Introduction
Blockchain technology has brought about many new ways for investors to earn
yields, and in most cases, they far exceed those offered by traditional financial
institutions. However, the higher reward also carries a higher risk – rug pulls,
exit scams, and plummeting assets. Many crypto projects rely on new investors
to pay their existing ones – an unsustainable model akin to a Ponzi scheme.

What sets Landshare apart from other projects is simple – we have real world,
tangible real estate assets generating yields for our investors. By creating a
bridge between the blockchain and a traditional market, Landshare establishes a
new paradigm in the cryptocurrency space. The reliability of real estate is
combined with the superior investment returns of cryptocurrency, creating a
platform that offers the best of both worlds.

How Landshare Works


On a basic level, Landshare works like any other yield farming platform: you
stake your tokens and earn rewards. What makes Landshare unique is that
behind the scenes, the money is being used to generate yields from real world
assets. In essence, you are buying a “share” of our properties, and the money
earned from renting out the properties is passed back to you. Please note,
participation in Landshare does not constitute legal ownership of any properties
or organizations affiliated with Landshare.

Other features of the Landshare platform include the Landshare Token, token
staking, automatic buyback mechanics and our environmental initiatives, all of
which will be covered in this Whitepaper. Roadmapped features include cross-
chain support, crowdfunded house flipping, a governance protocol, entry into
other markets (i.e., Airbnb), and further charitable initiatives.

Landshare Property Vault
The flagship feature of the Landshare platform is the Property Vault. The
Property Vault is a BUSD-based vault capped at the total value
of Landshare properties. Investing in the vault is akin to buying a “share” of the
property, entitling you to a proportional amount of its generated profit paid out in
BUSD as well as additional Landshare token payouts.

The vault’s capacity is capped at the total value of our properties, so your
investment is 100% collateralized and guaranteed. Landshare never takes in
more BUSD from investors than it can collateralize with real estate assets.

50% of the vault’s funds are contractually locked. The other 50% will be
accessible by the Landshare team for the purpose of acquisition and expansion.
This process is 100% transparent, and all purchases will be announced to the
community, including proof of acquisition and price. For the safety of our
tenants, property addresses will not be shared publicly.

Staking in the Property Vault requires a 3-month commitment. This requirement


allows the Landshare team to plan the use of vault funds responsibly. Please
note, all additional deposits from the same address will renew the 3-month
commitment of all funds.

3
Dual-Reward System
The Property Vault offers a dual-reward system: stablecoin (BUSD) payouts
and Lanshare Token payouts.

+
Stablecoin payouts are simple: the Landshare team will take all the money
generated from rental payments, deduct property taxes, insurance and
maintenance costs, and pass the rest back into the vault in the form of BUSD.
You will be entitled to a payout proportional to your percentage share of the
vault.

Property Vault stakers will also earn Landshare Tokens. The number
of Landshare tokens you receive will vary based on the price of the token and
the current stablecoin payout. The Landshare team aims to give total returns
(BUSD + Landshare Token) competitive with other stablecoin staking platforms.
The “on-paper” yield does not include property appreciation, which is another
major source of potential growth for our investors.

Property Appreciation
Although property values fluctuate like any other asset, they tend to follow a
clear trend: up. In the United States, national appreciation values average
around 3.5% to 3.8% annually.

Even after adjusting for inflation, home values in the United States have
increased consistently for over 50 years. Real estate is simply one of the most
reliable investments you can make. Investing in Landshare allows you to take
advantage of this appreciation without having to purchase an entire property.

4
Each of our properties will be reappraised annually, and any increase in value
will be passed to all investors who have staked for 6 months or more.
In example, Landshare possesses properties worth a total of $1,000,000. After
one year, the properties are reappraised, and the new appraised value is
$1,038,000, an increase of $38,000 or 3.8%. The Property Vault’s total capacity
will be increased to $1,038,000, and every investor who has been staking at
least 6 months will also see their principal investment go up 3.8%.

Landshare Token
The Landshare Token is the native token of the Landshare platform. This token
will be used as a reward for stakers and will grant priority access to several high
yield vaults in the future. A token governance feature will debut after launch,
allowing token holders to vote on important operational decisions. The
Landshare token does not represent ownership of Landshare properties, or any
organizations affiliated with Landshare.

5
The Landshare token features a daily buyback mechanic. A percentage of the
platform’s TVL will be used to purchase the token on the open market and those
tokens will be distributed to stakers. In addition to the automatic daily buyback,
the Landshare team will conduct discretionary token buyback-and-burns in
order to keep the total supply under the cap of 10 million Landshare Tokens.

When the governance protocol launches, buyback funds will enter a reserve
fund and token holders will be able to vote on how to use those funds. More
details on this feature can be seen in the governance protocol section.

Donations
The Donate feature allows our community to give back while also serving as a
deflationary mechanic. The Landshare Team will accept donations in the form
of Landshare Tokens, 50% of which will be burned. The total USD value of the
donations will be matched by 25%, and the money will be sent to an
environmental or housing-related charity.

Staking
In addition to the Property Vault, Landshare also features a LAND token staking
platform. Unlike the Property Vault, there is no limit to the number of tokens that
6
can be staked, and the APR will vary depending on the total number of tokens
being staked. The rewards for this pool are not minted, but rather are purchased
from the open market.

As explained above, no less than 10% of the Property Vault’s value will go
toward buying tokens for stakers annually. This number scales dynamically, so if
the size of the Property Vault increases, you will immediately begin to receive
higher yields. Payouts will happen once per day. There is a 1% deposit fee, all of
which will go back into the staking reward pool.

Access
Landshare Token holders will be granted priority access to high yield vaults
launching in the future. These vaults will offer higher returns but will only be
offered for a limited time and will have a limited capacity. Please see the
Upcoming Features section for more information.

Tokenomics
The supply cap for the Landshare Token is 10,000,000, with an initial circulating
supply of 400,000 and an initial market cap of $800,000 USD.

95% of the presale tokens and 100% of team tokens will be locked at launch.
After the initial mint, the only source of token minting is Property Vault payouts.
All other tokens provided as rewards will be from buybacks.

7
Presale and team tokens will follow a gradual unlock schedule, starting with a
5% initial presale unlock followed by a 10% Presale 1 unlock one month after
launch.

Upcoming Features
Landshare intends to launch Q3 2021 with the features outlined in this
whitepaper, but there are several upcoming features on the roadmap for 2022
and beyond.

House Flipping
The Landshare team will raise funds necessary to purchase, renovate, and resell
houses. Individuals who invest in the house flipping pools will receive a one-time
payout upon conclusion of the sale. Because we anticipate a high demand for
these pools, Landshare Token stakers will be given priority access.

Governance Protocol
A governance protocol will be implemented after launch, allowing token holders
to have a greater influence on the platform. The protocol will allow token holders
to vote on important operational decisions such as property acquisition and
resource allocation.

Land Tokens acquired via buyback will enter a reserve fund controlled by the
governance protocol. Voters will decide whether to use these funds for property
acquisition, token burning, partnerships, advertisements, or staking rewards.
8
Voters will also determine which charities our token burn fundraising events will
benefit.

Conclusion
The growth of cryptocurrency as a financial instrument is dependent upon new,
real world use cases, and Landshare brings real estate into the fold. Because we
operate in the real world, our investors will always have a source of income,
regardless of the state of the cryptocurrency market at large.
