General Questions

Answers to the most common questions about what Link Club is and how it works.

Link Club is a real estate marketplace where you can buy fractions of luxury properties using blockchain-backed Smart Contracts — starting at just $20,000. With each fraction you buy, you become a co-owner of a real-world property.

Each property is organized into its own "Club" — an LLC that holds legal title to the property. When you buy a fraction:

  • You become a registered member of the property's LLC.
  • Your ownership is securely recorded and enforced by a smart contract on the blockchain.
  • You're entitled to a proportional share of rental income and property appreciation.
  • You gain governance rights to vote on key decisions.

Smart contracts are self-executing agreements that securely manage and record transactions on the blockchain. At Link Club, each fractional investment is secured through smart contracts built on Immutable X (IMX) — a Layer 2 protocol on Ethereum. This allows us to offer:

  • Fast transactions
  • On-chain ownership records that are tamper-proof and verifiable
  • Seamless peer-to-peer resales within the Link Club marketplace

Your ownership is recorded digitally and backed by legal documentation — combining the trust of real estate with the efficiency of blockchain technology. Learn more about Smart Contracts →

IONICA World is the designated property manager for each Link Club LLC, handling day-to-day operations on behalf of the LLC members — guest services, dynamic pricing, maintenance, and monthly income reporting. As LLC members, investors actively govern their Club: reviewing monthly income reports, voting on major decisions, and retaining the right to appoint a different manager by majority vote, provided that manager can operate within IONICA World's distribution platform.

This is not a passive investment. LLC membership carries real governance rights and responsibilities — you are an active owner, not a fund participant.

Yes. Every investment is backed by a formal purchase agreement, and all transactions are legally documented. Your ownership is registered on the blockchain and supported by legal filings through the LLC structure.

Yes! Link Club is open to global investors. However, in compliance with U.S. law, some countries and individuals may be restricted from using Link Club. For the most current list of restricted jurisdictions, please refer to the official OFAC Sanctions List.

We also recommend international buyers consult with a local tax advisor for country-specific implications.

Ownership

What owning a fraction actually means — your rights, personal use, and exit options.

Yes. When you buy a fraction, you're becoming a legal co-owner of a Florida-based LLC that holds the title to the property. As a member of that LLC, you receive:

  • Ownership rights and responsibilities
  • Voting power on key decisions
  • A share of net rental income
  • Limited personal-use nights (typically 2 per fraction per year) on select properties

Many properties on Link Club allow owners to enjoy personal use nights based on the number of fractions they hold. For every fraction you own, you're granted 2 personal-use nights per calendar year.

Instead of fixed nights, you receive a booking credit in your IONICA World wallet equal to the average nightly rate of the property. This credit resets annually and cannot be rolled over or transferred.

Example: If a property's average nightly rate is $350 and you own 1 fraction → 2 nights → $700 credit added to your IONICA World wallet. You can book anytime, with no blackout dates. If you book during a higher-rate period (e.g., $500/night), you simply pay the difference.
Properties leased year-round (with annual tenants or long-term contracts) do not include personal-use nights, as they're not available for short-term stays.

There is no fixed holding period. You can hold your fraction as long as you like, or sell it (if eligible) through the marketplace once the property has been tokenized.

No. To ensure secure and legally valid transfers of property ownership rights, Link Club smart contracts are non-transferable outside the platform. Ownership can only be reassigned through Link Club's peer-to-peer resale process, which ensures:

  • Payment verification
  • Legal reassignment within the LLC's ownership ledger
  • Compliance with our KYC/AML standards

Yes, it's possible. If all members of the Club vote to sell the entire property, it can be listed and sold on the traditional real estate market. When this happens:

  • The property is sold as a whole asset
  • All owners receive a payout proportional to their fractions
  • The Club is dissolved, and your investment concludes with a final distribution

This gives owners collective control and the flexibility to exit through a traditional sale when the time is right.

No. Each property is already held through its own LLC. When you purchase a fraction, you become a member of that LLC automatically. Rental income is distributed to your IONICA World wallet, from where you can transfer it to your PayPal or bank account.

Income & Fees

How rental income is earned, distributed, and what costs are involved.

Net rental income is distributed monthly to owners, after deducting all property expenses such as taxes, HOA fees, and management costs. Each owner's share is proportional to the number of fractions they hold.

All income projections are illustrative. Actual rental income and property performance can vary based on market conditions, occupancy, and operating costs. Profits are not guaranteed.

All ongoing costs — including repairs, property management, and insurance — are shared among owners and deducted from rental income before distributions are made.

The price of a fraction reflects the current market value of the property divided by the total number of ownership shares available.

Fraction prices also include legal and administrative costs related to LLC setup, platform service fees, smart contract deployment, compliance, as well as a 6-month reserve for property expenses.

In pre-construction phases, pricing may be lower to reflect the early-entry opportunity.

Yes. A 2.5% listing fee applies when selling your fraction on the Link Club peer-to-peer marketplace.

Buying Process

Step-by-step guide to reserving and completing a fraction purchase.

