Pay-outs are revenue generated from investments made by the DAO. When an investment is fulfilled, a snapshot of holders is taken and NFTs are minted for each holder. The NFT a member of the DAO receives corresponds with their % share of INVESTA tokens they hold. \ \ When the DAO receives a payment from an investment in the form of: * Rental yield from real-estate * Dividend payments from stocks * Staking proceedings from Crypto * Profit from business investments * Sale of an investment These payments are distributed to all NFT holders for that specific investment. Payments will be made monthly or based on agreed time by DAO. **Example:** DAO approves investment in Project A. Snapshot is taken and NFTs minted for Project A for all holders. Project A generates a monthly income which is distributed to all holders of Project A NFTs on a bi-monthly basis. After 8 months, the DAO votes to sell their investment in Project A. The money from the sale is then distributed to all holders of Project A. \ \ Pay-outs will always be made to the holder of an NFT at snapshot times. If the NFT is sold or transferred, the new holder will receive the pay-outs. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
