EgemCoin is Amazing
Egem Coin WhitePaper Abstract:
Introduction
Egem is a platform leveraging blockchain technology to facilitate the management and trade of fractional NFT (FNFT) ownership using the Egem (EGEM) token. This system introduces two pivotal price points for the EGEM token:
Market Price: The current price of EGEM on the open market.
Intrinsic Price: A calculated value based on evaluation reports, reflecting the inherent worth of the token independent of market fluctuations.
Usage of Prices
Conversion between NFT fractions and EGEM: Utilizes the Market Price.
Update based on evaluation reports: Determines and publishes the Intrinsic Price on the blockchain and within the system.
Egem Smart Contracts
EGEM ERC20 Contract (Market Price)
The EGEM ERC20 contract, which has already been deployed, represents the market price for minting and burning the EGEM token. The contract address is required for minting and burning tokens. This contract will interact with the ERC1155 contract to facilitate the conversion and trading of FNFTs.
ERC1155 Contract
The ERC1155 contract stores and manages FNFTs and their intrinsic values. This contract includes several key functions to mint, update, trade, and read FNFT details and calculate and store the intrinsic value of EGEM.
Function Summaries
- Mint FNFT: Admin-only functions to mint new FNFTs with details such as name, document link, total price, fraction price, and a number of fractions.
- Update FNFT Details : Admin-only function to update the price details of an existing FNFT.
- Calculate Intrinsic Value: Updates and stores the intrinsic value of EGEM in the contract.
- Sale NFT: Burns NFT fractions to generate EGEM tokens based on the Market Price.
- Purchase NFT: Burns EGEM tokens to generate NFT fractions based on the Intrinsic Price.
- Read NFT Details: This function retrieves details of a specific FNFT, such as its name, price, fractions, and document link.
- Read EGEM/TRY Intrinsic Value: Retrieves the current intrinsic value of EGEM stored in the contract.
Mechanics and Examples
To help illustrate the mechanics of the Egem platform, we present simplified examples demonstrating the issuance, trading, and value adjustment of FNFTs and EGEM tokens. These examples provide clarity on how the system adapts to changes in the market and evaluation reports.
Initial State
The platform starts with predefined assumptions for EGEM prices:
ERC1155 Contract
The ERC1155 contract stores and manages FNFTs and their intrinsic values. This contract includes several key functions, such as minting, updating, trading, and reading FNFT details and calculating and storing the intrinsic value of EGEM.
- Market Price: 0.01 TRY per EGEM
- Intrinsic Price: 0.01 TRY per EGEM
Token Generation and Value Adjustment
As new NFTs are introduced and transactions occur, the supply of EGEM tokens and their corresponding values adjust accordingly. Here’s a summary of how the system adapts to changes:
New NFT Issuance: A new FNFT is introduced, and its total value and fraction count are used to determine the initial fraction price. EGEM tokens are then generated based on this value.
Price Updates: The value of FNFTs can change over time based on market demand and new evaluation reports.
Burning Fractions: Users can burn FNFT fractions to generate EGEM tokens at the current Market Price, which increases the total supply of EGEM.
Intrinsic Price Calculation: The Intrinsic Price is recalculated based on the total TRY burned and the total supply of EGEM, reflecting the underlying value of the tokens.
Examples of Token and Fraction Interaction
Initial NFT Issuance: A new FNFT is introduced, and its total value and fraction count are used to determine the initial fraction price. EGEM tokens are then generated based on this value.
Market Price Adjustments: As the market price of EGEM changes, it affects the conversion rates between FNFT fractions and EGEM tokens.
Value Increases: If the value of an FNFT increases, the corresponding fraction price also increases, impacting the potential EGEM generation if fractions are burned.
Fraction Burning: When fractions are burned, EGEM tokens are created at the current Market Price, increasing the overall supply of EGEM. The Intrinsic Price is then recalculated to reflect the updated total TRY burned and EGEM supply.
Market Corrections: If the value of an FNFT decreases, it adjusts the fraction price accordingly, affecting the EGEM tokens generated if fractions are converted back into EGEM.
Security
Security Information
Ensuring the security of our platform is paramount. To that end, we have implemented a range of security measures and best practices to protect our users and their investments. Below are the key security features of our system:
Contract Language and Standards
Solidity: Our smart contracts are developed in Solidity, a robust and widely-used language for Ethereum-based applications.
ERC-1155: We employ the ERC-1155 standard for our NFTs, offering efficient and secure handling of multiple types of assets within a single contract.
ERC-20: We utilize ERC-20 contracts to manage the supply of our tokens, ensuring compatibility and reliability.
Security Measures
1) Upgradable Contracts
- Feature: Our contracts are designed to be upgradable.
- Benefit: This allows us to update and improve the contracts without creating multiple versions on the blockchain, ensuring seamless upgrades and maintaining the integrity of the contract’s history.
2) Contract Transactions
- Feature: We ensure that each contract handles one transaction at a time.
- Benefit: This practice prevents re-entrance attacks, where an external contract could repeatedly call into the same function before the initial execution completes, potentially leading to vulnerabilities.
3) Required Conditions
- Feature: We implement rigorous validation checks within our contracts.
- Benefit: These checks prevent unauthorized and erroneous entries, ensuring that the contract processes only valid data and actions.
