Property Onboarding

Complete guide for property owners to tokenize property cash flows and manage yield distribution.

Who Is This For?

Property Owners - Want to raise capital by tokenizing future cash flows
Property Managers - Managing tokenized properties
Real Estate Companies - Looking to create liquid markets for their assets

Complete Onboarding Flow

( Required ) Property Information Ready

Before starting, prepare:

Property name (e.g., "Green Valley Apartment")
Token name (e.g., "Green Valley YRT")
Token symbol (e.g., "GV-YRT")
Initial supply (e.g., 1000 tokens)
Token price (e.g., 1 USDC per YRT)
Fundraising duration (e.g., 180 seconds for demo, 7,776,000 for 90 days)

Step 1: Create YRT Token

Understanding Parameters

function createSeries(
    string memory _name,                  // "Green Valley YRT"
    string memory _symbol,                // "GV-YRT"
    string memory _propertyName,          // "Green Valley Apartment"
    uint256 _initialSupply,               // 1000e18 (1000 tokens)
    address _underlyingToken,             // USDC address
    uint256 _tokenPrice,                  // 1e18 (1 USDC = 1 YRT)
    uint256 _fundraisingDuration          // 180 (seconds)
) external returns (uint256 seriesId)

Duration Examples:

Demo/Testing:
- 3 minutes = 180 seconds
- 10 minutes = 600 seconds

Production:
- 30 days = 2,592,000 seconds
- 90 days = 7,776,000 seconds
- 180 days = 15,552,000 seconds

Execute Creation

Using TypeScript/Frontend:

import { ethers } from "ethers";
import FactoryABI from "@/abis/YRTFactory.json";

const FACTORY_ADDRESS = "0x7698c369Cec5bFD14bFe9184ea19D644540f483b";
const USDC_ADDRESS = "0x70667aea00Fc7f087D6bFFB9De3eD95Af37140a4";

const factory = new ethers.Contract(FACTORY_ADDRESS, FactoryABI, signer);

// Create series
const tx = await factory.createSeries(
    "Green Valley YRT",                       // Token name
    "GV-YRT",                                 // Token symbol
    "Green Valley Apartment",                 // Property name
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("1000", 18),     // 1000 tokens
    USDC_ADDRESS,                             // Underlying token
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("1", 18),        // 1 USDC per token
    180                                       // 3 minutes (demo)
);

const receipt = await tx.wait();

// Get seriesId from event
const event = receipt.events?.find(e => e.event === "SeriesCreated");
const seriesId = event?.args?.seriesId;

console.log(`✅ Series created! ID: ${seriesId}`);

// Get YRT token address
const seriesInfo = await factory.seriesInfo(seriesId);
const yrtAddress = seriesInfo[0];

console.log(`YRT Token: ${yrtAddress}`);

What Happens:

New YRTToken contract deployed
1000 YRT minted to your address
Period 1 automatically started
Maturity date set (now + 180 seconds)
Returns seriesId (e.g., 1)

Step 2: Create DEX Pool

Why Create Pool?

Direct purchase is disabled. Users must buy via DEX for:

Fair price discovery
Liquidity incentives
Secondary market trading

Execute Pool Creation

import DexFactoryABI from "@/abis/OwnaFactory.json";

const DEX_FACTORY = "0xc493CC506aDF88A26cd72F45503D1DE6c3A085EF";

const dexFactory = new ethers.Contract(DEX_FACTORY, DexFactoryABI, signer);

// Create pool
const tx = await dexFactory.createPool(
    yrtAddress,                 // YRT token from Step 1
    USDC_ADDRESS,               // USDC
    "Green Valley Apartment"    // Property name
);

const receipt = await tx.wait();

// Get pool address from event
const event = receipt.events?.find(e => e.event === "PoolCreated");
const poolAddress = event?.args?.pool;

console.log(`✅ Pool created: ${poolAddress}`);

What Happens:

New OwnaPool contract deployed
Pair: YRT/USDC
Pool is empty (no liquidity yet)
Returns poolAddress

Step 3: Add Initial Liquidity

Understanding Initial Liquidity

Initial liquidity sets the starting price:

Price = Reserve_USDC / Reserve_YRT

Example:
500 YRT + 500 USDC → Price = 1 USDC/YRT
500 YRT + 1000 USDC → Price = 2 USDC/YRT
1000 YRT + 500 USDC → Price = 0.5 USDC/YRT

Recommended:

Add 50% of initial supply
Example: 1000 supply → add 500 YRT
Match with equal USDC value
Result: 1:1 starting price

Execute Liquidity Addition

import RouterABI from "@/abis/OwnaRouter.json";

const ROUTER = "0xE5b501b4d2CCD234FcD94906C561B8d5B1e4cEb7";

const router = new ethers.Contract(ROUTER, RouterABI, signer);
const yrt = new ethers.Contract(yrtAddress, ERC20_ABI, signer);
const usdc = new ethers.Contract(USDC_ADDRESS, ERC20_ABI, signer);