Before purchasing fractions, all buyers must complete identity verification through our secure KYC/AML provider. You'll be asked to submit:

  • Basic personal information
  • A valid government-issued ID
  • Proof of address

Once approved, your account will be activated and you'll be able to move forward with your investment.

Once you reserve a fraction, you'll receive wire transfer instructions by email. Your payment must be sent to a U.S.-based holding account.

After your payment is confirmed and the club is fully filled (30 fractions):

  1. You'll be asked to sign the LLC Operating Agreement electronically — this is your legal membership document.
  2. Your ownership is recorded on the blockchain via the Immutable X smart contract.
  3. You'll gain access to your fraction in the Investments tab of your account.
  4. Your name is added to the property's LLC ownership ledger.
You can also reserve a fraction with a 1.5% credit card deposit to hold your spot before wiring the full amount.

You may cancel your reservation at any time before the Club is completed to receive a full refund.

  • If you do not complete the full wire transfer within 7 days of reserving, your reservation will be automatically canceled and your 1.5% deposit will be forfeited.
  • If the Club does not reach full completion (i.e., all fractions are not sold), you will receive a full refund including your deposit, minus any applicable bank transfer fees.

You can purchase additional fractions of any available Club at any time. Your ownership percentage and personal use benefits will scale accordingly with each additional fraction you hold.

Marketplace & Resales

Buying and selling fractions on the Link Club peer-to-peer marketplace.

Once your fraction is tokenized, you can list it for resale on the Link Club Peer-to-Peer Marketplace. A 2.5% listing fee applies when selling.

You can choose between two resale methods:

  • On the Blockchain — Compatible with wallets like MetaMask, Coinbase, and Trust Wallet.
  • Via Escrow (coming soon) — Sell traditionally, with an escrow account as intermediary.

On the Link Club marketplace, you have the option to pay with:

  • Cryptocurrency — for tokenized fractions
  • Traditional bank transfer — through a third-party escrow service (coming soon)

If a transaction is initiated but not completed within the expected time window, either party may initiate an appeal through the Link Club platform.

Before filing an appeal: Use the in-platform chat to try resolving the issue directly with the other party first.

If no resolution is reached, file an appeal with a clear explanation and supporting documentation. Link Club's support team will:

  • Review transaction logs, payment confirmations, and chat history
  • Verify that payment was made according to the agreed method and instructions
  • Decide whether to complete, cancel, or reverse the transfer of ownership
Best practices to avoid disputes: Double-check payment details before sending. Always confirm you're using the correct wallet address and agreed blockchain. Include formal proof (wire receipt or blockchain transaction ID) if you need to file an appeal — avoid relying solely on screenshots.
Funds sent to the wrong wallet address are in most cases unrecoverable. Link Club cannot reverse blockchain transfers made outside of the platform.

Tax & Legal

Regulatory status, tax obligations, and how Link Club handles compliance.

Yes. Each property-specific LLC is treated as a pass-through entity for tax purposes. The LLC itself does not pay taxes — instead, each owner is responsible for reporting their share of income, expenses, and depreciation.

  • U.S. investors receive a Schedule K-1, which summarizes their portion of the LLC's financial activity for their personal tax return.
  • International investors may need to submit a W-8BEN form and are responsible for complying with their local tax laws.

We recommend consulting a tax advisor for personalized guidance.

No. Link Club is not regulated by the SEC because it does not offer securities. Each buyer receives direct ownership in a property-specific LLC — not a share in a pooled investment vehicle.

Instead, Link Club is governed by:

  • State real estate and LLC laws (e.g., Florida statutes)
  • Contract law, through each property's Operating Agreement
  • Consumer protection laws relevant to digital marketplaces
  • Federal AML/KYC regulations, including compliance with FinCEN and OFAC guidelines

Link Club takes legal compliance seriously and works with legal counsel to ensure ongoing adherence to applicable laws.

Account & Settings

Managing your profile, verification, PINs, and payout settings.

Account verification is required to ensure the security and legality of all transactions on Link Club. We verify your identity to comply with KYC (Know Your Customer) and AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations. This protects both buyers and sellers, and enables full access to the platform's features.

Your Signature PIN is used to sign digital documents when buying or selling fractions. To set it up:

  1. Go to the Signature section in your account
  2. Draw your signature using your finger or mouse
  3. Create a secure 6-digit PIN to confirm it

This PIN will be required each time you sign a purchase or sale agreement on the platform.

Your Access PIN is the 6-digit code you use to log in to Link Club securely. Think of it as your personal password — do not share it with anyone. You can update it at any time from your profile settings.

  1. Go to My Account
  2. Navigate to My Profile
  3. Tap Edit Profile to update your name, email, or phone number
  4. Save your changes

Your USDT payout wallet is the crypto wallet address where you'll receive proceeds from any marketplace sales you make. You can update this address at any time by going to Settings in the Marketplace tab.

Make sure the wallet supports USDT on the agreed blockchain network (e.g., Ethereum or Immutable X). Double-check the address — funds sent to an incorrect wallet are most likely unrecoverable.
