eager real estate investors looking to break into the market. By utilising the power of blockchain technology we are able to fractionalise the ownership of hospitality real estate developments into digital assets and make them accessible for investors to buy at all levels. Investment options will be made available through the purchase of NFT packages that are divided into different tiers starting at as little as €100. These packages will contain both digital assets that represent a portion of the real estate as well as other exclusive benefits such as the right to earn dividends. As the real estate value increases so will the value of the digital assets that each investor holds and after a stipulated locking period digital assets and NFTs will be allowed to be traded within our exchange. Here investors have the opportunity to make money based on the fluctuating value of the digital asset as well as the potential to earn dividends through holding NFTs.
How can I own a fraction of a property?
Through the use of blockchain technology and smart contracts embedded into the code of our platform, Azqira is able to virtually divide the ownership of real estate into digital assets. These digital assets are tied to the ownership of the property but do not necessarily mean that you would physically own a fraction of a building, like 7 bricks in the bathroom wall. Ownership is seen as a virtual percentage of the entire project.
Why blockchain?
Blockchain technology is what enables Azqira to provide cross-border real estate ownership without the need for mountains of paperwork and red tape. Smart contracts embedded into the code of our platform have the ability to be immutable which means that once they are written they cannot be changed. This creates a transparent and secure contract between our community and the platform that enables seamless and hassle-free transactions and investments.
What are smart contracts?
These are essentially contractual agreements that are embedded into the code written on our platform. Instead of dealing with mountains of paperwork and regulatory red tape, smart contracts give us the ability to achieve the same result with much less hassle. The reason smart contracts work so well is because they are immutable and transparent. This means that once they are written into the code of the platform they are ‘set in stone’ and cannot be removed.
How do the NFT packages work?
Every real estate project launched on our platform will have a unique set of NFT packages made available for investment. This does not mean that Azqira sells NFTs but rather AZQ packages held in NFTs. These packages will be tiered at different levels depending on the value that each person wants to invest, with an increasing amount of AZQ needed to buy a package in each tier. ( Insert infographic) In the launch of each real estate project, a specifically allocated amount of these NFT packages will be made available for purchase. Each package will have a stipulated number of AZQ within them that will be held in them for the duration of the locking period. Ownership of one of the packages will give the holder certain benefits that will not be possible if they own AZQ outside. Notably, the most important benefit will be the ability to earn dividends from the real estate projects as they start to add value to the supporting business, much like how you would earn dividends from shares in a business.
Why hotels?
Why hotels you ask? There are a number of reasons that we have chosen real estate in the hospitality industry as our core focus. First and foremost we want to work in an arena that doesn't just make financial sense for investment, but also encourages the freedom in lifestyle that we want our investors to be inspired by. Working within the hospitality industry gives Azqira the unique opportunity to operate in all corners of the globe which diversifies investment opportunities in our portfolio and opens up new potential, helping us inspire all corners of the globe. The hospitality industry also allows the ability for our investors to earn dividends on their investment instead of just the standard rental income that normally exists within the real estate industry.
What is an AZQ?
AAZQ is our very own digital asset that we will be using on the Azqira platform. AZQ will be purchased at a determined value that will fluctuate with the progress of the real estate projects that Azqira is tied to.
How much do I need to start?
Investment opportunities will differ slightly from project to project depending on the size and value. The goal for Azqira is to make real estate investment accessible to anyone’s own budget. That’s why we aim to have a minimum entry-level investment of €100 per project.
How do I make money from this?
Azqira is a fin-tech startup that is changing the way people look at real estate investment. By utilising fractional ownership through blockchain technology, Azqira allows people from all over the world to invest in real estate starting with €100. With a core focus on real estate in the hospitality industry, Azqira is changing the face of two industries at once and opening them up to a world of investors.
How do I earn dividends?
Investors will only be able to earn dividends if they hold AZQ within an NFT package. Dividends will be earned based on the success of the real estate projects much like how you would earn divided from owning shares in a business. The number of AZQ that you hold in your NFT will determine the number of dividends that you are entitled to receive.
Why must I do a KYC?
A KYC (Know Your Customer) check is performed for every potential investor on the Azqira platform. This is done to ensure that our service and community remain safe and secure for all those who use it. KYC has become commonplace in Investment platforms and we want to make sure that Azqira remains at the top of the ladder when it comes to the data security and safety of our investors and platform.
Is this a European-only opportunity?
Although Azqira hosts hotel projects from all around the world, we are currently only allowing investments from the European market. Not to fear though we will be expanding in the near future. So sign up and we’ll let you know exactly when.
How does the locking period work?
Each project will have a specifically determined locking period of the investment after its release onto our platform. This means that after first purchasing your NFT package there will be a period where trading will not be made available. This is done to ensure stability in the real estate projects that are being invested in and to ensure that there is steady and reliable growth in the value of investors' AZQ. When the stipulated locking period is over, trading of AZQ and NFTs will be made possible.
