Unicorn Invest RWA
Unicorn Invest RWA is a platform for tokenized real estate on Base. It lets verified investors fund real, cash-flowing US construction projects with USDC - directly from their own wallet, with every step recorded on-chain.
Who we are
We’re not a crypto project searching for a use case - we’re an active US real-estate development team. For years we’ve bought, built, and sold property using our own capital and a circle of accredited investors. Unicorn Invest adds a third funding source to a business we already run: on-chain fundraising.
Each property is an independent offering. Investors contribute USDC during a fundraise; the funds are held by a smart contract until the goal is met; the raised capital is then moved to a regulated treasury, converted to fiat, and used to build. When the project completes, the return of capital plus profit flows back to investors. On-chain, claimed directly by each investor.
Team overview

We’re a real, accountable team - not anonymous founders. The people putting these projects on-chain have been buying, building, and selling property for years.
Vision - the economics, not the philosophy
The reason we tokenize is economic, and it’s worth understanding before you invest.
A construction loan never covers the whole build. Before a bank will lend against a project, it requires the developer to put up a large slice of equity and keep it frozen for the life of the loan. That frozen equity is the real bottleneck to building more - it’s our own cash, locked up, project after project.
So we raise that capital on-chain instead of tying up our own. On-chain fundraising is a faster, global capital rail. It frees our balance sheet to take on more projects, and it lets investors share in the upside of a build they could never normally access. It’s a genuine win-win:
- For investors - real, asset-backed returns. Backed by physical homes and land, from actual construction profit - not token emissions or circular DeFi yield. You invest in USDC from your own wallet; funding, terms, and payouts are enforced and verifiable on-chain.
- For builders (us) - capital beyond the bank. On-chain investors supply the capital the bank requires us to freeze, so we recycle our own capital into the next project faster.
- Aligned incentives. Investors take their share of the profit; we earn ours only after you’re paid. We win when you win.
Because the terms live in a smart contract, there’s nothing to take on faith: the funding goal, deadline, minimum, and investor limits are fixed at deploy and can never be edited, and both refunds and ROI follow a pull pattern you trigger yourself from your own wallet. No opaque paperwork, no relying on us to send your money back.
Who can invest
Eligibility and per-project limits are enforced on-chain via the KYC registry. At this stage, we run funding with only non-US (Reg S) investors. Reg D 506(c)/506(b) for US investors is not yet active.
| Investor type | Requirements | Limit per project | Allowed |
|---|---|---|---|
| US accredited (Reg D 506(c)) | KYC + sanctions screening + accreditation | up to $25,000 | No |
| US non-accredited (Reg D 506(b))* | KYC + sanctions screening | up to $2,500 | No |
| Non-US (Reg S) | KYC + sanctions screening | country-level limits; max 2000 investors/project, avg. 300/project | Yes |
* Non-accredited US participation and its exemption treatment are subject to final legal counsel review.
How it works, in one paragraph
Verify once (email + KYC). Browse open properties. Invest USDC into a property’s funding contract. App/contract checks your KYC, type, limits, and the deadline, then mints a non-transferable proof-of-investment token to your wallet. If the raise succeeds, an operations multisig withdraws the funds to a separate treasury multisig for construction; if it fails (or an admin goes dark), you reclaim your USDC yourself. When the project completes, you claim your share of principal + profit. See Architecture for the full lifecycle, Contracts for the on-chain details, and the Roadmap for where we are.
