Parcl is a Solana-based decentralized trading platform focused on real estate and RWAs. Parcl allows users to place leveraged long and short trades on cities and neighborhoods across the world through its DApp. The project was founded in 2021 with the mission to create a liquid market in real estate, the world’s largest asset class.
How does Parcl work?
Parcl leverages a decentralized perpetual futures architecture to enable the trading of real estate markets globally. The protocol uses stable coins as collateral, which act as a margin facility for traders, who can use margin to obtain leverage in the system. The price feeds, which are the reference price for the tradable markets are produced by Parcl Labs, Parcl’s real estate data subsidiary.
Parcl price and tokenomics
The PRCL token utility is several-fold. First, is governance over the protocol, initially with respect to protocol risk parameters. The token will also be a gating mechanism for the Parcl Labs API - where users will be able to access world class real estate data by staking PRCL. PRCL will also be used for ongoing incentives. Parcl has a maximum supply of 1 billion tokens. Team and investors are vested over 3 years.
About the founder
Parcl has three co-founders. Trevor Bacon and Kellan Grenier worked together at several hedge funds focused on technology investment. Jason Lewris, who leads Parcl Labs was formerly at Microsoft.
