The Goal

One of the main reasons why Fabrica partnered with Sila was because of the compatible tech. Fabrica wants to elevate and evolve the real estate industry, and both Fabrica and Sila use smart contracts to elevate the land buying experience.

Now, partnered with Sila, Fabrica can program the real estate transaction process and Sila can program the money transfer process.
