Question 1

What is Node?

Accepted Answer

Node is a compliance-native infrastructure platform that enables real estate assets to be issued, managed, and owned through digital financial systems. We connect developers, investors, and institutions through a unified layer that supports identity verification and automated capital distributions.

Question 2

How is Node different from a traditional investment marketplace?

Accepted Answer

Most platforms are simply marketplaces. Node is the infrastructure. We provide the underlying systems to:

• Structure assets via SPV entities.
• Automate compliance rules at the code level.
• Maintain digital ownership records.
• Coordinate reporting and distributions between managers and owners.

Question 3

Who can invest through Node?

Accepted Answer

Opportunities are typically available to eligible participants who meet specific offering requirements. For U.S. offerings under Regulation D, this generally means Accredited Investors. All participants must complete verification before accessing opportunities.

Question 4

How are income distributions handled?

Accepted Answer

Income generated by a property is processed through Node's capital infrastructure. The platform calculates allocations based on your ownership share and executes distributions automatically to your digital account.

Question 5

How can developers raise capital through Node?

Accepted Answer

Approved developers can structure assets through a compliant SPV and issue interests via Node's infrastructure. We handle the heavy lifting of investor onboarding and cap table management so you can focus on project execution.

Question 6

Does Node replace traditional development financing?

Accepted Answer

No. Node is designed to complement your existing capital stack. Developers often combine traditional bank debt with capital raised through the Node platform for greater flexibility.

Question 7

Does Node replace property management software?

Accepted Answer

No. Node is the investment infrastructure layer surrounding the asset. You continue using your existing operational systems for leasing and maintenance while integrating relevant performance data into the Node reporting environment.

Question 8

Does Node tokenize deeds?

Accepted Answer

No. This is a critical distinction. Node does not tokenize deeds or land titles. Node digitizes membership interests in SPVs that hold the underlying property. This ensures legal enforceability and total alignment with global securities laws.

Question 9

What is "Identity-First" access?

Accepted Answer

Every participant must complete KYC/AML screening and accreditation checks before interacting with the platform. This ensures all activity occurs within a permissioned, compliant environment.

Question 10

Are digital ownership records the same as cryptocurrencies?

Accepted Answer

No. Digital ownership records on Node represent securities tied to real-world assets and legal SPV structures. They are not free-floating cryptocurrencies or speculative tokens.

Question 11

What role do smart contracts play?

Accepted Answer

Smart contracts automate the "if/then" logic of the lifecycle—such as enforcing transfer restrictions or calculating distributions. They are an efficiency tool within our infrastructure, not a substitute for legal structuring.
