Execeutive Summary
NFsTay approached Decrypted Labs with an ambitious vision: democratize access to the lucrative short-term rental market by tokenizing rent-to-rent (rental arbitrage) properties. Instead of requiring users to buy real estate outright, NFsTay wanted to let anyone become a fractional partner in professionally managed Airbnb properties—starting from just $1,000.
Decrypted Labs delivered a production-ready platform featuring:
On-chain voting and commission systems for partner decision-making and referrals.
Multi-chain staking, liquidity pools, and buyback mechanisms.
Fiat-to-crypto onramps via Wert.io for seamless investment.
About NFsTay
Industry
PropTech / Real-World Assets (RWA) / DeFi
Objective
Create a rent-to-rent / rental arbitrage platform with blockchain tokenization
About
NFsTay tokenizes unused short-term rental capacity, letting investors own fractions of rent-to-rent properties. The platform leases units at fixed rates and sublets them at premium nightly prices, monetizing unoccupied nights. Positioned in the growing $112B short-term rental market, it combines PropTech with real-world asset tokenization.
Challenges and Objectives
NFsTay had proven their rent-to-rent model worked at scale—managing 100+ properties profitably. But they faced critical limitations:
Capital & Access Barriers
Short-term rental scaling required high upfront capital, limiting participation.Traditional property investment excluded most potential investors. International barriers further restricted global access to UK deals.
Transparency & Trust Gaps
Partners lacked real-time visibility and transparency into performance and income distribution.Trust and scalability required automated, data-driven accountability.
Operational & Governance Complexity
Fractional ownership created legal and administrative challenges.Governance systems were needed for voting and decision-making.Automated payouts and on-chain referral tracking were essential.
Technical Objectives & Solution Vision
The platform aimed to tokenize investments starting from $1,000+.On-chain governance and smart contracts would automate operations.DeFi integration and fiat onramps would enable global participation.
They wanted to unlock real estate investing without buying property
NFStay faced the challenge of scaling a proven rent-to-rent model while removing the high capital, transparency, and accessibility barriers of traditional property investment. The platform needed to tokenize short-term rental properties, enable fractional partnerships from as little as $1,000, automate income distribution, and give global partners real governance power—all while operating on real cash-flow-generating assets.
The Solution
Fractional property ownership via smart contracts with automated profit distribution and full on-chain transparency. Token-weighted voting gives investors direct control over key decisions.
STAY token powers bookings, staking, and liquidity, while ROCKS NFTs unlock membership benefits. Revenue-backed buybacks reinforce long-term ecosystem value.
Integrated booking marketplace connects investment to real stays. On-chain commissions, fiat onramps, and seamless onboarding enable global participation.
