Executive Summary

In the stagnant real estate landscape, integrating blockchain technology presents a transformative opportunity for
property investment and ownership. Existing tokenization models targeting US properties are high-risk investments
with a nebulous future depending on SEC lawsuits and regulations. trust3 emerges as a pioneering platform at the
intersection of blockchain and Triple Net (NNN) real estate. It offers a revolutionary approach to property
tokenization and fractionalized ownership by creating bespoke, ‘decentralized autonomous organizations’ (DAOs)
paired with Tenancy In Common (TIC) administration.

This whitepaper outlines the vision, technology, and business model implemented to democratize real estate
investment and redefine ownership paradigms. It includes an overview of the technical architecture that underpins
the platform, highlighting its robust security measures, compliance with regulatory standards, and interoperability
with existing blockchain ecosystems.

Profit-yielding investment properties are traditionally accessible only to select investors due to substantial capital
requirements and liquidity constraints. Traditionally solved using TIC laws, trust3 pairs digital distributed ownership
with RWA (Real World Assets) distributed ownership to solve inherent problems the other faces. Innovative use of
distributed ledger technology and other key token standards empowers communities by enabling collective
decision-making and management of property investments. trust3 utilizes smart contracts on the blockchain to
ensure transparency, security, and efficiency in property tokenization processes. 

trust3 is at the forefront of a new era in real estate investment. By harnessing the power of cutting-edge technology,
trust3 offers a scalable, accessible, and efficient platform for property tokenization and fractionalized ownership.
This makes real estate investment more inclusive and empowers communities through DAOs. 

trust3 invites investors, property owners, and blockchain enthusiasts to join the company in shaping the future of
ownership.

Trust3 Overview
Trust3 is an organization delivering premium real-estate assets to investors interested in exploring decentralized

Market Analysis
A • G lobal Real state Market verview
E O

The global real estate market, valued in the trillions of dollars, is a cornerstone of economic stability and growth,
representing a significant portion of worldwide assets and wealth. It encompasses residential, commercial,
industrial, and land real estate, each segment exhibiting its own trends, challenges, and opportunities. 

As urbanization continues, especially in emerging economies, the demand for all types of real estate is expected to
rise, driven by factors such as population growth, economic development, and the increasing need for infrastructure
and housing.

However, the global real estate market is not without its challenges and inefficiencies, which can hinder investment
and ownership opportunities.

Some of these challenges include:

High ntry Barriers


E

Real estate investing typically requires substantial capital, making it difficult for average investors to participate. This
entry barrier is much higher for larger, more lucrative investments in commercial real estate or ‘Triple Net Properties’
(NNN). The high cost of entry limits market access to wealthy individuals and institutional investors, leaving a
significant portion of the population without the means to invest in real estate.

Collaborate with regulatory bodies and industry stakeholders to establish standards and guidelines for tokenized real estate investment

Lack of Liquidity
Real estate assets are inherently illiquid compared to stocks, bonds, or even cryptocurrencies making it challenging
to quickly buy or sell properties without a substantial impact on their market value. This illiquidity can deter
investors seeking flexibility and quick access to their capital.

Complexity and Opacity


The process of buying, selling, or investing in real estate involves numerous steps, including legal, regulatory, and
financial procedures, which can be complex and opaque. The lack of transparency and standardized processes can
increase the risk of fraud and mismanagement.

Geographical Limitations
Traditional real estate investment is often geographically constrained, limiting investors to local or national markets.
This restriction prevents diversification across different real estate markets and hampers the ability to capitalize on
global trends or target rapidly growing regional markets.

Inefficient Management and Ownership Structures


Traditional real estate investment structures can be inefficient, with high management fees and operational costs.
Additionally, these structures often do not provide investors with direct control over their investments, leading to
potential misalignment of interests between property managers and owners.

• How Can the Real Estate Market be Improved?

To make real estate investing more accessible, efficient, and equitable for all investors, the pain-points mentioned

above need to be addressed. 

Trust3 is building to meet these needs, with a foundation focused on these core principles and concepts, such as:

Lowering Entry Barriers


Developing solutions that allow for fractional ownership can democratize access to real estate investments, enabling
more people to participate with smaller amounts of capital.

Improving Liquidity
Introducing platforms that facilitate the buying and selling of real estate or real estate-backed assets through digital
assets can enhance market liquidity, making it easier for investors to enter and exit positions.

Increasing Transparency and Standardization


Leveraging blockchain technology to record and track real estate transactions can improve transparency, reduce the
risk of fraud, and standardize processes across the industry.

Expanding eographical Access


G

Utilizing online platforms and blockchain technology can enable investors to easily access and invest in real estate
markets globally, fostering diversification and exposure to international growth opportunities .

