Introducing: Rhove Earn 💰
Have you heard the news?
Very soon, you'll be able to put your cash to work in the Rhove app, then invest in the projects that inspire you. With our DeFi-powered solution, you can prioritize real estate investing by setting money aside and earning a 5% return on it while you wait.*
It's never been easier to invest in your financial future so you can own a piece of the places you love. Here’s what to expect…
Powered by DeFi
Rhove Earn harnesses the power of DeFi to offer an interest rate over 80x the average savings account; among the highest rates on the market. Say goodbye to the days of your 0.06% APY. Save your money, put it to work, and earn the rate you deserve.
5% APY, Compounded Daily
Unlike a traditional savings account, Rhove Earn offers 5% APY and compounds daily. That means your money will start earning yield the second you make a deposit in your account.
Highly Secure
Rhove Earn is not FDIC-insured, but funds are secured by over-collateralized lending in the DeFi ecosystem. We use industry-leading partners such as Compound and AAVE to earn you yield.
Get Ready to Invest
Don't let your hard-earned cash collect dust. Earn interest while you wait to invest and set yourself up for success when real estate deals go live in the app.
Rhove Earn will be available to a limited number of early Rhovers while we work on scaling the experience—we’re letting you know now so you’re ready to upgrade your account as soon as the feature is released! Keep your eyes out for an email announcement and a message from us in the Rhove Discord server.
In the meantime, you can learn more about the exciting world of DeFi and how we're using it to empower our Rhovers in our latest article.
Investor Spotlight 🔦
Monty Allen (better known online as KryptoNurd) first caught our attention when he made a YouTube video deep-diving our recent crypto initiative. This was more than just a friendly shoutout, though. Monty showed a real passion for and understanding of how digital assets like Algorand may be used to expand access and opportunity in the built world.
“The efficiencies and securities of Blockchain Technology will change the way that we invest. I’m looking forward to seeing all the Rhovers who have leveled the playing field and fundamentally rethought real estate ownership. It’s an amazing time to build wealth and to be part of something special. — Monty Allen, AKA KryptoNurd
