{% stepper %}

### Access Platform

Investors gain platform access by:

* Completing KYC verification
* Staking TPT tokens (amount determines access tier)
* Connecting a supported wallet
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Browse & Analyze

The marketplace displays available opportunities with key metrics:

| Metric               | Description                 |
| -------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Face Value**       | Total amount at maturity    |
| **Discount Rate**    | Current pricing             |
| **Implied Yield**    | Annualized return           |
| **Days to Maturity** | Time until payment          |
| **Debtor Rating**    | Creditworthiness assessment |
| **Seller History**   | Track record on platform    |

Investors can filter by asset type, yield range, maturity, debtor quality, and other parameters.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Invest

Investment options include:

| Option                 | Description                                |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
| **Full Purchase**      | Buy entire asset                           |
| **Fractional**         | Purchase a portion (subject to minimums)   |
| **Pool Participation** | Invest in diversified asset pools (future) |

Capital is committed via smart contract. Once funded, the investment is locked until maturity.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Monitor

During the holding period, investors can:

* Track asset status in dashboard
* Receive notifications on payment events
* View portfolio performance metrics
* Access debtor updates if available
  {% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Collect Yield

At maturity:

1. Debtor payment received by smart contract
2. Principal + yield calculated
3. Funds available for withdrawal or reinvestment
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

***

### Understanding Yields

Expected yields of 5-10% APY derive from:

| Factor              | Impact                                       |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| **Discount Rate**   | Typically 1-3% per 30 days                   |
| **Annualization**   | 30-day invoice at 2% discount ≈ 24% APY      |
| **Risk Adjustment** | Higher-risk debtors command higher discounts |
| **Market Dynamics** | Supply/demand affects pricing                |

{% hint style="info" %}
Yields are not guaranteed. Actual returns depend on successful debtor payment.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://triple-plus-global.gitbook.io/tpt-whitepaper/protocol-mechanics/for-investors.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
