On Jan 26, the company launched Hearth and clarified it as non-custodial tech-only infrastructure. By Feb 2, Hearth was live with a fee model tied to supported RWAs. On Apr 6, OFA acquired 50% co-ownership of QIKBIM IP and announced a $15M RWA tokenization agreement for a $1B Long Island City project. Today’s Vero Beach agreement continues that commercialization trajectory.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement adds another commercialization milestone for OFA Group’s Hearth platform, with a $7.5M technology fee and the first $3.75M installment already received.
