Key Features of the DelNorte System

  1. Full Decentralization of Ownership

    • Tokens represent 100% of the asset’s value and rights, removing any reliance on third parties or future forced actions.

    • Ownership transfer, dividend payouts, and governance are handled entirely on the blockchain.

  2. No Forced Sale or Buy-Back

    • Assets can remain tokenized indefinitely without requiring settlement in fiat or external sales.

    • Token holders can freely trade their shares on the Delnorte exchange, creating liquidity without disrupting the underlying asset's status.

  3. Decentralized Governance

    • Token holders participate in a blockchain-based voting system to manage the asset.

    • Decisions on operations, distributions, or asset sales are determined democratically, replacing traditional LLC or trust minutes with immutable records.

  4. Income-Generating and Non-Income-Generating Assets

    • While focused on income-producing assets (e.g., REITs, real estate portfolios), Delnorte accommodates non-cash-generating assets by offering usage rights (e.g., timeshares).

  5. Direct Payout Mechanism

    • Dividends, rental income, or other distributions are deposited directly into the DAO’s blockchain address.

    • Funds are automatically distributed to token holders' wallets in real-time, tagged with descriptive messages for accountability.

Tokenization and Governance Model

  1. Tokenization of Real-World Units

    • Real-world assets (LLCs, REITs, or trusts) are converted into DAOs.

    • Each DAO issues its own unique token type, allowing fractional ownership.

    • Tokens can be freely traded without requiring asset liquidation.

  2. Voting System

    • Typed-Issues: Specific types of governance proposals include:

      • Dividend Distribution: Proposals for distributing profits to token holders.

      • Operational Changes: Decisions on property management or asset improvements.

      • Asset Sale: Voting to liquidate or transfer the asset, requiring specific terms (e.g., fixed token prices).

    • Voting records are stored immutably on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and reducing fraud risks.

  3. Asset Sale Mechanisms

    • A DAO can sell an asset only if a majority of token holders vote to approve the terms.

    • The sale must comply with real-world legal constraints, and liability falls on the property manager for enforcing fiduciary responsibilities.


Decentralized Dividend Management

  • Direct Ether Payouts: Property managers deposit earnings into the DAO’s wallet, which are then distributed automatically to token holders.

  • Payment Tags: Blockchain records include descriptive tags (e.g., “Dividend Payment,” “Sale Proceeds”), ensuring accountability and auditability.


Benefits of No Forced Settlement Dates

  1. Flexibility for Asset Owners

    • Owners can tokenize their assets without committing to a future buy-back or liquidation.

    • They can raise funds incrementally by selling tokens over time.

  2. Enhanced Investor Incentives

    • Investors gain access to ongoing cash flow and governance rights.

    • Usage rights (for non-cash-generating assets) provide added value.

  3. Reduced Transaction Costs

    • Eliminates intermediaries like brokers and trustees.

    • Significantly lowers fees for ownership transfers and governance.


Challenges and Solutions

  1. Adding/Removing Assets Post-Tokenization

    • Solution: Typed-Issue Voting allows token holders to approve asset additions or removals within the DAO.

  2. Fraud and Fiduciary Risks

    • Solution: Immutable blockchain records ensure that all actions (votes, distributions, transfers) are transparent and auditable.

  3. Real-World Legal Constraints

    • Solution: The system enforces compliance with legal frameworks, holding property managers accountable for unauthorized actions.
