Real estate transactions are increasingly moving toward digital platforms as companies seek to reduce delays linked to paperwork, manual approvals and fragmented closing processes. Propy, a Miami-based real estate technology company, is expanding its use of blockchain and artificial intelligence to automate title and escrow operations.

Blockchain: Moving Value, Not Just Information

Natalia Karayaneva, founder and CEO of Propy, said blockchain technology allows property records and transactions to be stored through decentralized digital ledgers designed to reduce fraud risks and improve record transparency. Use of blockchain in real estate has expanded as companies explore digital systems for transferring ownership records and processing payments.

AI Integration: Streamlining Traditional Processes

Supported by a $100 million credit facility from Metropolitan Partners Group, Propy is consolidating title and escrow companies into a platform powered by AI automation. The system extracts information from signed purchase agreements and processes transactions through blockchain-based smart contracts. Propy has also introduced Avery, an AI agent designed to assist with escrow-related workflows and transaction management. According to the company, automation tools are reducing closing times from weeks to several hours in some transactions.

Regulatory Legitimacy Fuels Industry Adoption

Recent regulatory developments, including the GENIUS Act, have increased institutional interest in blockchain-based financial infrastructure. The legislation established rules for stablecoins and reserve requirements, contributing to broader adoption discussions among developers, REITs and investment firms exploring digital transaction systems.

Conclusion: A New Era In Real Estate

Real estate companies continue to test blockchain and AI applications aimed at reducing transaction times and administrative costs. Expansion of digital closing platforms reflects broader efforts across the property sector to modernise transaction infrastructure and automate operational processes.

A New Twitter-Inspired Social Network Is Taking Shape

August 27, 2026

A new social network called Twitter.now is entering the market, with a founding team that includes former Twitter trademark counsel Stephen Coates. The service is being developed by startup Operation Bluebird.

As Ars Technica reported, X sued the company last year and asked a Delaware judge to block the launch. Operation Bluebird argued in a petition that X had abandoned trademarks including “Twitter” and “Tweet.”

Coates has said the project is not an attempt to recreate the original Twitter. In a LinkedIn post, he described the platform as a new public space focused on trust, transparency and user choice.

AI System To Rate Posts

Twitter.now is currently being tested, with early access priced at $20. Its main feature is VERA, an AI system designed to evaluate posts, verify claims and provide sources and context.

Posts receive a trust score, with users eventually able to set a minimum score to filter their feeds. The company says this approach will give people more control over what they see instead of leaving those decisions entirely to an algorithm.

Moderation Remains A Challenge

Scaling moderation will be one of the platform’s biggest tests. Social networks have repeatedly struggled with content moderation as their communities grow, and newer platforms such as Bluesky have faced similar criticism.

Operation Bluebird says VERA will form the basis of its moderation and verification system. A second version is already planned, with expanded tools that would let users set a specific trust threshold for the posts appearing in their feeds.

For now, Twitter.now remains in an early testing phase, combining the familiarity of the Twitter name with an AI-driven approach to evaluating online information.
