hak sewa

the Indonesian lease right — the legal category under which cyber-valley leaseholds sit. a hak sewa is a contract to use land or a building for an agreed term against payment; it is a right, not a title, and it never moves ownership.

for a foreign resident it is the cleanest way to hold cyber valley land: no citizenship requirement, no company needed, a notarized deed from PT PMA with extension pre-agreed on the century index — the renewal cost fixed by the index, not renegotiated at market. the estate's other instruments register ownership at the land office (hak pakai for foreigners on a completed structure, hak milik freehold for citizens); hak sewa stays a contract with the estate.

two payment forms, one right:

both inherit the zoning code as a covenant, and both carry the right to sublet.

subletting the land

the lease carries the right to sublet the land itself, not only a building on it. because a hak sewa runs 25 years, the holder can re-let their parcel-time at any horizon — an hour, a day, a week, a month, a season. this runs on the cyberia marketplace protocol: the parcel is exposed as time-horizoned claims that an agent discovers, prices, and books through the API and settles in USDT. the owner lists supply; agents on the demand side clear it.

the estate's cut is thin by design. the owner already paid for the land right (A upfront, B on a schedule); on a bare-land sublet the estate adds no capex and no management — only the rails (discovery, the price-clearing oracle, escrow, a verifiable on-chain claim), physical access through the Z4 gate, and permission under the zoning code. so the capture is not a management commission but two thin layers:

  • the standard area revenue tax — 10% of the sublet income, or 5% in a district that is a net exporter of energy, water, and food
  • a small marketplace settlement fee (~1–3%) for the protocol rails

all-in ≈ 11–13% (≈ 6–8% in self-sufficient districts) — far below a managed-accommodation commission, because for bare land the estate supplies rails and permission, not operations.

why thin is optimal: bare-land use is hard to police, so evasion is cheap and over-taxing just pushes deals off-platform. the estate wins by being the rails — agent demand, instant settlement, gate access, a claim the sublessee can verify — so staying on-platform is the path of least resistance, and it takes a small cut on high volume. the destination premium the estate creates is already captured twice — in the land price (the wave curve) and in the area tax — so a third hospitality-style commission would triple-count. horizon and use are gated by zoning (a day-market and a month-long camp are different permitted uses); within a permitted use the land-time clears freely.
