# Introduction

Oceanpoint is a protocol connecting Decentralized Finance (DeFi) to real estate assets through tokenization.

Developed and powered by [Blocksquare](https://blocksquare.io), Oceanpoint is a set of smart contracts on Ethereum that form an open-end DAO designed to potentially own an unlimited pool of real estate assets, where anyone can participate without legal restrictions to earn by contributing to a decentralized protocol backed by the real estate economy.

**Oceanpoint rests on three main pillars:**

1. Defi products
2. Real estate tokenization
3. Community governance
