On this episode of Koji Conversations, Jack chats to Isaac from Rigor. Rigor is a Defi protocol that provides decentralised liquidity for home builders seeking to finance the construction of their homes.
Rigor offers a solution to the affordability crisis using Web3 native solutions for coordination and financing. Through their model, builders will become more profitable and efficient whilst buyers can enjoy affordable houses. Moreover, they hope to implement unprecedented buyer options, such as rent-to-own homes.
Isaac and Jack also discuss the infinite options blockchain technology can unlock for the housing market, and what that looks like both IRL and in the metaverse.

01:00 - What is Rigor, why are you building it and what are you building?
01:52 - It would be great to go through a bit of your background and how you found yourself in a position where Rigor made a lot of sense to you as a product.
03:38 - At a super high level what are the pain points of the construction industry and with that solution in mind, where did Rigor come into play?
08:12 - So even prior to Rigor, you pulled a company working in the space that was failing on this exact problem, to one that became successful. Briefly describe how you 180'd that project?
10:25 - So there are two major problems, one is coordination and the other is finance and getting the financing and paying people on time. It seems like these are two problems that crypto solves extremely well and I guess that you notice that and out comes Rigor...
11:54 - Let's go into the full architecture, as a participant, as a lender, who are the lenders you're targeting today? Are they your average DeFi users? Are they your more institutional lenders that are currently lending in the traditional market? In the traditional real estate landscape and moreover who are the builders on the other side and the full stack on the building side?
14:19 - In the Rigor model, is it based off the history you're lending to? is that where their credit worthiness comes into play as well?
18:00 - Before we go into crypto cities, I'd love to go into the metaverse and your plan for Rigor in the metaverse?
23:15 - With that vision in mind, where are we now and where are we sitting on the road map?
26:25 - Any final remarks before we close this episode?
