📊 What Happens Behind the Scenes

When you pay rent:

1. You send USDC to RentalAndRebate contract
2. Contract calculates equity portion (e.g., 10%)
3. EQTBLT minted to your wallet (e.g., 150 for $1,500)
4. Remaining rent sent to treasury (e.g., $1,350)
5. Payment recorded on-chain
6. Activity logged for governance

All transactions are transparent and verifiable on-chain.