4) Self Destruct
- Feature: Our contracts include a self-destruct capability.
- Benefit: In cases where it becomes necessary to delete a contract, this function allows us to safely remove the contract from the blockchain and recover any remaining funds, providing a fail-safe for unforeseen circumstances.
5) Access to Private Data
- Feature: We use private variables and functions within our contracts.
- Benefit: This restriction ensures that sensitive properties are not exposed to users, protecting critical data from unauthorized access and manipulation.
6) Hiding Malicious Code
- Feature: Solidity allows any address to be cast into a specific contract type.
- Risk Mitigation: To prevent misuse, we carefully manage contract addresses and types to ensure that only intended interactions occur. This minimizes the risk of malicious code execution by untrusted addresses masquerading as legitimate contracts.
By incorporating these security practices, we aim to provide our users a safe and reliable platform, ensuring that their investments and transactions are always protected.
Conclusion
The Egem platform provides a transparent and efficient method for trading and managing fractional NFTs using EGEM tokens. The system ensures fair value representation and adaptability to market conditions and evaluation insights by maintaining both Market and Intrinsic Prices.

Recently, we dreamt about an RWA coin—a real-world asset coin backed by tangible assets—and after three years of continuous work, finally, EgemCoin was born. The Aegean Sea in Turkish is called EGE, in which G is pronounced like g in ‘eagle.’ For all these years, we have been working in Izmir, a beautiful city near the Aegean Sea; so, we called this coin EGEM, which in Turkish means ‘My Aegean Sea!’
Egem coin, contrary to many coins by which you just buy shadow and dust, is a real-world asset coin. That is, it is based on a real thing. Since EGEM is based on real estate right now, when you buy EGEM, it means you are buying a real piece of a flat, a house, or a land.

EGEM token creation idea
EGEM token creation idea emerged once there was no blockchain:
In the year 1992, the founding partner of EgeMoney, Farhad Moghadamsalimi, faced a daunting reality in his pursuit of building a business. Determined to secure the initial capital required, he made a difficult decision to sell his mother’s house. Little did he know that this would be the start of a transformative journey that would shape his vision for the future.
The following year began with a harsh realization. The rampant inflation in the economy meant that the same house Farhad had sold could only be rented now at the same price. Inflation had eroded the value of his hard-earned capital, leaving him disheartened but unwavering in his resolve.
For the next decade, Farhad toiled tirelessly, striving to regain what he had lost. The relentless rise in prices caused by inflation made it challenging for him to keep pace. No matter how hard he worked, he always found himself falling behind, forever chasing the elusive goal of financial stability.
However, after ten long years of perseverance, resilience, and unwavering determination, Farhad experienced a moment that would forever be etched in his memory. He finally repurchased his mother’s house, bringing an indescribable joy to her face.
The satisfaction of this achievement fueled Farhad’s desire to find a solution that would empower others to navigate the perils of rampant inflation.
Motivated by his own struggles, Farhad recognized the pressing need for a mechanism to
protect individuals from devaluing their hard-earned assets.
This realization became the driving force behind the creation of the EgemCoin, its revolutionary new real estate tokenization project, and its unique token, EGEM. Farhad’s journey from losing his mother’s house to creating an EGEM token underscores the passion and commitment behind this groundbreaking project. With a deep understanding of the challenges posed by inflation, he and his team have created a platform that addresses these issues and opens up new avenues for security and stability.
EgeMoney team’s expansion into tokenized real estate ownership marks the next level of its mission. By leveraging blockchain technology and NFTs, the platform pioneers a path towards fractionalized property ownership, enabling users to benefit from Turkey’s booming real estate market while hedging against inflation.
High Entry Barriers
As per data from the Turkish Central Bank, the inflation rate soared to a staggering 85.51% in October 2022, and 64.77% in December 2023, a troubling figure by any measure.
The government aims to reduce it, but the battle against inflation is multifaceted.
The persistently high interest rates and the local currency devaluation contribute significantly to this economic predicament. With the economy heavily reliant on bank credit, high interest rates increase production and service costs, exacerbating inflation. Simultaneously, the depreciation of the Turkish lira erodes its purchasing power, further fueling inflation on the demand side.
In the face of this daunting challenge, real estate emerges as a potential hedge against inflation in Turkey.
While the local market constitutes the vast majority, foreigners have increasingly flocked to Turkish shores, with real estate sales to international buyers surging by 81.5% in the first quarter of 2023. Understanding the dynamics of the Turkish real estate market and its resilience amidst inflation becomes crucial for individuals seeking stability and growth.
Various factors in TURKEY REAL ESTATE’S PRICE
VARIOUS FACTORS CONTRIBUTE TO THE PRICING OF REAL ESTATE IN TURKEY. AMONG THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ARE:
The construction cost
The project’s implementation period
The location and view
Payment plans offered
The overall supply and demand dynamics
Foreign investment in the real estate market
Additionally, foreign investment in the real estate market shapes pricing trends, which can be impacted by economic inflation.
As high inflation takes its toll, the purchasing power of Turkish families is significantly diminished. Real estate has long been considered a secure and profitable venture in Turkey and worldwide. Real estate capital tends to appreciate in the long term, making it an attractive option for investors seeking stability and potential benefits.
