7.3 Staking and Membership Mechanism

Access to Asset Avenue’s investment club and its curated property listings is gated by a staking-based membership system. To become a member:

  • Users must stake a minimum amount of AAV tokens, locking them in a smart contract.

  • They then undergo KYC verification (see next section).

  • Upon approval, they gain full access to the platform: investments, project submissions, DAO participation, and networking.

This staking model serves multiple purposes:

  • Regulates entry into the ecosystem by requiring financial and identity commitment.

  • Reduces AAV tokens in circulation, strengthening the token economy.

  • Ties privileges to active commitment—if a user unstakes, they lose access and governance rights.

Staking is not just a technical access key—it reflects alignment with the long-term vision and sustainability of Asset Avenue.
