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 independent, off‑chain RWA operators.
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 RWA operators 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 USDC rewards, funded by voluntary contributions from off‑chain RWA partners. 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 independent RWA operators that acquire, sell, and manage 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 these operators, 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/ETH/LND/USDC 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 (BTC/ETH/LND/USDC) Reserve
To ensure treasury strength over time, the DAO may allocate a portion of its holdings into assets such as BTC, ETH, LND or USDC - held transparently in multi-sig or smart contract-controlled wallets.
The Strategic Treasury Reserve:
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
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
6. Developer Salaries and Token Allocation
To ensure LandFi’s long‑term development and operational stability, the core development team are retained on a fixed salary rather than relying solely on token appreciation. In addition to their salaries, a clearly defined token allocation (vested) has been set aside for the development team.
These measures demonstrate that LandFi is designed and resourced as a sustainable, long‑term project rather than a short‑term initiative
7. Underlying Operations and Staking Entity
LandFi staking pools will initially be linked to our first operational entity, LND Holdings L.L.C‑FZ, a newly formed property operations company. LND Holdings will manage the acquisition, sale, and management of property assets in line with LandFi’s business model.
Although LND Holdings itself is newly incorporated, it is led by a team with an extensive track record in the same business model. The director of LND Holdings has over 30 years of experience in property investing, property sales, and property management, and the wider operational team has been running similar strategies successfully for many years.
To support growth, a UK subsidiary of LND Holdings has been established to handle certain operational and regulatory functions.
Investors and community members who would like to learn more about the operational structure or track record are welcome to contact the team directly at hello@landfi.io.
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.
