Track record as reported by the asset partner, a related party of Tortuga; the relationship is non-exclusive both ways. Further asset partners can join through the same rails.
01 · How it works
From a building to your wallet, in five steps.
Every step is a legal document, and every step has a named role. The asset partner originates and securitises the deal; a Tortuga compartment holds the note, issues the security and takes it onchain.

The asset partner sources and underwrites the deal.
Estating, our first asset partner, has originated and structured institutional real-estate credit for six years, through ten originating partners: the developers and sponsors behind the deals. Every deal passes the same underwriting before it goes any further.

Each position becomes a note with its own Swiss ISIN.
The asset partner places each position in its own ring-fenced compartment of a Luxembourg securitisation vehicle, which issues a note against it. The note carries a Swiss ISIN, sits in custody at SIX SIS and pays through a FINMA-supervised paying agent.

03 · Tortuga · issuance vehicle
A Tortuga compartment holds the note, ring-fenced by law.
Tortuga's own Luxembourg securitisation vehicle takes the note into a compartment of its own, one per series. Under the Securitisation Law of 22 March 2004, each compartment has its own assets and liabilities, and investors' rights stop at them. A problem in one compartment stays there.
Two ring-fenced layers: the asset's, then the series'One compartment per seriesRing-fenced from others, not from its own risk
The compartment issues your series as a security token.
Against the note it holds, the compartment issues a registered note: a MiFID II transferable security, outside MiCA, held as an ERC-3643 token. The legal register is the system of record; the token is its settlement representation. It is minted pending, and becomes transferable once the note settles.

05 · Tortuga · onchain distribution
Verified once, held in your own wallet.
Investors verify once. The identity sits on Tortuga's registry and reaches every supported chain, and ERC-3643 checks it on every transfer, so the token moves only between verified wallets. Tortuga does not hold your token. The same security is designed to reach onchain allocators: treasuries, funds and protocols.
One KYC, every supported chainTransfers only to verified walletsPriced at published NAV, by design
One token, three layers, each set by the documents.
Every series, Native or T-Evergreen, is built on the same base. Read it outside in: what you hold, the boundary that protects it, and what backs it.

Outermost · what you hold
A registered note, held as a token in your own wallet.
One permissioned security token per series: ERC-3643, whitelist-only, transferable only between verified wallets. Tortuga does not hold your token.

The boundary · how it is structured
A ring-fenced compartment of a Luxembourg securitisation vehicle.
One vehicle, many compartments. Each has its own assets and liabilities, so another compartment's losses cannot reach yours. Limited recourse, non-petition.
3
At the core · how it is backed
One real-estate credit note, with its own Swiss ISIN.
The note sits in custody at SIX SIS. Your claim is on the compartment's assets, and on nothing else.

The legal frame · what it is
A transferable security under MiFID II. Outside MiCA.
Issued under the Luxembourg Securitisation Law of 22 March 2004, as amended. Switzerland is market infrastructure for the underlying notes (ISIN, custody, paying agent), not the governing law.
03 · Products
Three products, in order. Each one opens the next.
Native is built to prove the rails, deal by deal. T-Evergreen is designed to become the onchain asset. A permissionless token comes last. All three are built to pay yield from real estate, not from crypto cycles.

How you get out
At the deal's scheduled exit; transfers to verified holders are possible, a buyer is not promised
Held to maturity, a note only earns its return. Onchain, it is designed to double as collateral in permissioned lending markets: a verified holder borrows stablecoins against it without selling, and keeps the exposure.
Every exit is designed in advance, and set out in the documents.
Native is held to the deal's scheduled exit. T-Evergreen is designed to pay exits in a fixed order, from cash set aside for them, and never from the coupon.
Native
Hold to the scheduled exit.
No early redemption: the note pays out when the deal exits or matures.
Transfers to verified holders are possible; a buyer is not promised.
A secondary lane for transfers at published NAV is in progress.
T-Evergreen · how you exit, in design
Paid in order.Instant only up to the buffer, then quarter-end on notice, then windows at NAV, a queue and gates.
Never mixed.Exit cash never pays the coupon; the coupon reserve never funds redemptions.
Configured per series.Each series sets its own collateral and buffer sizes, published in its documents.
A same-day exit from a multi-year asset comes either from a small buffer or from someone else's balance sheet. Each series' documents will say which, and how much.
No rung requires a forced sale: the book sells only at NAV or above. Windows open quarterly at kickoff and are designed to get more frequent as the book grows.