O ptimizing Management and wnership


O

Implementing decentralized autonomous organizations (DA s) for real estate management can streamline
O

operations, reduce costs, and align the interests of investors and managers through smart contracts and collective
decision-making processes .

Addressing these gaps requires innovative approaches and the adoption of new technologies, such as blockchain,
which Trust3 aims to leverage in order to transform the global real estate market, making it more accessible,
efficient, and aligned with the needs of modern investors.

C • Competitive Landscape
The concept of Real World Assets (RWA) and real estate tokenization, while not a novel idea, represents a
burgeoning market with immense potential that has yet to be fully harnessed. In the latter half of 2023 , the RWA
sector
BB within the blockchain industry attracted lots of speculative hype and attention from investors. Major
investment funds banks and investment funds are now looking to cash in on the promise of tokenizing ‘off-chain’
assets such as luxury goods, artwork, real estate, companies, and more.

The digital transformation of real estate assets into tokenized forms has opened up a new frontier for investment,
accessibility, and liquidity in the property market. However, the competitive landscape reveals that while several
players are vying to address the needs of this growing market, none have yet to fully capitalize on the vast
opportunities it presents.

D • The Current Competition


Property
Several platforms and projects have emerged as early movers in the real estate tokenization space, each offering
unique approaches to simplifying and democratizing access to real estate investments. These include blockchain-
based platforms that allow for the fractional ownership of property, crowdfunding real estate investment platforms
that have begun exploring tokenization, and startups dedicated to creating marketplaces for tokenized property
assets.

Despite the diversity of solutions, common offerings among competitors typically involve some form of fractional
ownership, increased liquidity through secondary market trading, and the promise of lower barriers to entry for
investors.

While the aforementioned competitors have made strides in bringing real estate tokenization to the market, the full
potential of this area remains largely untapped. 

Several factors contribute to this observation:

Limited Market Reach


Many existing platforms have focused on specific geographic regions or types of properties, limiting their appeal to
a global investor base or to those interested in a diverse portfolio of real estate assets.

Regulatory Navigation
The complexity of navigating regulatory environments across different jurisdictions has been a significant hurdle,
slowing down the adoption and scaling of real estate tokenization solutions.

While the technical capabilities of blockchain are advancing rapidly, the seemingly unfriendly regulatory climate for
securities and digital assets around the world has led most investors to believe that we are currently early to the real
estate tokenization party.

Technology
BB Integration
The integration of advanced blockchain technologies, including smart contracts and DAOs for property
management and governance, is still in its nascent stages. The ability to seamlessly merge these technologies with
traditional real estate processes has yet to be fully realized.

Furthermore, current offerings are needlessly overcomplicated and geared towards blockchain-savvy individuals,
while ignoring the needs of the common investor.

Market Education and Adoption


Property
Educating the market and encouraging the adoption of tokenized real estate investments among traditional
investors and property owners remains a challenge. 

Overcoming skepticism and building trust in digital assets as a legitimate and secure form of investment is crucial
for widespread acceptance.

Lack of Quality Properties


Perhaps the most glaring need for current competitors is the lack of lucrative investment properties that are not
typically available to everyday investors. Current real estate tokenization platforms are replete with tokenized
timeshares and small houses, but these platforms are missing the mark when it comes to capitalizing on NNN
properties or valuable commercial real estate.

E • Opportunities For Trust3

Given the landscape, Trust3 is positioned to differentiate itself by addressing these gaps and capitalizing on the
untapped potential of the real estate tokenization market. Trust3's approach can focus on offering a globally
accessible platform that simplifies regulatory compliance, leverages cutting-edge blockchain technology for
seamless integration, and prioritizes market education to build trust and adoption.

Furthermore, Trust3 can lead the way in establishing interoperability standards and fostering a vibrant ecosystem for
tokenized real estate assets. Trust3 is also aiming to place an emphasis on tokenizing commercial real estate and
NNN properties that were previously inaccessible to regular, everyday retail investors. With a pipeline of impressive
properties, Trust3 is in an advantageous position to overshadow the current tokenized real estate marketplace
platform space. In conclusion, while the competition in the real estate tokenization space signifies a growing

BB
interest and investment in this innovative approach, the journey to fully unlocking its potential is still underway. 

Trust3 has the opportunity to spearhead this evolution by delivering comprehensive, accessible, and technologically
advanced solutions that meet the market's needs and exceed the offerings of current competitors, especially in the
sphere of commercial real estate and NNN properties.

Trust3 Products & Services


Commercial Real Estate Tokenization
The trust3 platform
Property is catered towards tokenized offerings of Triple Net (NNN) commercial real estate properties. The
initial launch begins with the tokenization of three properties owned by one of the trust3 core contributors. 

