Announcing the launch of LienFi ($LFI)
$LFI is now live for trading on @base
LienFi is building modern capital rails for one of America's most established and overlooked yield markets: property tax liens

A couple things to look forward to this week:
-LienFi Litepaper
-LienFi 𝕏 Space
If you signed up for early access and haven’t received your invite yet, please hang in there.
We’ve intentionally kept access measured during the first couple weeks as we harden the platform prior to full access.
We’ll be sending out the 𝕏 Space RSVP post later today.

That does not make the asset risk-free. But the source of yield is different.
It is not just a market spread. It is a statutory framework attached to real property.
This is the asset class we're bringing onchain.

Tax lien yield is not just another form of RWA yield.
It is structurally different from most market-driven yield.
Why?
Because the return is not primarily created by borrower negotiation, market pricing, or protocol incentives.
It is created by statute. Set by law.

Tax liens work differently.
When property taxes are unpaid, local governments can sell the tax obligation to investors.
The investor’s rights, redemption economics, penalties, interest, deadlines, and enforcement process are defined by state and local law.
Anyone can write a smart contract. Almost no one can source tax liens across thousands of local jurisdictions.
Hundreds of municipal tax sales in New Jersey. County-by-county tax certificate sales across Florida’s 67 counties. Parish-by-parish auctions in Louisiana. Different rules, calendars, platforms, and procedures in each market.
That’s the moat. It took over a decade to build.
Our co-founder holds a 2015 patent on tax lien pricing and fractionalization. 15+ years in the asset class. Five years of fund infrastructure underneath.
Now it’s onchain.

LienFi early access update.
This week we added another measured cohort of early access users to the platform.
We are not opening access all at once.
The marketplace is being rolled out deliberately.

Florida tax liens were the first step.
Texas redeemable deeds are the next major asset type.
This week we reached agreement in principle for the first batch of Texas assets, allowing us to begin the tokenization process.
Measured access will continue.
Deliberate rollout. Real assets. Onchain rails.
Texas redeemable tax deeds carry a 25% statutory redemption premium.
Buy deed at $100k
If owner redeems, you receive $125k
If they don’t, you keep the property
This is the kind of asset LienFi is bringing onchain.
Florida tax liens carry a 5% statutory minimum interest on redemption.
Not market-set. Set by state law.
Even a lien won at 0.25% interest pays out at minimum 5% when redeemed.
A statutory floor like this does not exist anywhere else in DeFi credit markets.
