Paraguay invests in Polkadot to tokenize innovation hub with hotel, university, and data center
Assuncion Innovation Valley launches with US$6 million in tokenized equity, combining blockchain-based governance, interoperability, and regulated investment in Paraguay’s capital.
By Polkadot•August 26, 2025
Paradata, a corporate blockchain development firm, has announced the tokenization of Assuncion Innovation Valley (AIV), a multi-purpose innovation district being developed in Asunción. The project will be registered and managed through Better Use Blockchain (BuB), a white-label tokenization platform running on Moonbeam, a roll-up within the Polkadot ecosystem.
A total of 130,000 equity tokens will be issued, backed by US$6 million—the appraised value of the land designated for construction. These tokens will comply with Paraguayan regulations, providing holders with voting rights in shareholder assemblies as well as a share of profits.
The development will include a hotel, convention center, university, and data center. From the third year of operation, profits are expected to be generated and distributed automatically via smart contracts. By utilizing Moonbeam and Polkadot, the project gains interoperability across blockchains, shared security, scalable transaction processing, and the ability to implement on-chain governance.
Token distribution is being carried out in phases. The pre-sale and the first tranche, reserved for founding partners, have already been completed. A further issuance is planned for 2028. Governance rules stipulate that, in the event of a token sale, existing holders must be offered the assets for one hour before they become available to the market. External audits will be conducted independently, and tokens may be blocked, burned, or redistributed if required by judicial ruling.
The official launch is scheduled for the third quarter of 2025, which will mark the start of operations on Better Use Blockchain, Moonbeam, and Polkadot, as well as integration with global payment gateways and the implementation of KYC verification systems. Preparations are also underway to finalize on-chain governance mechanisms and structure the next stages of the token sale.
“This project with the Paraguayan Blockchain Chamber has been developing for two years. What began as a pilot has evolved into a potential benchmark for Latin America. With Polkadot supporting the vision of Mário and Ricardo from the Chamber, and Jaime from Better Use Blockchain providing the infrastructure to bring it to life, all the partners—Polkadot, Better Use Blockchain, Moonbeam, and the Cámara Paraguaya de Blockchain—have become essential to making this initiative possible,” said John Rhodel Bartolome, Business Developer at Polkadot and Sunset Labs.
Paradata S.A. focuses on integrating traditional business models with blockchain infrastructure, creating regulated and globally accessible investment opportunities.
