Use case: tokenised real estate development via Orbit Finance

The project

A property developer identifies an opportunity in Dubai to build a resort with serviced apartments. The total project size is $10 million.

The developer commits $3 million of their own capital, retaining 30% ownership.

The remaining $7 million is opened to outside investors, who collectively own 70% of the project.

The investment is structured with:

  • A minimum entry of $50,000

  • A target monthly yield of 8% once development begins

  • Clear ownership rights tied directly to the underlying property project

This project is not abstract or speculative. It is a real company and a real asset with a defined timeline, budget and revenue model.

Tokenisation and pool setup

The project is tokenised on Orbit Finance. Each token [10 million tokens for example] represents a proportional ownership claim on the development and its future cash flows. To raise capital, the developer uses Orbit Finance to launch a bid-heavy pool specifically designed for capital formation.

Why bid-heavy?

A bid-heavy pool places liquidity below the current price, meaning:

  • Capital flows in from buyers

  • There is no speculative selling pressure

  • Price remains stable during fundraising

  • Investors accumulate ownership rather than trade against each other

This pool is locked. Tokens cannot be freely traded, removed or sold until the fundraising goal is reached.

This prevents:

  • Early exits

  • Price manipulation

  • Liquidity drain

  • Any form of rug behaviour

The pool exists for one purpose only: capital formation.

Fees during fundraising

During this phase, no trading fees are charged to investors.

The only fee applied is the Orbit Finance protocol fee:

  • 2% base fee

  • Of that, 12.5% goes to the protocol

Example:

  • For every $10,000 invested, the normal fee would be $200

  • Orbit Finance takes 12.5% of that, which is $25

  • Across a $10 million project, Orbit Finance earns $25,000

This fee covers infrastructure, security, governance oversight and lifecycle management.

Importantly:

  • No issuer fees

  • No hidden spreads

  • No trading incentives yet

Investors are purely funding the asset.

Reaching the target and unlocking the protocol

Once the $7 million target is fully raised, the protocol transitions the asset to the next phase.

This transition is not manual and not controlled by the developer.

Orbit Finance:

  • Closes the bid-heavy fundraising pool

  • Locks the raised capital under predefined rules

  • Verifies that conditions are met on-chain

  • Enforces the next step via protocol logic and DAO oversight

At this point, the asset is considered funded but protected. Funds cannot be arbitrarily withdrawn. They are allocated according to the project’s predefined budget and milestones.

Opening the trading market

After the fundraising phase ends, Orbit Finance automatically opens an earlier defined Spot pool for the token.

This spot pool:

  • Is publicly tradable

  • Represents real ownership in the property project

  • Is backed by the underlying asset and company

  • Allows investors to enter or exit at market prices

The liquidity for this pool comes from:

  • A predefined portion of the raised funds

  • Optional additional liquidity provided by the issuer or LPs

This is where price discovery begins.

Fees and trading after launch

Once trading opens:

  • The spot pool applies a 2% base fee [read more here: Fee structure]

  • A dynamic fee adjusts based on volatility and market conditions

Fees are now distributed between:

  • Liquidity providers

  • The protocol

  • Optional issuer allocations if defined upfront

Investors who want to exit early can sell. New investors can buy exposure without participating in the original raise. This creates real liquidity not a forced lock-in.

Yield and investor experience

As development progresses:

  • Project revenues begin flowing

  • Monthly yield is distributed according to ownership

  • Investors receive returns independent of secondary market price

An investor now has two options:

  1. Hold tokens and receive yield

  2. Sell tokens on the open market

Both are valid. Neither harms the project or other investors.

Why this does not rug traders

This structure prevents rugs by design.

  • Fundraising liquidity is locked

  • Trading is disabled until funding is complete

  • Capital use is predefined and enforceable

  • Pool transitions are protocol-controlled

  • DAO governance oversees unlocking and changes

  • Liquidity removal rules are transparent and enforced

The developer cannot:

  • Pull liquidity early

  • Dump tokens during fundraising

  • Change rules after the fact

  • Access funds outside agreed conditions

Orbit Finance acts as the neutral execution layer, not a middleman.