Price Evolution per m2 in Turkey
Arduous accessing loans
Accessing loans becomes arduous; they come with exorbitant interest rates if granted. In an inflationary environment, borrowers appear to be winners as the value of the repayment diminishes over time.
Meanwhile, lenders suffer as the purchasing power of the loaned amount decreases significantly. In the absence of affordable low-interest, reliable loans, individuals must rely solely on their own resources to combat inflation. However, a significant challenge arises in this self-reliance approach.
Despite working tirelessly and saving diligently, the value of their hard-earned money diminishes rapidly. In a high-inflation economy, even saving 10% of the price of a small apartment over a year could amount to only 5% of its value, for example, making property ownership an elusive dream.
Inflation Rate in 2022
Liquidity Issues
Compared to other types of investments, real estate has exceptionally low liquidity. This is due to the fact that property takes time to sell and hence cannot be turned into cash rapidly.
Even if real estate owners quickly generate interest in their property, it may take some time to consummate a deal. Furthermore, real estate can devalue with time, so if they have held the property for a long time, they may have to sell it for considerably less than you bought.
There are various reasons why someone might wish to swiftly transform their investment property into cash, such as tenants leaving unexpectedly or the necessity for costly maintenance.
Lack of Transparency
Transparency is essential in every company, and the real estate market is no exception. Transparency has always been a problem in the real estate sector, resulting in difficulties such as misinformation, fraud, and distrust among buyers and sellers.
The decision on where to invest in real estate will be influenced by the country’s real estate market’s stability and trustworthiness, as well as the dangers of having a dirty deal exposed and punished. It is not a surprise that the corrupt and criminals choose stable markets with lax anti-money laundering regulations and anonymity.
Easy Access to Real Estate Ownership
Recognizing the need for a robust solution to protect individuals against the ravages of inflation, the EgeMoney team devised the EGEM token and NFT digital property fractional ownership. This groundbreaking token aims to serve as a safeguard, protecting individuals from the erosive effects of inflation.
By embracing tokenization, the EGEM token opens up new possibilities for individuals to participate in fractionalized real estate ownership, enabling them to navigate the challenging landscape of high-inflation economies. By tokenizing real estate assets, EgeMoney enables individuals to own tokens representing fractionalized pieces of property in Turkey.
This groundbreaking approach opens up a world of opportunities, allowing individuals to participate in the real estate market and benefit from its performance, which has consistently outpaced inflation.
The EgeMoney Fractionalized NFT (F-NFT) program revolutionizes the real estate market by offering fractional property ownership through blockchain technology. This chapter highlights the key features and processes of the EgeMoney F-NFT market, providing a comprehensive understanding of its benefits and potential.
In the EgeMoney RWA program, FRAUD is impossible because all property owners make a strict contract with EGEMONEY company and their properties are blocked to sale by governmet. EGEMONEY has contract by the name of ‘Intifa Hakkı’ with every owner to be guarantee the integrity of EGEM ecosystem.
Properties are fractionalized into a predetermined number of ownerships NFTs. Fractionalization allows for broader accessibility, as smaller fractions are more affordable, attracting a larger pool of potential buyers. This democratizes property ownership and enables individuals to participate in smaller amounts.
Transparent Activities
It is critical to have independent property values performed by certified professionals in order to promote transparency. Independent appraisals provide unbiased assessments of a property’s market value by considering criteria such as location, condition, amenities, and similar sales. Buyers and sellers can use these valuations to negotiate reasonable prices and prevent potential conflicts of interest caused by overstated or undervalued property values.
EgeMoney uses renowned agents to conduct due diligence on the property to ensure its legitimacy and market viability. EgeMoney works with reliable agents who have experience in the real estate field, in addition to using official government resources to determine property prices. Confidential attorneys provide the necessary legal agreements to safeguard the interests of all parties involved.
Blockchain technology has gotten a lot of interest because of its potential to improve transparency and security in a variety of industries, including real estate. Property transactions can be recorded in a decentralized and immutable ledger using blockchain, ensuring that the information is transparent, tamper-proof, and available to all relevant parties.
Blockchain technology can promote faster and more secure property transfers, minimize fraud risks, and boost confidence among real estate market participants. The blockchain structure allows users to trade effortlessly in an encrypted zone while lowering the chance of fraud and AML to almost zero levels.
End of Illiquid Assets
While turning the assets into NFTs and cryptocurrencies allows users to trade the digitized fractions of the properties, the tradability of cryptocurrencies and NFTs enables the assets to set their own value based on the interest of people. The liquidity is provided through blockchain solutions, whereas the market of these new digital assets is increasing at a fast pace.
How EGEM works?
EGEM RWA Market Abstract
Asset Submission and Approval
Owners or authorized agents can submit real estate assets for tokenization. An expert panel performs a review and validation process, which includes verifying legal documents and evaluating the asset’s value.
Asset Ownership Validation
To guarantee the validity of the real estate assets being tokenized, EgeMoney integrates a review process. Each asset submitted for tokenization must have legal documents confirming ownership and legitimacy. These documents are processed and encrypted securely on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and confidentiality.
Asset Tokenization
Upon approval, the real estate asset is tokenized into F-NFTs. These F-NFTs represent
fractions of ownership in the real estate asset and can be traded on the platform.
