# Introduction

With an extensive background in international real estate, founder Anton Glotser recognized early on the challenges posed by poor paperwork quality in developing nations. When he first encountered Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) in 2017, he saw a growing opportunity to address these issues. This insight led him to focus on educating politicians and building trust in blockchain technology across North, Central, and South America. In 2021, DelNorte successfully persuaded the government of Honduras to adopt NFTs for the agricultural sector. Despite facing significant opposition that led to the shelving of the initial contract, DelNorte persisted.

In 2022, the company achieved a major milestone by securing the government of El Salvador’s recognition of NFTs as valid, legally binding forms of documents and data. This breakthrough opened the door to numerous private and government contracts, enabling DelNorte to tokenize real-world assets and municipal data. 

Our partnerships include collaborations with prominent organizations such as Coldwell Banker, Novotel, coffee cooperatives, mining consortiums, and various financial institutions. We are currently engaged in projects across multiple countries, including El Salvador, Mexico, Honduras, Costa Rica, Guatemala, the United States (several counties), Colombia, Guyana, Panama, the Dominican Republic, Brazil, and Argentina.

DelNorte is now actively managing pilot programs at various stages of development in [El Salvador](https://www.instagram.com/p/CgxPuuouEJ0/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y%253D), [Mexico](https://www.facebook.com/NDDGobiernoMunicipal/videos/591418099173129/?extid=CL-UNK-UNK-UNK-AN_GK0T-GK1C) and [Honduras](https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0M5cyGeUw4azjxZENiwBA6BfvwJ5e2pBzr183zdPVbiggjaTuTkf7bvaodQia7wJ7l\&id=106535826094917\&mibextid=l066kq&_rdr), with a dozen more countries in the pipeline.<br>

This White Paper builds on our medium-term successes and strategic planning to offer investors and partners access to our platform, which will facilitate private-sector interactions and data-driven solutions.&#x20;
