1/8 Real estate: a $380T market still running on slow, fragmented, outdated systems. Transactions take months, liquidity is locked, and ownership is siloed.

Today, we’re unveiling Arda—the operating system for real estate, built to change this forever.

Arda Labs Raises Pre-Seed to Build Real Estate’s Operating System, Led by Ex-Goldman MD & JPMC Crypto Head @olijharris: fortune.com/crypto/2025/03… #ArdaLabs @Lightshift_xyz

Oli Harris (@olijharris) was Head of Crypto and Quorum at JPMorgan, where he led and commercialized Quorum, then MD and Head of Digital Assets Americas at Goldman Sachs, where he established and led the team overseeing crypto and tokenization efforts.

Now, he’s bringing his titutional-grade blockchains to transform the largest asset class in the world—real estate.A $380T market still runs on slow, disconnected systems. Every transaction is siloed. Liquidity is locked. Every deal starts from scratch.Past attempts fixed symptoms, not the cause.

Enter @Arda_Labs —the first real estate operating system.
• Transferability – Real estate transactions execute instantly, like stocks.
• Fractionalization – Increased liquidity and access.
• Programmability – Thousands of applications working together under the same framework.

The moment is now:
 → Technology has caught up—real-world assets can finally scale.
 → Institutions are moving—$4B+ in real estate already tokenized.
 → Regulation is welcoming it—from the UAE to the US.

Real estate is finally moving at the speed of the internet. Arda is making it happen. @Lightshift_xyz is leading the pre-seed round to build the foundation for real estate’s digital future.
