What Is Cradle ?

In Kenya and across many African countries, the rental market remains highly fragmented and dependent on traditional, inefficient systems like classified ads, word-of-mouth, and unregulated online forums. These outdated methods create challenges such as fraudulent listings, lack of transparency, inconsistent property quality, and tedious verification processes for both property owners and renters. Existing global platforms like Airbnb primarily cater to short-term stays but fail to meet the growing demand for secure, long-term rental solutions among expatriates, digital nomads, and professionals.

Cradle is a next-generation real estate agency proptech platform that integrates Web3 innovations with a seamless user experience to transform the real estate ecosystem. Built on the Solana blockchain, Cradle simplifies rental transactions, fosters transparency, and enhances security while maintaining an intuitive interface for both property owners and tenants. Blockchain technology is integrated where it adds the most value—secure payments, escrow-based rental agreements, and tokenized incentives. Each listing will be hand-picked through a rigorous verification process to ensure quality standards are met and security for prospective tenants.