All properties listed are debt-free and cashflow positive, holding long-term leases with the tenants. This offers a low-
risk investment that generates actual income for any token holder.

Commercial real estate owners that tokenize their properties are granted an avenue to extract some capital from a
traditionally illiquid asset in a secure and compliant manner.

All properties undergo the same tokenization process, where a DAO corporate entity is established, funds are raised
to purchase the property, and ownership is transferred to the DAO through the trust3 platform.

estate investment vehicles, such as REITs

The platform's focus on high-quality, income-generating properties and the efficiency gains from tokenization contribute to

the potential for enhanced returns.

Business Model

The trust3 business model is rooted in tokenization services for commercial real estate, creating a frictionless

experience for everything that follows. The platform offers three primary products that tackle widespread

problems in the real estate investing landscape.

A — Tokenization Fees

Real estate tokenization will aggregate seller fees and offer a competitive alternative based on current industry

averages, eliminating the need to pay for additional services. The platform accepts a 2-3% aggregate fee from the

tokenization of a commercial real estate property. This aggregate fee offsets traditional structures that include agent

fees, closing fees, commissions, and escrow fees. The platform automates all these services, allowing property

owners to sell a part or all of their property to investors while saving upfront costs. 

Fees are paid to the platform in the form of an aggregate service fee, which is taken from the total liquidity raised for

the property, and a closing fee, which is taken from a portion of the token equity representing ownership of the

property.

B — Yield Management Fees

Each tokenized property on the trust3 platform is a Triple Net (NNN), cashflow-positive business that generates

reliable revenue. The lessees are responsible for all management expenses aside from structural building

maintenance, meaning little monthly cost to the DAO for property management fees. The platform allocates a small

portion of this income into the DAO treasury to accumulate funds for future expenses that the DAO may incur.

The platform’s automated yield management feature charges a fee to facilitate the distribution of revenue from the

lessee to individual DAO members. The fees offset the company's costs for using crypto-to-fiat offramps.

C — Cashout Refinancing Monetization


Each property DAO may vote to use cash-out refinancing to put a mortgage on the debt-free property and use the
capital to purchase additional commercial real estate properties. The newly acquired property will be added to the
DAO’s portfolio as an additional asset held and managed by the members of the DAO, granting tokenized ownership
to two or more properties. 

The additional properties are transferred into the DAO’s ownership and are subject to split between DAO token
holders. Therefore, the additional property is not being further tokenized, and the acquisition is subject to traditional
commercial real estate fees. The trust3 platform facilitates this purchase with agents, property managers, etc., and
takes a fee to facilitate this transaction.

Additionally, income generated by this property is subject to management fees in the same structure as the original
tokenized property.

D — Secondary Market Fees


The platform serves as the primary market for trading property tokens created by trust3. The marketplace allows
Peer-to-Peer transactions of these tokens with appropriate commissions and premiums.

Regulatory Environment and Compliance

A — Legal Structure and Compliance Strategies

trust3's legal structure and compliance strategy are meticulously designed to align with current regulatory
frameworks governing digital assets and real estate investments. Central to this approach is establishing a robust
legal foundation that not only adheres to but anticipates changes in legislation related to blockchain and
tokenization. By proactively engaging with regulatory bodies and leveraging legal expertise in securities, real estate
law, and digital assets, trust3 ensures continuous compliance. This strategy includes regular audits, transparent
communication with stakeholders, and adaptive measures to address evolving legal standards, ensuring trust3's
operations remain within the bounds of regulatory requirements while fostering innovation in real estate investment.

B — Addressing Regulatory Challenges in Tokenization

Addressing the regulatory challenges in tokenization involves navigating the complexities of securities laws and
ensuring compliance with financial regulations. trust3 proactively collaborates with regulatory authorities to clarify
the status of tokenized real estate assets and implements rigorous compliance protocols. This includes conducting
thorough legal analyses to structure tokens that meet the criteria for non-securities or comply with securities
regulations when necessary. By staying at the forefront of legal developments and employing a compliance-first
approach, trust3 ensures that its tokenization practices align with current regulatory standards, safeguarding both
the platform and its investors.

C — Data Protection and Privacy Measures

trust3 prioritizes protecting investor data and privacy, implementing state-of-the-art security measures in line with
global standards, such as GDPR and CCPA. The platform employs encryption, anonymization, and secure data
storage practices to safeguard personal and financial information. Regular security audits and compliance checks
ensure that data protection measures are continuously updated and effective, maintaining the trust and
confidentiality that investors expect from a leading blockchain real estate investment platform.
