What is PI-NFT?

Pi-NFTs represent a transformative innovation within the world of NFTs, particularly in the context of asset-backed NFTs and illiquid assets. This unique feature of the Aconomy platform, that they brings together real-world assets and the blockchain to create a novel financial ecosystem. Here's an overview of Pi-NFTs and how they work:


1. Tokenization of Real-World Assets:

Aconomy's tokenization engine allows real-world assets, which are typically illiquid or have latent liquidity, to be brought onto the blockchain as asset NFTs. These asset NFTs represent ownership in the underlying real-world assets, making them more accessible and tradable in the digital realm.

2. Validation and Transformation:

To convert these asset NFTs into Pi-NFTs, asset owners must send their asset NFTs to designated asset validators. These validators are trusted entities with expertise in the specific type of asset and are verified within Aconomy's ecosystem.

3. Verification Process:

Asset validators play a critical role in evaluating and verifying the credibility and value of the asset NFTs. They conduct a comprehensive assessment to ensure the legitimacy of the asset and the authenticity of the documents provided. This verification process adds an extra layer of trust and credibility to the asset.

4. Collateralization and Conversion:

Once the asset is authenticated and validated, the asset validator can convert the asset NFTs into Pi-NFTs by staking tokens as collateral. The amount staked serves as a testament to the validator's confidence in the asset's legitimacy and the verification process. This collateralization enhances confidence for potential investors in these Pi-NFTs.
5. Flexible Staking:

Validators have the flexibility to stake an amount that reflects their confidence and expertise, which can be below, equal to, or above the actual asset value assigned by the Asset Owner.

6. Collateral for Asset Owners:
The validator's staked funds also serve as collateral for the asset owner. The asset owner can withdraw these funds from the Pi-NFT, providing a newfound source of liquidity while maintaining ownership of the asset during the validation period.
7. Liquidity Unlocking:

This innovative process allows asset owners to access liquidity from assets that were traditionally illiquid. This liquidity can be used for various purposes, such as making other investments or meeting financial needs.

8. Trading and Utilization:

Transformed into Pi-NFTs, these assets can be fully utilized within the Aconomy platform. Asset owners can list their Pi-NFTs on the Aconomy Marketplace and leverage a range of trading features, including selling, lending, borrowing, auctioning, and swapping.


In summary, Pi-NFTs bridge the gap between traditional illiquid assets and the NFT ecosystem by providing a method to tokenize, validate, and enhance liquidity for these assets. They offer a dynamic way for asset owners to utilize their holdings and attract potential investors who seek transparent, validated, and collateral-backed opportunities in the NFT marketplace.