Dual Conversion
F-NFTs can be converted into EGEM tokens, and vice versa, through a specialized smart contract. Conversion rates are dynamically adjusted based on asset valuation and market demand.
Finding Buyers
EgeMoney employs various channels to connect with potential buyers, including their existing platform and strategic advertisements. Collaborations with building companies, strengthen the marketing efforts and increase exposure for the F-NFT program.
Revenues (like rental) and Income Distribution
Upon purchasing the first fraction, the property is immediately made available for creating an income like renting. NFT holders receive their respective portions of the revenue and income. Revenue details, including amounts and payment history, are stored in the NFT metadata and can be accessed by all users.
Revenues will be an essential financial flow within the EGEM token ecosystem and can be represented in EGEM tokens. Here’s an outline of how it will work:
→ Tenant Payment or any other revenue or expense like income: The tenant pays their rent in either fiat currency (TL in TÜRKIYE). If this project is led in other countries, based on their regulations, cryptocurrency may be possible.
→ Conversion: If the payment is made in fiat (TL), it’s converted into cryptocurrency by a financial service provider integrated into the EGEM token platform.
→ Smart Contract: An Income Contract (RIC) is activated to govern the distribution of this income. The contract code is programmed to distribute the rental income to the corresponding EGEM tokens representing asset ownership. The EGEM price increase applies to this.
→ Distribution: NFT or FNFT (factions of each NFT) token holders automatically receive benefits corresponding to the ratio of the NFTs in their possession, which are directly deposited into their wallets.
Transparent Expenses Calculation
Monthly expenses related to the property, such as utility bills, are calculated, deducted from the rental income, and transparently displayed in the NFT contract. This ensures that shareholders have visibility into the property’s financial aspects and promotes transparency in financial management.
Trading and Liquidity
Users can trade F-NFTs or EGEM tokens on supported exchanges. This provides increased liquidity options for real estate. EGEMONEY company will take care of the liquidity provided for these exchanges by adding new properties to the RWA project.
Purchase and Transfer of NFTs:
Governance and Upgrades
EGEM token holders may participate in governance decisions through future updates, which could include proposing or voting on platform modifications.
Revenue Channels
1. Commission from Token/NFT Sales
The EGEM platform takes a commission from the initial sale and subsequent trades of both full assets represented as NFTs and fractional assets represented as EGEM tokens. This is designed to cover the operating costs of the platform, including but not limited to technology development, legal compliance, and customer support.
For each NFT sale, EgeMoney charges a 0.2% commission on the total sale value. For each fractional asset sale (EGEM tokens), a 0.2% commission is levied.
2. Commission from Rental Income
Another source of revenue for the EGEM platform comes from the rental income generated by assets tokenized on the platform. A 5% commission is taken from the monthly or yearly rental income. This is automated through the Rental Income Contract (RIC), which deducts the commission of the platform from the rent.
In the future, EGEM will have additional revenue streams, such as:
→ Transaction fees for converting between F-NFTs and EGEM tokens.
→ Premium services like expedited asset validation
→ Partnerships with real estate agencies and other platforms

Revenue Channels
1. Commission from Token/NFT Sales
EgeMoney takes a commission from the initial sale and subsequent trades of full assets represented as NFTs and fractional assets represented as EGEM tokens. This commission covers the platform’s operating costs, including technology development, legal compliance, and customer support. For each NFT sale, EgeMoney charges a 0.1% commission on the total sale value. For each fractional asset sale (EGEM tokens), a 0.1% commission is levied.
2. Commission from Rental Income
A 5% commission is taken from tokenized assets’ monthly or yearly rental income. This is automated through the Rental Income Contract (RIC), which deducts the commission from the rent.
3. Additional Revenue Streams
- Transaction Fees: Fees for converting between F-NFTs and EGEM tokens.
- Premium Services: Offering services like expedited asset validation.
- Partnerships: Collaborations with real estate agencies and other platforms.
Legal Considerations and Risks
Investing in tokenized real estate involves certain legal considerations and risks. These include regulatory compliance, property rights, and market volatility. EgeMoney is committed to ensuring all transactions comply with relevant laws and regulations. Legal contracts and smart contracts are used to protect investors’ rights and secure transactions.
Regulatory Compliance
EgeMoney adheres to all local and international regulations regarding digital assets and property investments. This includes Know Your Customer (KYC) procedures, anti-money laundering (AML) measures, and data protection laws.
Property Rights
Ownership of RealNFTs does not equate to physical ownership of the property. Instead, it represents a share in the property’s value and income. Legal agreements and smart contracts protect investors’ rights to benefit from the property’s value appreciation and rental income.
Market Volatility
Market conditions can influence the value of tokenized assets. EgeMoney implements measures to ensure transparency and fair valuation of properties, helping investors make informed decisions.
FAQs
What is Property Tokenization?
Property tokenization refers to converting ownership or value of tangible assets into digital tokens on the blockchain. Tokenizing assets like real estate offers significant benefits for users interested in long-term investments with greater returns, enhancing usability and liquidity through rapid trading and fractional ownership.
How Does the Property Minting Process Work?
Users who want to tokenize their property and create a representative RealNFT must complete the necessary KYC steps. Then, they should fill out the application form on the Property Minting Application page, providing ownership documents, property details, images, and the number of F-NFTs to be created. Licensed Real Estate Valuation teams determine the property’s price, and once approved, official procedures commence.d
Why is KYC Important?
