Pre-alpha launch
REX is founded by Stephen King, a New Jersey-based real estate broker/developer, and Russell McLernon, a Sydney-based technical strategist and Blockchain developer. King is also the founder of the Princeton Ethereum Meetup.
Today, REX is announcing its pre-alpha launch. Even at this early stage, the platform is approachable, intuitive and aims to seamlessly transition new users from the traditional MLS listing model to interact with real estate data on the Blockchain.
The pre-alpha offers browsing capability of sample listing markets in New York City, Shanghai and Sydney, allowing users to upload listings, scour properties on a map and access a REX wallet.

While testing various designs and user experience ideas, REX tapped into the vibrant network of minds of the Ethereum community, to foster optimal development as the project grew. The team behind the project now hopes this launch will encourage even more people to get involved.
The project’s roadmap
REX will begin assembling the database in the form of a Multiple Listing Service. As the database scales and the network stabilizes, REX will gradually implement the transaction layer.