// Step 1: Approve tokens
await yrt.approve(ROUTER, ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18));
await usdc.approve(ROUTER, ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18));

console.log("✅ Tokens approved");

// Step 2: Add liquidity
const deadline = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 60 * 20; // 20 minutes

const tx = await router.addLiquidity(
    yrtAddress,
    USDC_ADDRESS,
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18),    // 500 YRT
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18),    // 500 USDC
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18),    // Min YRT (no slippage for first LP)
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18),    // Min USDC
    ownerAddress,                           // LP tokens recipient
    deadline,
    "Green Valley Apartment"
);

await tx.wait();

console.log("✅ Liquidity added!");
console.log("Pool state: 500 YRT + 500 USDC");
console.log("Starting price: 1 USDC/YRT");

What Happens:

500 YRT transferred to pool
500 USDC transferred to pool
You receive LP tokens
Pool is now active!
Users can start trading

Step 4: Fundraising Period

What Happens During Fundraising

Duration: 180 seconds (or configured duration)

Activities:
✅ Users can buy YRT on DEX
✅ Users can sell YRT on DEX
✅ Price changes based on supply/demand
✅ Trading volume accumulates
✅ Holder list changes dynamically

Restrictions:
❌ Cannot mint new tokens
❌ Cannot trigger snapshot yet
❌ Cannot deposit yield yet

Monitor Activity

Track pool state:

const pool = new ethers.Contract(poolAddress, PoolABI, provider);

// Get reserves
const reserves = await pool.getReserves();
console.log(`Reserve YRT: ${ethers.utils.formatUnits(reserves[0], 18)}`);
console.log(`Reserve USDC: ${ethers.utils.formatUnits(reserves[1], 18)}`);

// Calculate current price
const price = reserves[1] / reserves[0];
console.log(`Current price: ${price.toFixed(4)} USDC/YRT`);

Track token distribution:

const yrt = new ethers.Contract(yrtAddress, TokenABI, provider);

// Get current holders
const holdersCount = await yrt.getHoldersCount();
console.log(`Total holders: ${holdersCount}`);

// Get your balance
const balance = await yrt.balanceOf(ownerAddress);
console.log(`Your balance: ${ethers.utils.formatUnits(balance, 18)} YRT`);

Wait for Maturity

// Check maturity date
const maturityDate = await yrt.periodMaturityDate(1);
const now = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
const remaining = maturityDate - now;

console.log(`Time to maturity: ${remaining} seconds`);

if (remaining <= 0) {
    console.log("✅ Period matured! Ready for yield deposit");
}

Step 5: Deposit Yield

When to Deposit

Timing:

After maturity date reached
Before snapshot trigger
Recommended: 1-2 days before maturity for safety

Amount:

Based on property cash flow
Example: 50,000 USDC for quarterly rent collection

Execute Deposit

// Step 1: Approve USDC
const yieldAmount = ethers.utils.parseUnits("50000", 18); // 50k USDC

await usdc.approve(FACTORY_ADDRESS, yieldAmount);
console.log("✅ USDC approved");

// Step 2: Deposit yield
const tx = await factory.depositYield(
    seriesId,      // 1
    1,             // Period 1
    yieldAmount    // 50,000 USDC
);

await tx.wait();
console.log("✅ Yield deposited: 50,000 USDC");

What Happens:

50,000 USDC transferred from your wallet to factory
Yield recorded for Period 1
Ready for distribution after snapshot

Step 6: Snapshot & Distribution

Automatic Snapshot (Chainlink)

No action required!

Chainlink Automation will:

Monitor maturity date
Trigger snapshot automatically when:
- Maturity date reached ✅
- Yield deposited ✅
- Snapshot not taken yet ✅

Timeline:

Maturity date: Day 90, 00:00:00 UTC
Chainlink check: Every block (~2 seconds)
Snapshot trigger: Within minutes of maturity

Monitor snapshot:

// Check if snapshot taken
const snapshotTaken = await yrt.isSnapshotTakenForPeriod(1);

if (snapshotTaken) {
    console.log("✅ Snapshot taken!");

    // Get snapshot data
    const totalSupply = await yrt.getSnapshotTotalSupplyForPeriod(1);
    const holders = await yrt.getSnapshotHoldersForPeriod(1);

    console.log(`Snapshot total supply: ${ethers.utils.formatUnits(totalSupply, 18)}`);
    console.log(`Snapshot holders: ${holders.length}`);
}

Manual Distribution

After snapshot, you must trigger distribution:

import AutoDistributorABI from "@/abis/AutoDistributor.json";

const AUTO_DISTRIBUTOR = "0x8C9edAB077038B4f2e74d79663d79f3fc12Ca945";

const autoDistributor = new ethers.Contract(
    AUTO_DISTRIBUTOR,
    AutoDistributorABI,
    signer
);

