# Dividend Distributions

#### How dividends work

Each RWA token represents fractional ownership of an underlying asset and its associated income stream. Investors receive dividends proportional to their token holdings — if you hold 1% of a property's tokens, you receive 1% of net income generated by that asset.

#### Asset Types

**Real estate**

Returns are primarily driven by rental income, distributed monthly to your wallet. Properties may also generate supplementary revenue streams distributed proportionally to all token holders.

#### Tokenized Debt

Returns take the form of regular interest payments on a predetermined monthly or quarterly schedule. Instruments include corporate bonds, government securities, and peer-to-peer lending, each with distinct yield structures and payment cadences.
