Fee Structure
Clear, transparent, simple. This document explains every user-facing fee on OpenHouse — what you pay, when you pay it, and how it behaves across the synthetic and real asset phases.
OpenHouse charges fees when you trade, not for holding. Here's what you pay.

Covered by OpenHouse
Exact percentages are shown before you confirm any transaction.
Buying
When you buy shares, a fee of around 1.5% is added to your investment. Your full investment goes into shares—the fee doesn't reduce your position.
This applies in both the synthetic phase and when buying on the secondary market.
Selling
When you sell, a fee of around 1.5% is deducted from your proceeds. The net amount goes to your wallet.
Holding and Claiming
There are no fees for holding shares or claiming yield. What you see in your wallet is what you get.
Gas Fees
OpenHouse covers all blockchain transaction costs. You don't need ETH. You only need USDC.
Property Operating Costs
The only ongoing deduction from rental income is 8% property management.
Other property costs—insurance, maintenance reserves, stamp duty, legal fees—are funded from the initial raise. They are not deducted from rent.
Net Rental Yield = Gross Yield × 0.92
Fee Caps
Fee parameters are enforced by smart contracts. Maximum limits are hard-coded on-chain:
Buy fee
10%
Sell fee
10%
Platform fee
10%
Current fees are well below these caps. The caps exist as protection—fees cannot be increased beyond these limits without redeploying contracts.
Where Fees Go
Fees fund platform operations: development, compliance, customer support, and the liquidity infrastructure that lets you trade freely.
