Massive Economic Savings

The numbers tell a story of liberation from systematic extraction. Each property transaction currently costs \$67,155—16.3\% of the average \$412,000 home value. Under the Elephant protocol, this plummets to \$7,145, just 1.7\% of home value. For individual families, this \$60,010 per-transaction savings represents over one year of pre-tax median household income freed from intermediary capture. Nationally, \$205.2 billion annually redirects from friction to productivity.

The macroeconomic multiplier effects compound these direct savings. According to standard economic multipliers used by the Congressional Budget Office, infrastructure and efficiency improvements generate 0.6-0.9x GDP impact through increased consumption and investment. The \$205.2 billion in annual savings thus contributes approximately \$123-185 billion in additional economic activity. As a fraction of GDP, this represents roughly 0.75\% of additional growth—a massive stimulus achieved not through government spending but through efficiency gains.

Capital reallocation fundamentally shifts from rent-seeking to value creation. The \$97 billion currently captured by commission-based gatekeeping redirects toward property improvements, new construction, and productive investment. The \$77.3 billion hidden in rate manipulations returns to borrowers as increased purchasing power and reduced debt burdens. Every dollar freed from extraction multiplies through the economy as families spend on education, healthcare, and quality of life rather than transaction friction.

The Elephant protocol is also significantly deflationary—reducing transaction costs, lowering borrowing costs, and alleviating upward pressure on house prices. When transaction friction drops from 16.3\% to 1.7\%, properties can trade at their true values rather than inflated prices needed to cover excessive transaction costs. This deflationary effect compounds over time, making housing more affordable without requiring price controls or subsidies.
