Onchain Housing Futures

Solana Request for Startups: Matty Taylor, Founder, Colosseum

For many homeowners, their house is their biggest asset. But there’s no easy way to hedge against a drop in its value. Renters face the opposite problem: if home prices keep rising, the market can move further out of reach.

A perpetual futures market built around a housing index could give both sides a way to manage that risk. Homeowners could go short to hedge their exposure, while renters could go long as they save for a home. Smart contracts and crypto protocols could help bring a more liquid market to life.

If you’re building a proof of concept, enter the next Colosseum hackathon.
