Compliant High-Yield RWA Tokenization

Problem

The lack of secure, legally structured investment opportunities in fractional ownership of agricultural businesses prevents Cardano investors from accessing high-yield (~10-24%) returns in this sector

Solution

Compliant cattle feedlot tokenization. Tokens provide fractional ownership, automated dividends, 5% profit share to Cardano Treasury, and secure high-yield real-world asset investment.
