Custody Layer
The custody layer is the foundation of the NeoMason platform. Its core objectives are:
To provide property owners with one-stop, offline custody services (property management, leasing execution, contract registration).
To ensure on-chain custody of rental cash flows, guaranteeing transparent and verifiable yield distribution for investors.
This layer serves as both the legal anchor and the asset anchor, and it represents the prerequisite for tokenization and financialization. In real estate investing, the greatest concerns typically arise not at the point of purchase, but during ownership and management. Traditional custody models often involve fragmented intermediaries, opaque service delivery, and low trust. The NeoMason custody layer is designed to resolve precisely these structural challenges.
Offline Custody
NeoMason provides end-to-end custody services across the full property lifecycle, executed by experienced professional teams:
Asset Management — Maintenance, repair, and facility upkeep to preserve and enhance long-term asset value.
Leasing Management — Tenant screening, contract execution, rent collection, and dispute resolution, reducing investor operational burden.
Compliance and Title Assurance — All assets are officially registered and recorded with government authorities, ensuring legal enforceability and transparency.
5R Upgrade — Renovation and standardized management enhance competitiveness and improve rental yield performance.
This creates a “hands-free” experience for investors, addressing one of the most painful aspects of cross-border real estate investment.
On-chain Custody of Rental Income
The key innovation of NeoMason lies in placing rental income flows on-chain, offering a new level of transparency and trust:
Rental Pooling — Tenant payments flow directly into on-chain escrow pools, eliminating delays or misuse.
Automated Distribution — Proceeds are automatically settled and distributed proportionally to token holders, accessible globally in real time.
Transparent Records — All transactions are recorded immutably on-chain, verifiable and tamper-proof.
Risk Hedging — AI-based rental forecasts combined with on-chain hedging pools stabilize cash flow volatility.
Why Custody Matters
The custody layer creates a dual-trust structure — offline and on-chain:
Security — Offline custody ensures operational stability and protects physical asset value.
Transparency — On-chain custody guarantees publicly auditable, real-time access to yields.
Long-term Trust — Secure custody and transparent distribution jointly establish the investor confidence and reliability essential for global participation.
The 5R Model (RR’$R’RR Model)
NeoMason’s 5R Model is an integrated operational framework that spans custody, yield abstraction, and financial applications. Through Rehab, Rent, REY-ize, Refinancing, and Recycling, traditional property assets are transformed into more efficient, transparent, and liquid financial instruments.
Full-cycle coverage — From asset rehabilitation to capital reinvestment, creating a complete capital rotation chain.
Yield enhancement — Cash flow is improved through Rehab + Rent, then financially amplified through REY-ize + Refinancing + Recycling.
Transparency — Each step is immutably recorded on-chain, enabling real-time investor oversight.
Compounding effect — The cyclical model delivers stable yields and long-term portfolio expansion.
Detailed Stages:
Rehab (Asset Upgrade & Preparation)
Renovation, maintenance, and regulatory compliance to enhance quality and competitiveness.
Converts static assets into market-ready yield vehicles.
Rent (Leasing & Cash Flow Generation)
AI- and data-driven rental strategies to improve occupancy and pricing efficiency.
Hybrid contracts (long-term + short-term) to stabilize yield.
REY-ize (Yield Abstraction)
Rental income channeled via $A_20_n into standardized notes ($REY).
Converts individual property yield into composable, borderless financial assets.
Refinancing (Capital Release)
DSCR-based financing instruments backed by future rental income.
Provides landlords with refinancing tools and investors with structured yield products.
Recycling (Capital Rotation & Reinvestment)
Recycled capital is reinvested into new assets, driving portfolio expansion.
Creates a compounding, scalable real estate finance ecosystem.
Value for Different Stakeholders
Retail Investors — Benefit from enhanced and stabilized $REY yields, not merely raw rental flows.
Institutional Investors — Gain access to an active management strategy akin to “enhanced REITs,” rather than passive structures.
Property Owners — Achieve yield uplift of 15% or more post-custody, while unlocking refinancing and liquidity channels.
Executive Takeaway
The custody layer anchors NeoMason’s model with a dual-trust system: stable offline property management and transparent on-chain yield distribution. Enhanced by the 5R Model, NeoMason upgrades real estate into a yield-optimized, liquid, and auditable capital asset, aligning the interests of retail investors, institutions, and property owners alike.
