Tokenomics and Economic Model
LandFi’s tokenomics are structured to prioritise long-term sustainability, community participation, and genuine utility — while avoiding speculative models or passive income promises. LND is a utility token that powers access to participation pools, DAO governance, staking incentives, and platform-based features — with real-world value contributed through treasury strategies, not asset ownership.
Rather than relying on volatile DeFi mechanics, LandFi uses a dual-layer model of staking, on-chain participation, and revenue-linked contributions from affiliated real-world businesses, beginning with the Property Operations Company.
1. Staking Mechanics
LND holders can stake their tokens in a variety of thematically structured pools. These pools simulate different types of property and asset cycles while rewarding active engagement:
Pool Type
Purpose
Auction Flip Pools
Simulate land flip cycles and fast resale windows
Rental Exposure Pools
Model USDC yield linked to simulated rental flow
Simulated or International Bundles
RWA-inspired pools not tied to specific ownership
Seasonal / Special Campaigns
Limited-time staking events tied to real-world or thematic moments
Most pools operate in 30–60 day cycles, with new options regularly introduced based on DAO feedback and ecosystem milestones.
2. Reward Distribution Models
Rewards vary by pool and are always earned through participation — never granted passively or guaranteed. Current models include:
LND Token Redistribution Fixed-token pools distribute LND to stakers from the platform’s pre-allocated rewards pool.
Buy-Back and Burn Events When available, treasury contributions from the Property Operations Company may be used to repurchase LND from the market and burn it — supporting price stability and long-term scarcity.
USDC Payout Pools Certain pools offer real-yield in USDC, funded by the Property Operations Company’s voluntary contributions. These pools are accessible only to users who stake and accumulate a qualifying amount of LND — reinforcing long-term engagement.
Participation-Based Bonuses Users may earn additional rewards by contributing to community growth — e.g. DAO voting, content creation, referrals, or completing gamified missions.
All pool mechanics are governed by smart contracts — with transparent reward structures visible on-chain and controlled by DAO voting and platform logic.
3. Ecosystem Contributions from Real-Word Activity
While LND does not represent ownership in any business or asset, LandFi allocates up to 20% of raised capital to stake in the Property Operations Company — which acquires, sells, and manages property and land.
This stake is reviewed annually by the DAO, at which point it can be:
Re-staked in the same business
Reallocated into other approved RWA operators
Split across multiple real-world projects for risk-managed diversification
In return, LandFi may receive up to 30% of revenue contributions from the Property Operations Company, which are used to support the on-chain ecosystem through:
USDC staking pool top-ups
LND buyback-and-burn events
Contributions to the DAO’s BTC reserve vault
Funding for ecosystem campaigns or grants
These contributions are discretionary and performance-linked, made at the company's sole discretion — and are never promised to token holders. Token rewards are framed as participation benefits, not revenue rights.
4. Strategic Treasury & Bitcoin Reserve
To ensure treasury strength over time, the DAO may allocate a portion of its holdings into assets such as BTC or USDC — held transparently in multi-sig or smart contract-controlled wallets.
The BTC reserve (if activated by the DAO):
Acts as a decentralised store of value and hedge
May be used during bear markets to support rewards or strategic actions
Will always be governed by DAO voting, with clear, auditable usage
This reserve is drawn from the DAO’s token allocation and is intended to secure the ecosystem long-term without speculative risk.
5. Two-Stage Staking Flow (LND → USDC)
LandFi’s tokenomics include a two-tier staking model designed to encourage loyalty, reduce manipulation, and sustain a fixed-supply ecosystem:
Stage 1: Loyalty Staking
Users stake LND to earn additional LND over time
These LND rewards are drawn from a pre-allocated pool (not inflationary)
This process builds long-term holding and user commitment
Stage 2: Real-Yield Access
Users can now use their accumulated LND to enter premium staking pools
These pools offer USDC rewards, backed by off-chain ecosystem contributions
Only users who have participated in Stage 1 can access these stable pools — ensuring fair, earned access
Benefits of this system:
Reduces short-term “whale” manipulation
Creates real incentive for ongoing participation
Increases organic demand for LND without minting more supply
Keeps ecosystem compliant by ensuring yield is tied to active effort, not passive expectation
This structure reinforces that LND is a participation-first, utility-driven token, designed to reward commitment, align with real-world contribution cycles, and evolve as a flexible treasury deployment platform for RWA businesses.
