Today marks a major milestone for Mapstone. The platform is officially live on Ethereum Mainnet and open to the public.
Anyone can now search for real-world locations, mint Address and Neighborhood NFTs, buy and sell assets through the Mapstone marketplace, and participate in a platform that connects blockchain ownership with real-world places, property data and ETH rewards.
For us, this launch represents the beginning of what Mapstone was built to become: a new digital layer for the physical world.
Every real-world address is unique. On Mapstone, so is its NFT.
Mapstone transforms real-world street addresses into unique digital assets on Ethereum, with only one NFT available for each eligible address. From your childhood home or favorite neighborhood to iconic buildings, stadiums and destinations, Mapstone gives people the ability to claim and own the digital representation of places that matter to them.
Across the United States alone, that creates a universe of more than 168 million potential Address NFTs.
And because each location can only be minted once, every Address NFT is inherently tied to something scarce: a specific place in the real world.
Address NFTs are also the foundation of Address Quest™, Mapstone’s real estate strategy competition.
Instead of relying on random outcomes, Address Quest™ connects gameplay to actual housing-market performance. Players build portfolios of Address NFTs across the country and earn points based primarily on how the corresponding postal codes perform using real-world home value data.
Choose markets you believe will outperform. Adjust your portfolio as conditions change. Climb the leaderboard as your locations gain or lose ground.
The top 1,000 players will compete for a share of a prize pool targeting 10,000 ETH, funded through activity across the Mapstone platform.
In other words, owning an Address NFT is not simply about collecting a location. It gives you a way to put your knowledge and instincts about real estate markets to work.
Explore Address Quest™ and see how the competition works.
Neighborhood NFTs offer another way to participate.
Each Neighborhood NFT represents a unique U.S. postal code. Instead of competing in Address Quest™, Neighborhood NFT owners earn ongoing ETH royalties from activity within their neighborhood.
Owners receive 10% of Address NFT mint revenue generated within their postal code and 1% of eligible Mapstone marketplace sales involving addresses in that neighborhood.
Those royalties are paid automatically in ETH to the Neighborhood NFT owner’s wallet.
With more than 26,000 Neighborhood NFTs currently available across the United States, Neighborhood NFTs create a way to own a piece of the activity surrounding an entire local market.
Explore available Address and Neighborhood NFTs on Mapstone.
Mapstone was built around a simple idea: blockchain assets become more meaningful when they are connected to something people already understand.
Addresses have identity. Neighborhoods have value. Real estate markets move. People have strong connections to the places where they live, work, travel and invest.
Mapstone brings those elements together in one platform.
Address NFTs create digital ownership around individual locations. Neighborhood NFTs create an economic layer around postal codes. Address Quest™ turns real housing-market performance into a competitive experience. The Mapstone marketplace allows these assets to be bought and sold on Ethereum.
Players can also explore real-world home value data by postal code to research housing-market trends and inform their Address Quest™ strategy.
And this is only the beginning.
With the public launch now live, anyone can begin exploring Mapstone.
Search for an address you know. Find a neighborhood you believe in. Discover iconic locations that have not yet been claimed. Study real estate market trends. Build an Address Quest™ strategy. Or own a Neighborhood NFT and participate in the activity generated within an entire postal code.
Some of the most interesting locations in the world are still available.
Now is the time to find yours.
