What Are Royalty Tokens?
If you have ever wanted to own a piece of real estate without all the complexity, Royalty Tokens are about to become your new favorite asset class.
The Simple Explanation
A Royalty Token is a blockchain-based token that represents ownership of a percentage of a property's rental revenue.
Property generates rent
Tenants pay monthly
Revenue is captured
Automatically on-chain
Converted to USDC
Stable, spendable
Airdropped to you
Every month, automatically
No voting rights. No board meetings. No operational headaches. Just cash flow.
Step 1
Revenue Capture
Rental income is captured automatically through smart contracts—before the property manager even receives the funds.
Step 2
Stablecoin Conversion
Rental payments are immediately converted to USDC stablecoins. Stable value, ready to spend or reinvest.
Step 3
Monthly Airdrops
Dividends are airdropped directly to your wallet every month. No claiming required. No gas fees. It just shows up.
Step 4
Trade Anytime
Unlike traditional real estate, Royalty Tokens are tradeable on DEXs. Want to exit? Just sell. No lockups, no waiting.
Royalty Tokens vs Traditional Equity
| Feature | Traditional Equity | Royalty Tokens |
|---|---|---|
| Dilution Risk | High risk from fundraising rounds | Fixed % of revenue, no dilution |
| Cash Flow | No guaranteed returns | Monthly stablecoin dividends |
| Control | Voting rights (meaningless for small holders) | No operational responsibility |
| Liquidity | Locked until sale/exit | Trade anytime on DEXs |
| Complexity | Legal overhead, paperwork, meetings | Own tokens, earn yield. Simple. |

How Your Investment is Protected
The Mechanics Behind Estate Royalty
Real-world properties generate rental income → Tenants pay rent through regulated payment providers and property managers.
Income is converted to on-chain value → Rental payments are converted to USD-denominated stablecoins through licensed exchanges.
Smart contracts enforce distribution rules → Vault contracts automatically distribute royalties according to priority (Senior → Junior → Reserve).
LP tokens are held by the protocol → You never directly interact with liquidity pools. The protocol manages all DeFi complexity on your behalf.
What This Means For You
- All flows are transparent and auditable on-chain
- Distribution rules cannot be changed without governance approval
- No hidden fees or fund manager discretion
- Monthly reports with full breakdown of income sources
- Direct claim to underlying property value through SPV structure