Opening an account and completing KYC steps are essential for regulatory compliance and ensuring transaction security and legitimacy.
How Liquid are NFTs on Your Platform?
NFT liquidity may vary depending on market demand and the specific properties represented. EgeMoney strives to provide a liquid marketplace where investors can buy and sell NFTs efficiently.
Do I Become a Physical Co-Owner of the Real Estate When I Buy a Token?
Purchasing a RealNFT grants the right to benefit from the appreciation of the real estate share’s value represented by the NFT rather than physical ownership. Legal and smart contracts protect all rights to benefit from value appreciation and ROI advantages.

BENEFITS OF EGEMONEY
Systematic Benefits
Blockchain technology is at the core of EgeMoney‘s innovative tokenized RWA ownership approach. Blockchain, a decentralized and transparent ledger, provides a secure and efficient framework for recording property transactions, validating ownership, and enabling seamless peer-to-peer transactions.
By leveraging blockchain, Egem ensures trust, immutability, and traceability throughout the entire tokenization process.
Smart contracts, powered by blockchain technology, play a pivotal role in Egem’s tokenized RWA ecosystem. These self-executing contracts automatically enforce the terms and conditions of property ownership, including benefit distribution, property maintenance, and dispute resolution.
Smart contracts eliminate the need for intermediaries, reduce costs, and enhance the efficiency of transactions, providing users with a seamless and transparent experience.
Egem’s implementation of RWA NFTs revolutionizes the concept of fractionalized ownership. Each NFT represents a specific fraction of a property, providing holders with a unique digital asset that validates their privileges. NFTs ensure the indivisibility and exclusivity of each fractional share, granting holders the ability to trade, transfer, or sell their assets with ease and security.
Tokenized real estate ownership breaks down traditional barriers by allowing individuals to participate in the real estate market with lower entry thresholds. Fractionalized ownership enables individuals to diversify their asset portfolios by acquiring fractional shares of multiple properties.
The F-NFT program presents a unique opportunity for buyers to have owner like benefits, even with a small amount. This project appeals particularly to young individuals seeking to hedge against inflation and economic uncertainties. Buyers can benefit from property rentals and potential price appreciation, thus diversifying their assets and mitigating risks.
Moreover, the blockchain-based infrastructure provides enhanced liquidity, allowing individuals to buy and sell their assets quickly and efficiently.
Egem prioritizes transparency and security in its tokenized RWA (real estate) ecosystem.
Blockchain technology ensures a tamper-proof and transparent record of property transactions, eliminating the risk of fraud or manipulation. Its immutability guarantees the authenticity of ownership and gives individuals high confidence and trust in their assets.

Operational Benefits
PROOF OF VERIFIED ASSETS (PONVA)
The integrity of the Egem ecosystem hinges on the authenticity and legal standing of the real estate assets represented through Fractional NFTs (F-NFTs). To ensure this, the platform will implement rigorous procedures for verifying assets, complying with local and international laws related to property rights and ownership.
Document Verification Process
→ Initial Screening: Asset owners who wish to tokenize their property must first submit a preliminary application with essential details about the asset.
→ Document Submission: The owner will then be asked to provide legally valid
documents, such as property deeds, land titles, building permits, and so on.
→ Third-Party Verification: These documents will be reviewed by a certified third party, such as a legal firm specializing in real estate, to verify their authenticity.
→ Local Authority Validation: Where applicable, local governmental or municipal
databases may be cross-referenced to confirm the details provided.
Storing Verification Documents
To maintain both transparency and privacy, EgeMoney will take a two-pronged approach:
→ Public Record: Basic details about the verified asset, such as its location, size, and type, will be publicly recorded on the blockchain, along with the cryptographic hash of the official documents.
→ Private Storage: The official documents themselves will be stored in a highly secure, encrypted database with restricted access to ensure compliance with data protection laws.
Asset Integrity and Auditing
→ Ongoing Audits: The platform will conduct periodic audits to ensure that the assets are maintained in good standing and comply with any local regulations or zoning laws.
→ User Reporting: The platform will feature a mechanism allowing users to report any discrepancies or fraudulent activities, which will then be investigated by the EgeMoney compliance team.
Legal Framework
The entire process will be carried out under the supervision of legal advisors to ensure compliance with:
→ Property Laws: To ascertain the rightful ownership and legal status of the asset.
→ Data Protection Laws: To protect the privacy of the asset owners and the tenants, if applicable.
Liability and Transparency
Transparency Reports: The platform will release transparency reports bi-annually to keep the community updated about the verification processes and any issues encountered.
→ Liability: In case of any discrepancies or fraudulent activities, a predefined legal route will be followed to protect the interests of F-NFT holders.
Structural Benefits
No Initial Token Supply:
Unlike traditional digital assets, EGEM tokens don’t have an initial supply. They are minted when a corresponding validated F-NFT is burned, providing a backed value.
Creation of New Entities:
once a property is introduced to the platform, a new NFT is created. For every NFT created, a new entity will be established for trade purposes of the relevant property. Having a new entity causes less bureaucracy.
Review and Validation Mechanism:
A panel of experts will scrutinize each asset, providing an additional layer of security and credibility.
