General Overview

Commonly asked questions about Gypsy Protocol

What is Gypsy?

Gypsy is a platform for tokenizing a global network of high value real-estate assets. The platform allows investors and renters to gain fractional ownership of the underlying assets via an online cryptographic currency called GPSY.

Why Gypsy?

Gypsy is on a mission to reimagine home-ownership and rentals without involving banks or landlords. It is a closed-loop, self-sustaining financial ecosystem that buys, upgrades, rents, maintains and sells its properties. This ecosystem is driven by users of our network, all of whom are fractional owners.

Who can participate?

Anyone in the world who wishes to divest a portion of their investments into high-growth real-estate can get started for as little as $10.

Do I have to be an accredited investor?

No. Anyone with $10 can get started with Gypsy.

Address Screening

Why is my wallet blocked?

All wallets are blocked by default. We are legally required to verify the identity of our users and ensure their backgrounds are clear.

To get started with Gypsy, you must undergo a few basic steps to ensure you have a KYC (know-your-customer) and AML (ant-money-laundering) with us.

If you believe your address have been incorrectly flagged, please contact help@gypsytoken.org

How can I be whitelisted?

Please proceed to KYC and AML steps so we can whitelist your wallet. We receive intelligence and reports from Stripe, Plaid, and their external partners.

What information is shared with Stripe, Plaid and/or partners?

Your address is shared but no metadata is tracked or shared. The request from the UI is routed to the API hosted by Gypsy, which is used as a proxy endpoint, and the address is passed directly through to the vendors. Your IP address is not shared.

Stipe, Plaid and their partners similarly provide API hooks to Gypsy so we can receive binary signals about the validity of a person and their background information.,

Is there any risk?

All investments are subject to risks and market conditions. Risks specific to Gypsy include: (i) short term fluctuations in real-estate prices and/or occupancy rates of properties under our management, (ii) smart contract risk (bug in protocol code), and (iii) liquidation risk on cash run (real-estate is one of the most illiquid asset classes in the world).
