Why Sell Fractional Shares Of Your RWA DePIN Asset?

PinLink provides DePIN asset owners two potential revenue streams: rental income from renting the asset out to DePIN Service Users and RWA sales income from selling fractions of the asset’s profit stream.

The degree to which a DePIN asset owner focuses on RWA asset sales vs rental income will depend on their unique, dynamic financial goals. If they want to optimize for unlocking larger upfront capital injections they will sell more fractional shares of their RWA. If they wish to optimize for gradual, long term revenue, they will sell fewer fractional shares of their RWA. The RWA sales model also optimizes for DePIN asset owners looking to expand their asset base. By selling fractions of their RWA, they can unlock the capital required to purchase new assets that they can then draw additional rental income from, creating an asset accumulation flywheel.

An analogy can be drawn with real estate ownership where RWA-tokenization models are more well-established. On RWA-tokenized real estate platforms, a house-owner may choose to sell a fraction of their asset to unlock further capital that can be used to put down a deposit on further income-generating real estate assets, creating a similar flywheel effect.

Crucially, as the financial goals of DePIN asset owners evolve, PinLink provides the flexibility for their strategies to evolve too. For example, a DePIN asset owner initially focused on rental income may later decide that they want a large upfront injection of capital, at which stage they can then sell more shares of their RWA. This not only creates more flexible options for supply-side users of PinLink but also aids with retaining them on the protocol over time.