Privacy-Preserving Document Storage:
Asset documentation is encrypted and stored on
the blockchain, accessible only to authorized parties.
Dynamic Pricing:
Real-time asset valuation and dynamic pricing algorithms ensure fair and up-to-date conversion rates between F-NFTs and EGEM tokens.
Introduction
Cryptocurrencies have evolved from digital novelty to trillion-dollar technologies with the ability to destabilize the global financial system in a few years.
Bitcoin and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly popular worldwide for purchasing a wide range of products and services, including software, and digital real estate.
Despite some arguments, it is clear that cryptocurrencies are a democratizing force, removing central banks and Wall Street from control of money generation and management.
Regulations vary greatly around the world, with some governments welcoming cryptocurrencies while others prohibiting or restricting their use. To counter the cryptocurrency explosion, 114 countries, including the United States, were considering adopting their own central bank digital currencies as of February 2023.
Cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, have risen to mainstream popularity and trillion- dollar valuations after being derided as a niche passion of tech fanatics. Bitcoin’s price surpassed $60,000 for the first time in November 2021. By September 2023, it had dropped to $26,000. By mid-2022, an estimated 20% of adults in the United States interviewed by NBC News had invested in, traded in, or used cryptocurrencies.
The people’s charms on cryptocurrencies are variable, but the popularity of cryptocurrencies is partly due to their decentralized nature: they can be transferred relatively rapidly and anonymously, even across borders, without the need for a bank that could block the transaction or levy a fee.
Global Cryptocurrency Market
Based on the stats from CoinGecko, the world’s largest independent crypto data aggregator, In 2022, the worldwide cryptocurrency market worthed a bit more than $2 billion USD. The IMARC Group forecasts the market to reach US$ 3,92 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7% from 2022 to 2028.
Global Crypto Market Estimation
The primary drivers of the expansion of the global cryptocurrency industry include an increase in the requirement for operational efficiency and transparency in financial payment systems, an increase in demand for remittances in developing nations, an improvement in data security, and an increase in market value. Furthermore, the cryptocurrency market’s expansion is hampered by high implementation costs and a lack of knowledge about Bitcoin among consumers in underdeveloped countries.
Moreover, a surge in cryptocurrency demand among banks and financial institutions, as well as untapped potential in emerging nations, are likely to present attractive opportunities for market expansion.
Turkish Cryptocurrency Market
The NFT industry is predicted to grow gradually until 2028, with a CAGR of 35.5% between 2022 and 2028. The country’s NFT Spend Value would rise from US$798.8 million in 2022 to US$4,943.6 million by 2028.

SECURE STORAGE OF OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS
Official documents are securely stored using a decentralized file storage system. These files are encrypted and can only be accessed by parties who hold the corresponding decryption keys. This ensures both the security and accessibility of important legal documents while upholding privacy.
Acquiring EGEM Tokens (No Initial Coin Offering)
Given that EGEM won’t have an Initial Coin Offering and that it will be based on Fractional NFTs (F-NFTs) derived from real and verified assets, here are some ways to acquire the token:
DIRECT MINTING THROUGH F-NFT
The primary way to obtain EGEM tokens would be through the tokenization of verified real estate assets. Owners can submit official documents to verify their assets, upon which F-NFTs are created. These F-NFTs can then be exchanged for EGEM tokens directly on the platform.
While EgeMoney facilitates the acquisition of EGEM tokens through the tokenization of verified real estate assets, it acts solely as an intermediary in this process. The sole responsibility for the accuracy and legitimacy of submitted documents, as well as compliance with the underlying assets, rests entirely with the real estate owners.
DECENTRALIZED EXCHANGES (DEXS)
Since EGEM tokens can be minted through F-NFTs, they can also be traded on decentralized platforms such as EGEDEX, Uniswap, SushiSwap, or any DEX that supports the token standard EGEM.
PEER-TO-PEER (P2P) TRADING
Users can conduct P2P trades to buy or sell EGEM tokens. This could either be facilitated by the EGEM platform or through third-party P2P platforms or even manually among users in a trust-based setting.
STAKING AND EARNING REWARDS
The EGEM token is expected to have a staking mechanism, and then participants could acquire more EGEM tokens as rewards. The rewards could be given to users who actively participate in governance decisions or to those who stake their EGEM tokens for a certain period.
PARTNER PLATFORMS
EGEM could form partnerships with other platforms or marketplaces to facilitate the easier acquisition of EGEM tokens. For instance, EGEM tokens could be rewarded on a different platform, which can then be transferred into the EGEM ecosystem.
TRADE MARKETS
→ EGEM Platform: Since F-NFTs can be converted into EGEM tokens, the primary marketplace is likely to be the EGEM platform itself.
→Decentralized Exchanges: DEXs would act as secondary markets where people could trade EGEM tokens with other cryptocurrencies.
→Peer-to-Peer Markets: These are informal markets and could range from online forums to third-party platforms that facilitate P2P exchange.
By focusing on verified real estate assets as the basis for F-NFTs and, subsequently, EGEM tokens, the platform offers a unique value proposition that combines the stability and value of real assets with the flexibility and liquidity of cryptocurrency markets.
At this point users would be responsible for their transactions outside of the EGEM Platform. EgeMoney does not guarantee the reliability of platforms operated by third parties.
