When Dr. Umit Kavak and Cagri Temel co-founded Hezarfen LLC, they didn’t set out to make incremental improvements to real estate. Dr. Kavak, as CEO, brought strategic vision. Temel, as CTO, brought the engineering discipline to rebuild how property transactions actually work. The result is Redditus—a platform that combines property tokenization, legal automation, and AI into a single system running on blockchain infrastructure designed for speed and low environmental impact.
The numbers tell part of the story. More than 2,500 users have executed property transactions through Redditus. The platform earned Hezarfen‘s 2025 Global Recognition Award for Technology Innovation and Market Disruption. But the more interesting question is how Temel managed to integrate technologies that have historically existed in separate silos: artificial intelligence, legal frameworks, and financial systems.
The Problem In Plain View
Real estate transactions haven’t changed much in decades. Lawyers spend weeks reviewing similar contracts. Buyers and sellers wait for manual verification at each stage. Documents get duplicated across parties who all keep their own records. Everyone knows the system is inefficient, but the industry’s fragmented structure has made comprehensive solutions nearly impossible to implement.
Temel identified the technical path forward. The tools existed AI for legal language processing, blockchain for immutable records, smart contracts for automated execution. Nobody had combined them specifically for real estate in a way that actually worked at scale.
The Redditus platform treats transactions as unified workflows rather than disconnected steps. Temel’s architecture uses language models to draft and review documents, automates compliance checking, and executes agreements through smart contracts when conditions are met. Multilingual capabilities handle international transactions. The platform runs on Polygon PoS, a deliberate choice about transaction costs and energy consumption, not just picking the biggest blockchain.
Engineering Architecture and Market Validation
Mr. Temel made architectural decisions that separate production infrastructure from experimental software. The blockchain isn’t the centerpiece, it’s one component in a system built for reliability, security, and accessibility.
Polygon Proof-of-Stake was selected after his multi-year cost and energy optimization studies. The Redditus Token (RDT) economy follows transparent fee structures with regulatory safeguards aligned with FCA Innovation Pathways and U.S. sandbox frameworks.
The smart-contract layer went through independent security audits by OpenZeppelin, Slither, and Certik. That’s institutional-grade scrutiny. The audits confirmed the platform’s ability to handle complex multi-party agreements, escrow operations, and conditional transfers.
Hezarfen LLC holds the U.S. provisional patent (filed June 2025) for Redditus’s AI-driven legal-financial automation model. International extensions are progressing through WIPO. The intellectual property strategy protects innovation while keeping the system transparent for users.
The platform has processed thousands of real-estate transactions with zero data-integrity breaches and zero downtime, verified during the 2025 audit cycle. Over 2,500 active users across multiple countries represent sustained adoption, not just early speculation. Venture capital interest and regulatory sandbox positioning indicate institutional stakeholders see Redditus as credible infrastructure, not a startup experiment.
Working alongside co-founders Rama Mousali, who manages software development, and Yakup Kurt, who handles UI/UX design, Temel built a technical team capable of executing his architectural vision at scale.
Industry Leadership Beyond Product
Temel’s work extends past the Hezarfen codebase. As an IEEE Senior Member (Region 6, Seattle Section), he holds positions on the External Advisory Board at Beykent University and contributes to the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). His work connects academic research, enterprise innovation, and policy discussions.
He mentors engineers through Ambition in Motion Alumni Mentorship and judges international events including Opportunity Hack 2025 and AI Dev Hack 2025, evaluating AI, robotics, and fintech projects. The repeated invitations reflect recognition of his technical and ethical expertise.
Under Temel’s technical direction, Hezarfen developed multilingual training programs and workshops for real-estate agents, lawyers, and investors across North America, Europe, and the Middle East. These sessions translate complex automation workflows into understandable frameworks. The goal is to make AI-driven automation accessible rather than creating new barriers.
The Global Recognition Awards 2025 evaluated Hezarfen across seventeen criteria including leadership, innovation, and educational impact. The company achieved top-tier ratings in every category. According to Alex Sterling, spokesperson for the Global Recognition Awards: “Hezarfen represents technology that solves genuine market problems while maintaining high standards of ethics, security, and education.”
Temel’s approach demonstrates what happens when technical capability meets real-world complexity, not just innovation, but infrastructure that works.
