# Getting Started

## Introduction to Oceanpoint Protocol

Welcome to the Oceanpoint developer documentation! Here, you'll embark on a journey into the world of Oceanpoint Protocol, a platform that seamlessly integrates the realms of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and real estate through innovative web3 solutions.

Oceanpoint stands out in the blockchain space by offering a unique blend of real estate tokenization and DeFi products. Developed and maintained by [Blocksquare](https://blocksquare.io), Oceanpoint leverages the power of Ethereum's smart contracts to create a decentralized, open-end DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization). This approach not only democratizes real estate investments but also introduces novel ways for asset liquidity and yield generation in the DeFi space.

The smart contract codebase for Oceanpoint is [open-source](https://github.com/blocksquare/oceanpoint-contracts), offering transparency and community involvement in its continuous development, and currently maintained by the [Blocksquare](https://blocksquare.io) team. 

The interface hosted at <https://app.oceanpoint.fi> is at the moment closed source and maintained by the [Blocksquare](https://blocksquare.io) team.