Introduction
Regulatory compliance is a critical aspect of the EGEM token ecosystem, especially given its complex interplay with real-world assets like real estate and financial instruments such as tokens and Fractional NFTs (F-NFTs). The platform aims to comply with regulations, including but not limited to data protection laws, and anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) standards.
Data Protection and Privacy
Given the sensitive nature of official real estate documents and user data, the platform will adhere to the relevant data protection laws including the Turkish Personal Data Protection Law.
Encryption: All sensitive data stored on the blockchain will be encrypted.
Data Access: Only authorized personnel will have access to sensitive data, and this access will be logged and monitored.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Counter- Terrorism Financing (CTF)
The platform will adopt rigorous AML and CTF policies, including regular audits and checks. A designated Compliance Officer will be responsible for overseeing these areas and liaising with regulatory bodies as necessary.
If EgeMoney detects any suspicious transaction on the Platform, EgeMoney will investigate and report such suspicious transactions to regulatory activities.
Real Estate Laws
Because the platform involves the fractionalization of real estate assets, it will also need to comply with real estate laws in the jurisdictions where these assets are located. This will involve:
→ Property Verification: Ensuring all listed properties are legally registered and that the
sellers have the legal right to tokenize them.
→ Local Taxes and Fees: Compliance with relevant taxation rules, including but not limited to property taxes, transaction fees, and capital gains tax.
Periodic Reviews and Audits
To ensure ongoing compliance, EGEM will conduct periodic reviews and audits, both internal and external. These will include but not be limited to legal audits, smart contract audits, and financial audits.
Regulatory Advisory Board

The EgeMoney team’s collective expertise, dedication, and passion create a dynamic and cohesive force driving the project’s growth and success. EgeMoney is well-positioned to revolutionize the real estate fractionalized NFT market.
Their collective efforts and expertise ensure that EgeMoney remains at the forefront of innovation and provides an exceptional experience for users, property owners, and stakeholders alike.
The property owner has the authority to determine the initial price and the number of fractions for each property in the F-NFT program. The price of each fraction
is calculated by dividing the total property price by the number of fractions. This approach allows for flexibility in pricing and ensures that buyers have options that suit their budget and trading goals.
Fractional owners have the legal rights to their share of the NFT and can choose to sell it. However, EgeMoney cannot force owners to sell their fractions, as it
would compromise the system’s integrity. In case of any disputes or disagreements, negotiation and the built-in chat system on the platform can help resolve issues among users.
The F-NFT program incorporates a rental system where the property is immediately placed for rent upon purchasing the first fraction. NFT holders receive their proportional share of the rental income each month. The rental amounts and payment history are transparently displayed in the NFT metadata, ensuring transparency and accountability.
Yes, rental payments can be made using the EGEM token, the native cryptocurrency of the EgeMoney platform. Additionally, NFT holders have the flexibility to transfer the rental income directly to their bank accounts or exchange it for other cryptocurrencies like USDT or Bitcoin.
Monthly expenses, including invoices related to the property, are calculated, and deducted from the rental income. These expenses are transparently displayed in the NFT contract, ensuring that NFT holders have visibility into the financial aspects of the property. Expenses are allocated according to legal regulations, ensuring fairness and compliance.
Yes, all properties within the F-NFT program are required to be insured against natural disasters or events, such as earthquakes and fires. EgeMoney emphasizes the importance of guaranteeing properties and reducing the possibility of damage. Consulting attorneys work closely to ensure that all legal processes, including insurance coverage, are met, providing additional security for token holders.
EgeMoney earns revenue through various means. They take a reasonable commission for services such as minting the NFT, providing the platform for buying and selling properties, facilitating rental agreements, and distributing rentals and expenses. Additionally, EgeMoney offers opportunities for construction projects, further contributing to their revenue stream.
EgeMoney has implemented a referral program for real estate dealers and intermediaries. These professionals can refer buyers to the F-NFT program and receive a substantial percentage of all commissions earned, typically around 30%. The referral program incentivizes marketing efforts and fosters collaboration and mutual benefit within the real estate industry.
F-NFTs can be traded independently as digital assets on the EgeMoney platform. Holders of F-NFTs do not become property owners directly and do not gain legal ownership rights on the property. This allows individuals to speculate on the properties, participate in the market, and potentially gain benefits without physical ownership or associated taxes.
Yes, EgeMoney is open to partnerships with construction companies. They offer the possibility of creating exclusive tokens and white-label markets for each construction company, enabling the sale of properties from different construction companies on the EgeMoney platform. This collaboration allows construction companies to leverage the F-NFT program to showcase and sell their properties to a broader audience. Furthermore, EgeMoney can assist construction companies in opportunities for their new building projects, facilitating mutually beneficial partnerships.
Price changes and new NFT holders are clearly reflected in the F-NFT contracts. Property owners have the flexibility to adjust the initial price of the property and can increase or decrease it based on market conditions. Similarly, NFT Holders can set their desired price for their fraction of the NFT. This ensures transparency and visibility for all participants.
The EgeMoney platform incorporates various features to facilitate user communication and dispute resolution. A peer-to-peer (p2p) chat system allows NFT holders to interact and discuss matters related to the property. Additionally, an online conference room system enables NFT holders to hold virtual meetings recorded for future reference. These tools aim to provide a convenient and efficient way for NFT holders to address any issues or concerns without the need for physical presence.
