OneAsset Glossary

Edited

This is the single canonical glossary for OneAsset documentation. Any term used anywhere in the User Manual must map back to exactly one entry here (same spelling, capitalization, and meaning).

Core platform terms

OneAsset

A property-first RWA investment platform that lets investors buy fractional ownership Shares of specific income-producing real assets using USDC, earn daily net yield in USDC (claimable to their wallet), and sell Shares in an in-app marketplace.

Core Protocol

The shared on-chain and off-chain foundation that standardizes how OneAsset modules behave, integrate, and enforce global rules.

Property

A real-world, income-producing item (e.g., building, land, facility) that is represented inside OneAsset as an Asset.

Business

A real-world operating asset (e.g., clinic, warehouse, fintech hub, stadium, wind farm) that is represented inside OneAsset as an Asset.

Asset

The in-app representation of a Property or Business. Each Asset is represented on-chain as an Onchain Vault.

Onchain Vault

The on-chain wrapper for an Asset that standardizes accounting, enables issuance of Onchain Vault Shares, and supports yield distribution and secondary trading integrations.

Asset Shares

Fractional ownership shares of a specific Asset. Shares entitle Shareholders to Yield and can be traded in the secondary market per platform rules.

Shareholders

Users who hold Shares and are eligible to receive Yield distributions.

Investors

Users who can fund an account and place buy orders. (In MVP, every user is an Investor; “Investor” may also be used as a general user label.)

Settlement

The process that finalizes a transaction (primary or secondary), including all required confirmations and state transitions.

Wallets, funding, and balances

Account Funding

The platform-level lifecycle for adding funds to a user account and confirming usable balance.

USDC

Primary settlement currency used to invest in Assets, pay fees, and receive Yield.

Available Balance

Spendable USDC available to place orders or withdraw.

On Hold

USDC or actions that are restricted until an eligibility requirement or processing step completes (e.g., verification checks, pending settlement, compliance review), as shown by platform status.

Deposit

An inbound transfer that increases the user’s Available Balance (or On Hold balance first, depending on checks) after confirmation.

Credit Event

A confirmed funding event indicating funds are credited and available for use within the platform.

Withdrawal

An outbound transfer that reduces Available Balance after confirmation and processing.

Primary market investing and orders

Sell Order

An instruction to sell a specified quantity of Shares at the seller’s chosen price, subject to platform rules and available buyer demand.

Order Value

The total amount paid/received for an order in USDC, exactly as displayed in the order panel (including the platform’s “include/exclude fees” display logic).

Order Number

Minimum Order

The smallest permitted fill size for a partially-fillable Sell Order (configured in Shares or USDC; must be displayed to the user in the sell flow).

Marketplace

The in-app secondary market where Shareholders can place Sell Orders and Investors can buy available Shares at listed prices, subject to settlement and compliance rules.

Sell Offer

A sell order placed by a Shareholder on the Secondary Market to sell a specified amount of Shares under defined terms.

Partial Fill

A Sell Offer execution mode where the order may be purchased in multiple transactions by one or more buyers until the full amount is filled.

Portfolio, yield, and distributions

Portfolio

The investor workspace that aggregates holdings, performance, and yield metrics across all owned Shares.

Yield

Net cashflow income generated by an Asset (e.g., rent), distributed to Shareholders in USDC.

Yield Distribution

The process that allocates Yield to Shareholders based on their Shares holdings and the distribution rules for that Asset.

Accrued Yield

Yield earned to date for a position/positions, including both claimable yield and any portion pending release/processing as displayed.

Yield to Claim (Claimable Yield)

The portion of Accrued Yield currently available for the user to Claim to their wallet.

Claim

Transfers Yield to Claim to the user’s wallet and creates an Events Log record.

Capital Gains

Realized profits when Shares are sold above their purchase price (event-based, unlike Yield).

Records, logs, and audit

Compliance Gate

A platform-level eligibility check required before certain actions are permitted (e.g., investing, claiming).

Events Log

A user-facing record of material actions and state changes (deposits, buys, sells, claims, withdrawals, fee charges, and key processing events) with timestamps and identifiers.

Eligibility

A user’s current permission state to perform an action, determined by funding, compliance, and platform rules.

Timeline

The user-facing chronological view of key states and events across funding, investing, settlement, and yield.

Notification

A user-facing message triggered by a status, warning, success, or error event.

Fees and charges

Fees

Financial metrics and abbreviations

NAV - Net Asset Value

AUM - Assets Under Management

Total value of Assets/positions managed on the platform (portfolio- or platform-level aggregate).

ROI - Return on Investment

A general return measure; in OneAsset UI and docs, ROI must specify whether it includes income distributions, price appreciation, and fees, and over what time horizon.

APR - Annual Percentage Rate

Net annual income yield (net income distributions). In OneAsset ROI math, APR is the net yield rate used for distribution assumptions unless explicitly stated otherwise.

EAY - Estimated Annual Yield (Gross Income Yield)

Gross annual income yield before haircuts (e.g., vacancy, OPEX). Canonical relationship:

ECA - Estimated Annual Capital Appreciation

Estimated annual capital appreciation rate (CAGR of NAV/price), used for “End NAV” projections.

CAGR (Displayed)

Headline annualized gross return estimate shown to users before fees and taxes, displayed as:

  • CAGR = EAY + ECA Tooltip: “Estimated gross annual return before fees and taxes. Calculated as Gross Income Yield (EAY) + Capital Appreciation (ECA).”

IRR - Internal Rate of Return

A discounted cashflow metric representing the annualized effective compounded return rate considering timing of cash flows.

NOI - Net Operating Income

Income after operating expenses (and typically before financing costs); used in valuation and yield modeling.

Cap Rate (Capitalization Rate)

A valuation ratio commonly expressed as NOI / Asset value; used in property/business valuation models.

Roles

Investor

A user who deposits USDC, invests in Assets by buying Shares, receives yield, and may sell Shares in the marketplace.

Shareholder

An Investor who currently holds Shares and is eligible to receive Yield.

Property Owner

Property Manager

A delegated operator responsible for property/business operations, reporting, and ongoing performance inputs according to platform requirements.

Compliance and security

KYC/AML

Identity verification and anti-money-laundering checks required for eligibility. Documentation must treat this as a mandatory gating control where applicable.

Eligibility

The set of conditions a user must satisfy to access a workflow (e.g., deposit release, invest, trade, withdraw). Eligibility must be represented as a user-visible status when it blocks actions.
