The real estate sector has undergone quite a transformative shift during the last decade as blockchain technology has integrated into every aspect of property transactions and management. From enhancing transparency and security to simplifying property management, blockchain is poised to be a game-changer. However, while the DLT has immense potential, the challenge of network fragmentation across different blockchain platforms has emerged as a critical barrier to mainstream adoption. This is where multichain solutions come into play, providing the essential bridge across various blockchain networks to enable smoother, more efficient operations in the real estate space. In this article, we will focus on how the Etherland team leverages the multi-chain direction.
What Are Multichain Solutions?
At their core, multichain solutions refer to the ability to operate across multiple blockchain networks simultaneously. Unlike traditional single-chain platforms, which are confined to one blockchain, multichain solutions allow different blockchains to interoperate with each other seamlessly. This enables users to leverage the unique capabilities of various blockchains without being restricted to a single network.
In the context of real estate, multichain solutions are crucial in ensuring that property transactions, ownership records, and asset management can be conducted seamlessly across different blockchain ecosystems. By enabling interoperability between blockchain networks, multichain solutions address one of the key challenges faced by the real estate sector: network fragmentation.
The explosion of real estate tokenization in 2025 has made multichain infrastructure not just desirable but essential. Real estate applications using blockchain have surged 58% since 2022, focusing on tokenized property transfers and transaction cost reduction. And the numbers tell quite a compelling story:
- The RWA tokenization sector surpassed $11 billion in Total Value Locked by March 2025
- Projections indicate the total RWA value on-chain could exceed $30 trillion by 2030
- Deloitte projects roughly $4 trillion of real estate will be tokenized by 2035, up from less than $300 billion in 2024
As you can imagine, this explosive growth demands infrastructure that can move assets seamlessly between chains, something single-blockchain solutions simply cannot deliver at scale.
Bridging Blockchain Networks in Real Estate
Real estate, by nature, is a global industry where transactions and operations span multiple countries, currencies, and legal frameworks. This globalism and scale create the need for diverse blockchain networks to handle different aspects of real estate management. Without an efficient way for these networks to communicate, the potential for blockchain in real estate is significantly reduced.
Multichain solutions serve as a bridge connecting these disparate blockchain networks, enabling seamless flow of real estate transactions and data between them. Here’s how this works:
1. Enhanced Interoperability
Real estate platforms often operate on different blockchains, such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, and others. Multichain solutions allow these networks to interact with each other, ensuring that transactions and data are easily transferred and recognized across various blockchains.
For example, an asset tokenized on Ethereum can be recognized and traded on Solana or Polygon, facilitating smoother cross-platform transactions.
2. Reduced Transaction Costs and Enhanced Speed
Blockchain platforms often have their own set of transaction fees and time constraints. By utilizing multichain solutions, users can choose the most cost-effective and efficient blockchain for a particular task, reducing both the cost and the time associated with real estate transactions.
Real-world impact: One property firm cut international deal closures from 45–60 days to 9 days using blockchain, with fees dropping from $27,000 to $7,800 per deal, a 71% cost reduction. This efficiency gain is only possible when platforms can route transactions through the optimal blockchain for each specific use case.
Stablecoins now represent over 91% of daily trading volume, offering price stability for large-value real estate transactions while maintaining cross-chain compatibility. In Q2 2024 alone, stablecoin transactions totaled $8.5 trillion, more than double Visa’s transaction volume, thus demonstrating the infrastructure’s capacity for real estate settlement at scale.
3. Tokenization and global liquidity
Tokenizing real estate properties on blockchain networks allows for fractional ownership and easier asset management. Multichain solutions enable tokens representing real estate assets to be traded across various blockchain networks, providing investors with greater liquidity and access to a global market.
Institutional validation: BlackRock’s BUIDL fund crossed $2.5 billion by April 2025, demonstrating strong institutional appetite for compliant, yield-bearing on-chain assets.
The tokenization of real estate has exploded in 2025, with platforms demonstrating the power of multichain architecture.
For investors, this means a property tokenized on Ethereum can be easily traded on Polygon or Solana, expanding the market and creating unprecedented liquidity. Tokenized assets have also crossed the $5 trillion mark in market value, led by tokenized real estate and carbon credits.
4. Security and Data Integrity
The security of real estate transactions is paramount, and blockchain offers unparalleled transparency and immutability. With multichain solutions, real estate data, such as ownership records, transaction histories, and legal documents, can be securely stored across different blockchain networks. This ensures that the integrity of the data is preserved, even if one network faces technical issues or security breaches.
Infrastructure resilience: As of 2025, the total value locked in cross-chain bridges reached $19.5 billion, demonstrating the maturation of secure cross-chain infrastructure. The redundancy inherent in multichain architecture provides critical protection for high-value real estate assets. If Ethereum experiences congestion or elevated gas fees, transactions can route through Polygon or Binance Smart Chain without compromising security or data integrity.
