*<mark style="color:red;">**This feature will not be activated for the first phase of the marketplace**</mark><mark style="color:red;">, helping prevent confusion and making it easier for users to adopt and use the platform. For Phase 1 Assets have been fractionalized and added to the marketplace.</mark>*

Fractionalization is important for the RWA marketplace because it enables asset owners to unlock the value of their assets and create investment opportunities for a larger pool of investors.&#x20;

By having the option to own a fraction of the listed asset, it becomes more affordable for investors to participate in the ownership of high-value assets. This allows for the creation of diversified portfolios and can provide liquidity to assets that would otherwise be difficult to sell.<br>

Fractionalization on the RWA Marketplace can be initiated by the Asset Buyer. **Here's how the process generally works:**

1. Asset buyer connects their Metamask wallet to the RWA Marketplace.
2. Choose the asset you wish to fractionalize and check if it’s eligible for fractionalization.&#x20;
3. Select the "Fractionalize" option and enter the percentage you want to Fractionalize.
4. Define the terms of the fractionalization, such as the percentage ownership per NFT, there will be a minimum amount required for fractionalization.
5. Once you’ve reviewed and agreed to the terms, purchase the fraction.

Users can purchase fractionalized NFTs on the marketplace, and the funds will be automatically distributed to the asset originator's wallet.

<mark style="color:purple;">**Note:**</mark> <mark style="color:purple;"></mark><mark style="color:purple;">The exact process may vary depending on the specific asset being fractionalized and the terms set by the Asset Buyer. It’s recommended to carefully review and understand the terms before fractionalizing an asset.</mark>
