Quick Start Guide

Follow these simple steps to start investing in tokenized real estate with RentStac:

Adding Cryptocurrency to Your Wallet

There are two main ways to fund your wallet with cryptocurrency:

How Much Should I Fund?

Consider these factors when funding your wallet:

• Investment Amount: The amount of RNS tokens you want to buy
• Gas Fees: Reserve ~$20-50 in ETH for transaction fees
• Buffer: Add 10-15% extra for price fluctuations and fees

Verifying Your Balance

After funding, verify your balance:

1. Open your wallet (MetaMask, etc.)
2. Check the balance is showing correctly
3. For tokens (USDT/USDC), you may need to add them to your wallet view
4. Ensure you're on Ethereum Mainnet

Purchasing RNS Tokens During Presale

Follow this step-by-step guide to purchase RNS tokens during the presale phases.

Prerequisites

• A Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.)
• Sufficient cryptocurrency balance (ETH, USDT, or USDC)
• Small amount of ETH for gas fees

Step-by-Step Purchase Process

1. Connect Your Wallet

Visit the RentStac website and click the "Connect Wallet" button. Select your wallet provider and approve the connection request.

2. Navigate to Presale

Click on "Buy RNS" or navigate to the presale section of the website. You'll see the current presale phase, price, and remaining tokens.

3. Enter Purchase Amount

Enter the amount you wish to invest. The calculator will show:

• How many RNS tokens you'll receive
• Current presale phase price
• Estimated gas fees
• Total cost

4. Select Payment Method

Choose your preferred payment cryptocurrency:

• ETH - Direct Ethereum payment
• USDT - Tether stablecoin (requires token approval)
• USDC - USD Coin stablecoin (requires token approval)

5. Approve Transaction

If paying with USDT or USDC, you'll need to approve the token spending first (one-time action). Then confirm the actual purchase transaction in your wallet.

6. Confirmation

After confirmation, wait for the transaction to be processed on the blockchain (typically 1-3 minutes). You'll receive a confirmation message when complete.

After Purchase

Your RNS tokens will appear in your dashboard. During presale, tokens are held in the smart contract and will be claimable at Token Generation Event (TGE).

Common Issues

Transaction Failed

Common reasons and solutions:

• Insufficient gas: Increase gas limit in wallet settings
• Insufficient balance: Ensure you have enough for both purchase and gas fees
• Slippage: Transaction took too long, try again

Tokens Not Showing

If tokens don't appear immediately:

• Refresh your dashboard
• Check transaction status on Etherscan
• Clear browser cache
• Contact support if issue persists

Understanding RentStac Returns

RentStac offers two main ways to earn returns on your investment:

1. Holding RNS Tokens (Passive)

Simply holding RNS tokens in your wallet provides benefits:

• Buyback & Burn: Protocol uses property cash flows to buy back and burn tokens, reducing supply
• Price Appreciation: As supply decreases and demand increases, token value tends to rise
• Governance Rights: Vote on protocol decisions
• No Lock-up: Complete liquidity at all times

2. Staking RNS Tokens (Active)

For higher returns, stake your RNS in property-specific pools:

How Staking Works

1. Choose a Property Pool: Browse available properties in the dashboard
2. Review Details: Check expected ROI, lock period, and property information
3. Stake Tokens: Allocate your RNS to the selected pool
4. Earn Returns: Receive proportional share of property cash flows

Staking Rewards

Active stakers receive multiple benefits:

• Base ROI: Direct share of rental income and capital gains from properties
• Bonus RNS Rewards: Extra tokens as staking incentives
• Reduced Fees: Lower marketplace trading commissions
• Priority Access: Early entry to new property pools
• Enhanced Governance: Stronger voting power on property-specific decisions

Lock Periods

Different pools offer various lock period options:

• Flexible (No Lock): Withdraw anytime, lower ROI
• 3 Months: Medium ROI, quarterly commitment
• 6 Months: Higher ROI, semi-annual commitment
• 12 Months: Highest ROI, annual commitment

Distribution Schedule

Returns are distributed automatically via smart contracts:

• Frequency: Monthly or quarterly (depends on property pool)
• Currency: Distributions in RNS tokens
• Calculation: Proportional to your stake in the pool
• Delivery: Automatic transfer to your wallet

Expected Returns

Return rates vary based on multiple factors:

Property Performance

• Rental occupancy rates
• Property location and type
• Market conditions
• Management efficiency

Your Strategy

• Passive Holding: Indirect benefits from buybacks
• Flexible Staking: 6-8% annual ROI (example)
• Locked Staking (12mo): 10-15% annual ROI (example)

Maximizing Your Returns

Diversification

Spread your investment across multiple property pools to reduce risk and maximize opportunities.

Compound Growth

Reinvest your distributions by staking them in additional pools for compound growth.

Lock Period Strategy

Balance between liquidity needs and higher returns from longer lock periods.

Active Participation

Engage in governance voting to influence property management and protocol decisions.

Tracking Your Earnings
