Real estate
Residential blocks and light-industrial units with signed tenants. Rent clears monthly, after management and vacancy.
Openyield brings real-world assets and the yield they actually produce onchain — rent, coupons, interest, power sold to the grid — with the paperwork behind each one open to anyone who wants to check it.
01 — What backs the yield
Six kinds of real thing, each paying for a different reason. Yield is not a number we set — it is rent collected, coupons paid, loans repaid and power sold to a grid. Every position on Openyield points at one of these.

Residential blocks and light-industrial units with signed tenants. Rent clears monthly, after management and vacancy.

Metal in insured vaults, grain in bonded warehouses. The return comes from lending and storage spreads, not from betting on price.

Senior secured loans to businesses that already have revenue. Short terms, first claim on the collateral if things go wrong.

Short-dated government bills held by a regulated custodian. The dull, liquid corner of a portfolio, and that is exactly the job it does.

Standing timber and verified removal credits on land held under long management contracts. Slow, seasonal, and measurable.

Solar farms, wind and grid storage selling power under contracts that run for a decade or more. Boring cash flows, long duration.
02 — How a position is born
Three moves, in order, and none of them hidden. The whole point of putting this onchain is that you can watch each one happen.
An asset is verified, valued by an independent party, and moved into a bankruptcy-remote entity. The wrapper, the custodian and the valuation date are published with it.
Nothing lists without an attestation.
Hold the position in a wallet you control. It settles onchain, so you can move it, split it or pledge it without filing a request and waiting on somebody else.
Access rules follow the asset, not the chain.
Yield arrives as it is collected in the real world. Rent clears, a coupon pays, an invoice settles, and the distribution follows the same week.
Paid from cash flow. Never from new deposits.
03 — Transparency
A tokenised asset is still a building with a leaking roof, or a pallet of metal on a shelf. Nothing about it disappears into the chain. Openyield keeps both halves in view: the file and the thing.
The fileSigned, dated, and hashed on the day they are issued. Fetch the document, hash it yourself, compare it to what the registry recorded. If the two disagree, you found something, and so will everyone else.
Every listing names its custodian, its address and its inspection schedule. Tokenisation changes who can hold a claim on the asset. It does not change the asset.
Most of the world’s value has never been onchain. Not because it did not want to be, but because the plumbing was not there — the custody, the attestations, the boring legal wrapper that makes a claim mean something. That is the part we are building.
04 — Straight answers
Tenants, borrowers, governments and power buyers. Someone writes a cheque every month because they are using a building, servicing a loan, or taking electricity off a grid connection.
If an asset cannot name who pays and why, it does not get listed. Nothing here pays yield out of new deposits.
Recovery follows the same law it always did. The servicer enforces the security off-chain and the outcome is written back to the position.
Losses are real and they are yours in proportion to what you hold. We publish the workout while it is happening rather than after it is settled.
It depends on the asset. Treasuries and vaulted metal trade continuously. Property and infrastructure carry notice periods, because a warehouse cannot be liquidated in an afternoon.
Every listing states its exit terms before you buy, not after.
A regulated custodian or a bankruptcy-remote entity, one per asset, never Openyield’s own balance sheet. The token is a claim on that entity, and that entity attests on a fixed schedule.
Access rules follow the asset, not the chain. Some listings are open to anyone with a wallet; others are restricted by the jurisdiction the asset sits in. The listing tells you which before you connect anything.
Ownership, transfers, distributions and the hash of every attestation are onchain. The documents themselves sit in storage you can fetch and hash yourself.
The chain is the register. It was never meant to be the archive.
Start with ten dollars of treasury bills or a slice of a warehouse in Rotterdam. The plumbing underneath is the same.
