DPI Protocol introduces perpetual futures for the Dubai Property Index — enabling anyone to trade the direction of Dubai real estate without buying or selling physical property.
- Go Long — Bullish on Dubai? Ride the upside.
- Go Short — Think the market is overheated? Profit from corrections.
- Hedge — Homeowners can protect their exposure without selling.
No deeds. No brokers. No waiting months to exit. For the first time, Dubai real estate becomes a two-way market.
DPI Protocol is built on a customized fork of Drift Protocol v2, adapted for Real World Asset (RWA) trading. Key modifications include:
- Custom Oracle — Aggregates housing prices from multiple reputable Dubai real estate services, providing real-time data on average square meter values, regional variations, and market trends.
- RWA Tokenization — Tokenizes "square Dubai meters" directly tied to the Dubai Property Index, enabling perpetual futures trading.
- Solana-Native — Blazing speed, minimal fees, and scalability for high-volume trading.
- Rust toolchain (stable)
- Solana CLI
- Anchor framework
- Node.js + Yarn

Dubai is just the beginning. DPI Protocol is designed to scale worldwide — enabling hedging for real estate markets in New York, London, Singapore, and beyond. Real estate volatility is a universal stressor; crypto provides the borderless access, 24/7 liquidity, and smart-contract automation to democratize protection.
DPI Protocol is a fork of Drift Protocol v2, customized for Real World Asset futures trading. We are grateful to the Drift team for building battle-tested infrastructure.