// Distribute to all snapshot holders
const tx = await autoDistributor.distributeToAllHolders(
    seriesId,  // 1
    1          // Period 1
);

await tx.wait();

console.log("✅ Yield distributed to all holders!");

What Happens:

Gets snapshot holders list (frozen at maturity)
Calculates proportional yield for each holder
Transfers USDC to each holder automatically
Users receive USDC in wallets (no claim needed)

Example Distribution:

Total Yield: 50,000 USDC
Total Supply at Snapshot: 1000 YRT

Holders:
- Alice: 250 YRT (25%) → Receives: 12,500 USDC
- Bob: 200 YRT (20%) → Receives: 10,000 USDC
- Charlie: 150 YRT (15%) → Receives: 7,500 USDC
- You (owner): 400 YRT (40%) → Receives: 20,000 USDC

Step 7: Start New Period (Optional)

When to Start New Period

Typical schedule:

Period 1 (Q1): Jan-Mar → Distribute → Start Period 2
Period 2 (Q2): Apr-Jun → Distribute → Start Period 3
Period 3 (Q3): Jul-Sep → Distribute → Start Period 4
Period 4 (Q4): Oct-Dec → Distribute → End or continue

Execute New Period

// Calculate duration (90 days = 7,776,000 seconds)
const durationSeconds = 90 * 24 * 60 * 60; // 7,776,000

// Start Period 2
const tx = await factory.startNewPeriod(
    seriesId,           // 1
    durationSeconds     // 90 days
);

await tx.wait();

console.log("✅ Period 2 started!");
console.log(`Duration: 90 days (${durationSeconds} seconds)`);

// Check new maturity date
const yrt = new ethers.Contract(yrtAddress, TokenABI, provider);
const maturityDate = await yrt.periodMaturityDate(2);

console.log(`Period 2 maturity: ${new Date(maturityDate * 1000)}`);

Cycle repeats:

Fundraising period (90 days)
Deposit yield
Snapshot (automatic)
Distribution
Start Period 3...

Supply Expansion

When to Expand Supply

Allowed during GAP period:

After snapshot taken
Before next period starts

Use case:

Property generates more cash flow
Want to raise more capital
Expand tokenization

Execute Mint

// Check if in GAP period
const period2Started = await yrt.currentPeriod() === 2;
const period1Snapshot = await yrt.isSnapshotTakenForPeriod(1);

if (period1Snapshot && !period2Started) {
    console.log("✅ In GAP period, can mint");

    // Mint 500 more tokens
    const tx = await factory.mintTokens(
        seriesId,                              // 1
        ownerAddress,                          // Recipient
        ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18)    // 500 tokens
    );

    await tx.wait();

    console.log("✅ Minted 500 YRT");
    console.log("New total supply: 1500 YRT");
} else {
    console.log("❌ Not in GAP period");
}

Add minted tokens to pool:

// Add new liquidity with minted tokens
await yrt.approve(ROUTER, ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18));
await usdc.approve(ROUTER, ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18));

await router.addLiquidity(
    yrtAddress,
    USDC_ADDRESS,
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18),
    ethers.utils.parseUnits("500", 18),
    0,
    0,
    ownerAddress,
    deadline,
    "Green Valley Apartment"
);

console.log("✅ New liquidity added to pool");

Best Practices

Timing

Deposit yield early (1-2 days before maturity)
- Ensures Chainlink can trigger snapshot
- Avoids last-minute issues
Monitor Chainlink Upkeep
- Check status: https://automation.chain.link/base-sepolia
- Ensure LINK balance > 5 LINK
Distribute immediately after snapshot
- Better UX for users
- Shows professionalism

Communication

Announce periods in advance
- Share maturity dates
- Expected yield amounts
- Distribution timeline
Update users on progress
- "Yield deposited ✅"
- "Snapshot taken ✅"
- "Distribution complete ✅"
Transparency
- Share contract addresses
- Verify on BaseScan
- Publish yield calculations

Risk Management

Start with demo periods (3-10 minutes)
- Test full flow
- Verify automation works
- Fix issues before production
Use testnet first (Base Sepolia)
- No real money at risk
- Learn the system
- Train your team
Have yield ready
- Don't promise yield you can't deliver
- Maintain USDC balance
- Plan for periods in advance

Troubleshooting

Snapshot Not Triggered

Check:

Maturity date reached?
Yield deposited?
Chainlink Upkeep funded?

Manual trigger (if needed):

await factory.triggerSnapshotForPeriod(seriesId, periodId);

Cannot Mint Tokens

Error: "Cannot mint during fundraising period"

Cause: Trying to mint during active fundraising

Solution: Wait for snapshot, then mint in GAP period

Distribution Failed

Check:

Snapshot taken?
Sufficient USDC balance in factory?
Gas limit (use batchDistribute for many holders)?