The fractional ownership model offers several benefits to buyers. It allows individuals to participate in the real estate sector with a smaller amount. This model is particularly advantageous for young people looking to hedge against economic uncertainties and inflation. Buyers can benefit from rents and appreciating property values by owning the NFTs that represents fraction of a property. It offers a more accessible and diversified approach to real estate.
The seller determines the number of fractions that can be created for a property, with the maximum limit set at 499. However, it is important to note that the more fractions there are, the more potential buyers the property may attract, as each fraction has a lower price. Sellers can strategically determine the number of fractions to maximize the marketability of their property.
EgeMoney is committed to complying with relevant rules and regulations. They work closely with attorneys who provide the necessary legal services to ensure legal compliance. By adhering to regulatory requirements, EgeMoney aims to establish a trustworthy and secure platform for fractionalized real estate ownership.
Participating in the EgeMoney Fractionalized NFT program offers several benefits. It allows individuals to diversify their assets by involving in the real estate market with a smaller amount. Fractional ownership will enable buyers to benefit from property rents and appreciate property values. The transparent and blockchain-based nature of the program ensures accountability and facilitates secure transactions.
Yes, EgeMoney can assist in selling individual property fractions. Their platform and extensive network facilitate the discovery and connection of buyers and sellers. This service helps fractional owners who may wish to sell their shares, offering liquidity and flexibility within the F-NFT market.
The process of creating an F-NFT for a property on the EgeMoney platform typically takes approximately 4-6 weeks. During this time, the property owner contacts EgeMoney to express their interest in tokenizing their property through the NFT market. EgeMoney conducts due diligence to ensure the property meets the necessary criteria and signs a contract with the property owner. Attorneys assist in providing the required arrangements for legal compliance. Once all the necessary steps are completed, the NFT representing fractionalized property ownership is created.
Yes, there may be ongoing expenses associated with owning a fraction of an F-NFT. To ensure that you are fully informed about all aspects of your transaction, we will state the specific costs that will be borne by the token holders in advance of your purchase on the relevant NFT purchase page. We encourage you to carefully review the token and asset details, including any associated costs, before making your NFT purchase. The EgeMoney platform calculates and deducts these expenses from the property’s rental income. The remaining amount is distributed among the NFT holders based on their NFT ownership percentage, as reflected in the NFT contract. This ensures transparency and fairness in expense management.
EgeMoney strongly emphasizes the security and integrity of transactions within the F-NFT program. The platform leverages blockchain technology to ensure transparent and tamper-proof property ownership records, transactions, and contract changes. Smart contracts are used to automate and enforce the terms and conditions of property ownership, rentals, and expenses. Additionally, EgeMoney works with consultant attorneys to address legal details, implement necessary safeguards, and minimize the possibility of fraud or misconduct.
The EgeMoney platform is open to collaborating with other construction companies and can tailor solutions to meet specific project requirements. This includes creating exclusive tokens and white-label markets for individual construction companies, allowing them to showcase and sell their properties on the platform.
EgeMoney can also assist construction companies in opportunities for their new building projects, providing additional value and opportunities for growth.

EgeMoney does not offer, endorse, or invite individuals to trade digital assets or use its services without considering their personal and financial situation, needs, and goals. It is crucial to consider your financial situation and capacity and use only funds that you can afford to lose before making any financial decision.
Before entering any transaction, it is necessary to ensure that you understand and have independently assessed the suitability and appropriateness of the transaction, as well as the risk of loss associated with your financial objectives, resources, and circumstances. Here are some key risk factors:

- Market Risk: Digital assets are highly experimental, risky, and volatile, influencing digital asset markets’ prices. High volatility can lead to price and liquidity differences between platforms.
- Financial Risk: Transactions of digital assets may be irreversible and final. The risk of loss in acquiring digital assets can be substantial.
- Systematic Risk: Legal regulations, force majeure events, and technological issues can lead to systematic risks affecting digital asset projects.
- Tax Risks: Digital asset taxation can change due to evolving laws. EgeMoney cannot guarantee that digital assets will not be subject to further taxation, including additional taxes and increased tax rates. You are solely responsible for paying such taxes.
- Reputational Risk: Loss of digital assets, infrastructure and service failures, or reputational losses arising from third-party collaborations can pose risks.
- Unsystematic Risks: The project may involve risks before, during, and after a digital asset’s creation, affecting its operations and end-users. These risks comprise complexities in the technology used for digital asset administration, technical infrastructure problems, cyberattacks, liquidity issues, and legal disputes.
- Internet Risks: These relate to internet-based risks and may include hardware and software failures, internet connectivity issues, malicious software, and unauthorized third-party access. Blockchain networks are vulnerable to denial-of-service attacks, potentially affecting the project.
- Theft Risk: The smart contracts and platforms hosting them may be vulnerable to cyberattacks or hacks, potentially leading to the theft or loss of digital assets.
- Legal Risk: New regulations, interpretations, regulatory practices, or changes in applicable laws can create legal risks.
- Project Failure Risks: Project development may be hindered or canceled due to lack of market interest, funding, commercial success, or competition. We do not guarantee the fulfillment of the objectives outlined in this document.
