# Feature Overview

**Real Asset Vault** is a simplified, fully passive investment feature built on top of the Landshare platform. It allows users to **deposit USDC** and earn **real-world, asset-backed yield,** without needing to manually interact with $LSRWA tokens, navigate secondary markets, or participate in DeFi mechanics like staking or liquidity farming.

Behind the scenes, your deposit is used to acquire $LSRWA — Landshare’s RWA Token, which is tied directly to U.S. rental properties generating income and appreciating in value. Yield is auto-redeemed monthly and delivered in stablecoins (USDC), and your principal remains available for withdrawal following a brief lock period (managed via epochs — see next section).

### 🏗️ How It Works (Step-by-Step)

Here’s how a typical user journey might look:

1. **Complete KYC**

   In order to access LSRWA Express you need to verify your identity.
2. **Deposit Stablecoins**

   Users deposit USDC into the RAV vault.
3. **Protocol Acquires $LSRWA**

   The system automatically uses your deposit to acquire LSRWA tokens behind the scenes.
4. **Monthly Yield in USDC**

   LSRWA tokens generate yield from rent and appreciation, and the protocol redeems that yield monthly, distributing it to you in USDC.
5. **Withdraw Principal**

   After your selected lockup/epoch cycle, you can withdraw your deposit, or choose to continue earning.

### 💰 Yield Breakdown

Your returns through RAV come from two main sources:

* **Rental income** from tokenized U.S. real estate (paid out monthly)
* **Property appreciation** — the LSRWA token value increases over time as the property value rises

> 💡 You get all the benefits of owning real estate, without ever having to buy, manage, or sell a physical property.

### 🧍 Who Is This For?

Real Asset Vault was designed with **non-technical and passive investors** in mind, but also benefits seasoned DeFi users who want to diversify without added complexity.

✅ Ideal for:

* Web2 investors exploring crypto and tokenized assets
* Stablecoin holders looking for real yield
* Traditional real estate investors curious about DeFi
* Crypto natives seeking low-volatility, real-world exposure
