# Value Proposition

City Protocol creates value by turning the most difficult parts of neofinance into reusable infrastructure.

Onchain finance is no longer limited by user demand alone. Stablecoins have become a global settlement layer, RWA and institutional yield products are moving onchain, and consumer finance applications are beginning to look more like onchain investment applications than isolated crypto wallets. 

The bottleneck is infrastructure: tokenization, vault operations, investor controls, NAV reporting, verification, compliance integrations, liquidity management, and distribution are still fragmented across many providers and custom builds.

**City Protocol solves this by providing a modular neofinance stack:**

* TaaS turns yield assets and strategies into tokenized, verifiable, distribution-ready products.
* VaaS provides the vault operating system for secure deposits, NAV-driven accounting, strategy allocation, monitoring, and redemption.
* NaaS exposes yield, vaults, swaps, KYC/AML, lending, and rewards.

As such, City Protocol provides every participant in the value chain with a shared infrastructure layer for creating, operating, distributing, and using neofinance products.
