The MiFID II-aligned infrastructure for real assets
CityZeen is a secondary market for commercial real estate, infrastructure, and ESG assets, built to MiFID II standards. Luxembourg AIF / CSSF authorisation route in progress; not yet a supervised entity. We are the algorithmic, AI-driven infrastructure layer — not a brokerage.
AI-driven pricing engine
18-criteria composite scoring using Claude + Cohere. Dynamic price adjustments, Monte Carlo simulation, market comparables from Global CRE services firm/CBRE/Savills.
Three issuance models
AI Score Token, Digital Share Token (SPV), and Surface-Area Token. Each model designed for different asset classes and investor profiles.
Secondary market
Positions tradeable 24/7 on the CityZeen secondary market. Fractional ownership, yield distribution, and portfolio management in one platform.
CZC settlement token
1 CZC = €1. Stablecoin convertible to USDC/USDT. Used for AI feature metering, membership fees, and cross-currency settlement.
How it works
Provider submits asset
Asset provider submits via the 5-step issuance wizard. KYB verification, ESG scoring, AI classification, and pricing score computed automatically.
AI scores and prices the asset
18-criteria composite score determines the listing tier (Premium ≥80, Standard ≥65, Basic ≥50). Listing fee = AUM × tier rate. Dynamic adjustments based on market conditions.
Tokens issued on-chain
ERC-7518 or ERC-3643 tokens minted on Polygon PoS via Coinbase Prime custody. Each token = legal fractional ownership of the underlying SPV position.
Investors buy via secondary market
KYC-verified investors browse, match via CityZeen AI, and buy tokens with SEPA (EUR) or USDC. Settlement T+2. Yield distributed quarterly.
AI continuously reprices
Cloudflare Cron runs weekly repricing. Price history logged to D1. Market pulse feeds from Global CRE services firm/CBRE/Savills benchmarks (Q1 2026).

Three ways to issue a real asset
CityZeen supports three distinct issuance models. Each serves different asset classes, investor profiles, and regulatory pathways.
Model 1 — AI Composite Score Token
The AI score token represents the CityZeen 18-criteria composite score of an asset, not direct ownership. It functions as an independent scoring product applicable across all three issuance models.
Use cases: Benchmark product, institutional data licensing, Bloomberg-tier API access at €8,000/month.
Token standard: ERC-20 on Polygon PoS.
Model 2 — Digital Share / SPV Token
Each token represents a fractional ownership of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) that holds the underlying real asset. This is the primary model for CRE, mixed-use, hospitality, and infrastructure assets.
Token standard: ERC-3643 (T-REX) or ERC-7518 on Polygon PoS, with built-in transfer restrictions for KYC compliance.
Yield distribution: Rental income distributed quarterly to token holders via SEPA or USDC. Distribution proportional to token holdings.
Model 3 — Surface-Area Token
One token = one square foot (or square metre) of LEED/green-certified real estate. Ideal for logistics warehouses, land, and residential CRE where surface area is the primary value driver.
Token inventory: 1 trillion CZT total announced. 100 billion available to customers now. Each CZT = 1 sq ft of LEED/green-certified CRE space, eliminating currency exposure.
CZC — The Settlement Token
CZC is CityZeen's platform token. It is not speculative — it is a fixed-value settlement instrument.
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Price | 1 CZC = €1 (fixed stablecoin) |
| Conversion | Convertible to USDC/USDT via Circle |
| Uses | AI feature metering, membership fees, cross-currency settlement |
| Top-up | SEPA transfer — account details on request |
| Minimum | No minimum CZC purchase |
Transparent, algorithmic fee structure
CityZeen fees are calculated by the AI pricing engine, not set by a salesperson. The composite score drives the tier, the tier drives the rate.
Listing fees — provider side
+1.0%/yr recurring
+1.25%/yr recurring
+1.5%/yr recurring
+1.75%/yr recurring
Transaction fees — investor side
All buy/sell transactions on the secondary market are charged to the investor at 0.5% of transaction value. Split 60/40 between provider and investor to align incentives.
18-Criteria composite scoring
Every asset receives a composite score from 0–100 before listing. The score is computed by the CityZeen AI engine using Claude Sonnet and Cohere embeddings.
