Safeguards & Protections

How OpenHouse protects investors through design, limits, structure, and transparent rules.

---

Multiple layers protect investors: smart contracts, legal structure, operations, and governance.

Smart Contract Protections

• Buy and sell fees are capped at 10% on-chain. This limit cannot change without redeploying contracts.

• Property valuations can only move 10% per update.

• Seven-day timelock prevents sudden pricing changes.

• Only verified users can hold or transfer shares.

• Emergency pause functionality preserves user balances.

Structural Safeguards

• Each property sits in its own SPV, isolating it from other properties.

• Treasury reserves for synthetic yield are separate from operational funds.

• You maintain self-custody of your shares. OpenHouse does not hold them for you.

Operational Safeguards

• Properties must meet internal selection criteria before listing.

• Smart contracts are published and verified for public review.

• System monitoring detects operational anomalies.

Governance Controls

• Critical functions are distributed across distinct roles: operator, compliance administrator, and contract owner.

• No single private key controls all platform actions.

Our Approach

Predictable rules. Distributed authority. A system that behaves consistently and respects the responsibility of handling real assets.
